Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy policy explains how seasonal-costume-and-props-inventory.hub2.day (“CostumeVault,” “the site,” “we,” or “us”) handles information when you visit or use our public static website. The site is a focused web utility that helps families, community theaters, cosplay groups, and holiday decorators photograph, tag, and store their seasonal costume and prop inventories so they can find pieces quickly before the next event.

We try to keep data practices simple and transparent. This policy covers browser-local project inputs, contact email, server and security logs, cookies and local storage, advertising, and the choices available to visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and California.

Information We Collect

1. Browser-local project inputs

CostumeVault is designed to let you organize costume and prop information directly in your browser. Notes, tags, categories, and other inventory details you enter are stored locally on your device using browser features such as localStorage or similar client-side storage. We do not automatically receive or store this information on our servers.

If you clear your browser data, use private browsing, or switch devices, that locally stored information may be lost. Please back up anything important to you.

2. Contact email

If you email us at hello@seasonal-costume-and-props-inventory.hub2.day, we will see the content of your message, your email address, and any information you choose to include. We use this only to respond to your request and to operate the site.

3. Server and security logs

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure may automatically record limited technical information when you visit, such as:

• Requested page or resource
• Approximate time of the request
• Browser type and operating system
• Referring address, if any
• General network information such as IP address or connection metadata

These logs are used for site operation, troubleshooting, abuse prevention, and security. They are not used to build detailed personal profiles.

4. Cookies and local storage

The site may use cookies, localStorage, and similar technologies for:

• Remembering your preferences and settings
• Keeping your inventory inputs available as you use the site
• Delivering and measuring advertising

We do not use cookies to secretly track you across unrelated websites.

5. Advertising data

We use Google AdSense, including auto ads, to support the site. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites, and may collect information such as:

• Device and browser information
• General location derived from IP address
• Interactions with ads and pages

Google’s use of advertising cookies and identifiers is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s information about advertising. You can manage ad personalization through Google’s Ads Settings or other industry tools.

Legal Bases and Consent (GDPR / EEA / UK)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on appropriate legal bases under applicable data protection law:

• Legitimate interests: to operate the site, keep it secure, and show non-intrusive advertising.
• Consent: where required, for certain cookies and advertising technologies. You can withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using the controls we provide.
• Contractual necessity / pre-contractual steps: to respond to your messages when you contact us.

Where consent is the basis, you may refuse or withdraw it without affecting the core informational use of the site, though some convenience features or ad personalization may change.

Your Privacy Choices

1. Browser and device controls

You can usually limit or delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings. If you block all cookies, some site features may not work as expected.

2. GDPR / EEA / UK rights

Depending on your location and situation, you may have rights to:

• Access personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of personal data
• Restrict or object to certain processing
• Request data portability
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@seasonal-costume-and-props-inventory.hub2.day. We may need to verify your request before responding.

3. CCPA / CPRA-style choices (California visitors)

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to:

• Know what personal information is collected and how it is used
• Request deletion of personal information
• Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, including for cross-context behavioral advertising
• Non-discrimination for exercising your rights

We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense. Because we use Google AdSense, certain uses of identifiers for advertising may be treated as “sale” or “sharing” under California law. You can opt out by:

• Using any on-site opt-out control we provide, if available
• Managing cookies and ad personalization in your browser
• Using industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance or NAI opt-out pages

To submit a request, email hello@seasonal-costume-and-props-inventory.hub2.day with a description of what you would like us to do.

Service Providers

We use third-party service providers to host the site, deliver content, and serve advertising. These providers may process limited technical information on our behalf. We choose providers carefully and limit what they can do with data, but we do not control their independent practices. Their own policies apply to their processing.

Data Retention

• Browser-local inputs: stored on your device until you delete them or clear your browser data.
• Contact emails: kept only as long as needed to handle your request and maintain basic records, then deleted or anonymized.
• Server and security logs: retained for a limited period appropriate for security and troubleshooting, then deleted or aggregated.

Children’s Privacy

CostumeVault is a general-interest utility and is not directed specifically at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can address it.

Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the information we handle, but no website or network transmission is completely secure. Please treat any locally stored inventory data as you would other important personal records.

Third-Party Links

The site may link to third-party websites, services, or resources. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review their policies before providing personal information.

International Processing

Our site is operated from and the associated services may be provided from multiple countries. If you visit from outside the country where the site is operated, your information may be transferred to and processed in a different jurisdiction. We rely on appropriate safeguards where required by law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the revised policy.
