Dearest valued patron,
At Corset Story, we cherish your privacy as dearly as the craftsmanship of our steel-boned corsets. This policy outlines how we collect, protect, and use your personal information with the same care we apply to our sartorial creations.

1. Information We Collect

Like the careful measurements taken for a bespoke corset, we collect only what is necessary:

  • Personal Details: Your name, email address, shipping information, and contact details when you place an order or create an account
  • Payment Information: Credit card details processed through secure gateways (we never store full payment details)
  • Measurements: For custom orders, we may collect sizing information to ensure perfect fit
  • Browsing Data: Information about your interactions with our website, including pages visited and items viewed

  • To send promotional communications (only with your consent)
  • To prevent fraud and ensure transaction security
