Closetfolk is a fashion blog about putting outfits together, from work looks and weekend errands to wedding guest dressing and travel packing. Most of what we publish is free to read, and we collect only the information we need to keep the site running, improve what we write, and keep it free for you. This Privacy Policy explains what Closetfolk collects, why, and what choices you have.
By visiting or using closetfolk.com, you agree to the practices described here. If you don’t agree with this policy, please stop using the site.
Closetfolk is written for adults and is not intended for children under 13 or under 16. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone under that age, and we don’t direct any part of the site to them.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has given personal information to Closetfolk, please email us at the address at the bottom of this page. We will delete the information promptly once we confirm the request.
Closetfolk collects two broad kinds of information.
Information you give us directly
Information collected automatically
Some of it comes from you. You might fill in a contact form, subscribe to our newsletter, leave a comment under an outfit post, enter a giveaway, or send us an email.
The rest is gathered automatically while you browse. Server log files, cookies, Google Analytics, and similar tools record how visitors reach Closetfolk and what they read once they arrive.
Closetfolk uses the information it collects to:
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They help a site remember who you are between pages and visits.
Closetfolk uses cookies to keep the site working, remember your settings, understand how readers use our pages, and support advertising and affiliate tracking. Some cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others stay for a set period.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Most browsers let you refuse all cookies or ask before accepting them. If you disable them, some parts of Closetfolk may not work as intended.
Like most websites, Closetfolk keeps standard log files. Each time you load a page, our hosting provider records technical details such as your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring page, and the date and time of the request.
This data is not linked to information that identifies you personally. We use it to analyze trends, troubleshoot problems, and keep the site secure.
Closetfolk and some of our partners use web beacons, tracking pixels, and tags. These are tiny pieces of code that record whether a page was viewed, whether an email was opened, or whether a link was clicked.
We use them for site analytics today. If we add advertising or additional measurement tools later, they may use the same technologies.
Closetfolk uses Google Analytics to understand how people find and use the site. Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, device type, and approximate location, using cookies and similar technologies.
Google processes this data under its own privacy policy, which you can read at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can also install Google’s browser add-on for opting out of Analytics tracking, available from Google.
Pages on Closetfolk may include embedded content such as videos, images, social media posts, or articles from other websites. Visiting a page with embedded content works the same way as visiting the original site.
These outside sites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, load third-party tracking, and monitor how you interact with the embedded material, including when you have an account with them and are logged in. Closetfolk doesn’t control those practices.
Our outfit posts often link to retailers, brands, and other websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to Closetfolk and does not cover any site you reach through a link.
Please read the privacy policy of any site you visit. We have no control over how they handle your information and aren’t responsible for it.
Closetfolk may work with third-party advertising partners, now or in the future, to display ads on the site. These partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites, and to show you ads based on your interests.
You can opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies through the Network Advertising Initiative at https://optout.networkadvertising.org and the Digital Advertising Alliance at https://optout.aboutads.info. Opting out does not remove ads. It means the ads you see will be less tailored to you.
Closetfolk participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Associates Program. When we link to a jacket, a pair of boots, or a handbag and you buy it, we may earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra.
Affiliate links are marked, and our recommendations are never decided by commission rates. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer may set a cookie to track the referral. That retailer’s privacy policy governs what it collects.
Closetfolk does not sell your name or email address to anyone. We share information only in these cases:
If you subscribe to the Closetfolk newsletter, we use your email address to send outfit ideas, new posts, and occasional updates about the site. We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, which means we don’t use misleading subject lines, we identify the sender clearly, and we include our contact details in our messages.
Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. We honor unsubscribe requests promptly, and no later than ten business days.
You are always free to opt out. Here is how:
When you leave a comment on Closetfolk, we collect the name, email address, IP address, and comment text you submit, along with your browser details to help catch spam. Your name and comment are visible to other readers. Your email address is not shown.
If you interact with Closetfolk on social media, such as by following, commenting, or messaging us, that platform’s policy governs your data. We may see your public profile name and anything you post to us. Please avoid sharing sensitive details in public comments.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the GDPR gives you these rights over your personal data:
We process your data on the basis of your consent, our legitimate interests in running and improving Closetfolk, and legal obligations. To use any of these rights, contact us using the email below.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to:
Closetfolk does not sell personal information in exchange for money. Some advertising and analytics activities may count as a “sale” or “sharing” under California law, and the opt-out above covers those too.
We respond to verified requests within one month. If we need more time, up to the 45 days the law allows, we’ll tell you why. We may ask you to confirm your identity first.
We keep information only as long as we have a reason to. Comments and their details are kept indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation. Newsletter subscriber information is kept until you unsubscribe. Analytics and log data are kept for a limited time and then deleted or anonymized. Messages you send us are kept as long as needed to answer you and keep a record of the conversation.
You can ask us to delete your data sooner at any time.
Closetfolk takes reasonable, industry-standard steps to protect your information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. These include secure hosting, encrypted connections, restricted access, and regular software updates.
No method of transmitting or storing data online is 100 percent secure. We can’t guarantee absolute security, and you share information with Closetfolk at your own risk.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, tools, or the law. When we do, we’ll change the effective date below. It is your responsibility to check this page now and then. If you keep using Closetfolk after an update, you accept the revised policy.
This Privacy Policy is effective as of October 2026.
If you have a question about this policy, or you’d like to access, correct, or delete your information, or opt out of anything described above, please email us:
