When you subscribe to the A Type of Style email list or buy a product through the website, you’re not only showing us your great taste but you’re also making a secure, protected purchase. We’ll ask you to provide your name, email address, username, password, zip code/postal code and or mailing address. IP address may also be recorded to authenticate users.

When you like an offer or follow a company, we will link this information with your user account so that we can give you updates when similar offers are introduced.

Why do you need my info?

A few reasons:

1. To send email updates: The email address you provide will be used to send information and updates pertaining to our website, special offers on vegan products, and any vegan-related information that we think you will enjoy. You’ve got things to do so we use this info to make discovering new vegan products easy for you.

2. To improve our website: We know, we know. You love A Type of Style like Mark Darcy loved Bridget Jones: Just the way it is. We’re focused on continually improving our website and the information and feedback we receive from you will help us do just that.

Do we use cookies?

Yes, we use cookies to track referrals, for user authentication and marketing purposes. We also include cookies in our subscription Snack Box sometimes but those are the less technical kind.

Do we disclose any information to outside parties?

Sharing is caring…but sometimes it’s not. Here’s what we don’t share:

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential and protected.

Here’s what we do share:

We share your shipping address with our product suppliers because they’re not so good at reading minds when trying to figure out where to ship orders.

We may release your information when we believe it’s necessary to comply with the law, enforce our website policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.

Non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

In addition, we or a third party service provider acting on our behalf may temporarily refer to personal information from you when your purchase is valid for targeted promotional offers. If you accept a gift from one of our gifting partners, we may transfer personally identifiable information to them so that you can receive and make use of the gift accepted, and they can respond to your inquiries. In these cases, your personal information will only be used to deliver the gift code to you, not for any additional purposes.
