Alabama Chanin Legal Page

At Alabama Chanin, we value your experience and share our commitment to good, clean, and fair work and life with all of our guests. We conduct our business in the most transparent ways we can—from our sustainable supply chain to responsible methods of manufacturing to how we use the information we collect from you.

We collect information solely to improve your experience and to communicate about our products and services.

This Privacy Policy explains our online and offline information practices, the kinds of information we may collect, how we intend to use and share that information, and how you can opt out of a use or change such information.

Alabama Chanin, Inc., is the sole owner of all information collected on this site. The information that you supply to us enables us to personalize your experience on this site, to better service your requests, to facilitate our communications with you, and to improve our overall customer service capabilities. The information that we collect from you is used entirely and only by us, except in cases where we use third parties to perform certain functions for us, such as credit card processing, order fulfillment, package delivery, or data analysis. In these cases, we provide such third parties with access only to the information that is necessary for them to perform the specific tasks for which they are responsible, and they are not authorized to retain, share, store or that information for any other purpose. We will not share your information with, or sell or rent your information to, any other party for any reason. In the event that we contemplate using your information for any purpose other than those outlined above, we will notify you and provide you with an opportunity to choose not to share your information in the manner contemplated.

By clicking an affiliate link on our website, Alabama Chanin, Inc. will earn a small commission from the product purchased through that link. This commission supports our business and helps us stock our 100% organic fabrics, pay our employees a living wage, and allows our teams to continue to design and create the products that you love. We only provide links that we fully trust and stand behind and are disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".

A cookie is a piece of data transferred by us to your hard drive which allows our system to recognize your browser on subsequent visits to this site. We may use cookies to enable us to track and target your interests, and to enhance your experience on this site.  Cookies are not linked to personally identifiable information. 

The website uses cookies to help keep track of items you put into your shopping cart including when you have abandoned your cart and this information is used to determine when to send cart reminder messages via SMS or email.

We may use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer this site, track movement and to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

  

CHILDREN

Although we offer for sale on this site merchandise that may be suitable for use by children, this site does not otherwise cater to children in any way.

SECURITY

We have incorporated into this site certain features designed to safeguard information that we obtain from you. For example, when you are asked to enter certain sensitive information (such as a credit card number), that information is protected with encryption software.

While we use measures like encryption to protect sensitive information, we also take measures to protect your sensitive information offline. Because our websites are an extension of our retail stores, the stores and online inventory and customer databases may be linked. Access to such databases is limited to those employees that require access in order to perform specific functions such as billing, order processing, shipping and customer service, and such access is password protected. If you have questions about the security features of this site, you may send an e-mail to office@alabamachanin.com
