Gathering and Use of Information

Thrift World will only collect your personal information when you purchase our products, or when you voluntarily sign-up for a membership account in order to access certain areas of our site, or when you sign-up for our mailing list. Access to our web site is generally unrestricted, and you may browse it anonymously.

Information we collect from you will never be sold, rented, or shared with third-parties. However, we may need to share your information with our affiliated companies in order to provide services you have purchased or requested. We will make you aware of such instances.

Cookies

Our website utilizes “cookies”. A “cookie” is a small text file that permits us to recognize your browser in order to customize your experience, or permit you to access restricted areas. Cookies do not contain personal information.

 AI-Assisted Chat

We use Shopify to power AI-assisted chat on our online store. When you use our chat feature, your messages and other information you share in the conversation may be processed by Shopify to provide automated responses, assist with product recommendations, help with order-related questions, and improve the quality of the chat experience over time.

The AI-assisted chat may use information from our store, such as our product catalog, store policies, and website content, to answer questions. In some cases, chat interactions may be reviewed in conversation history so that our team can provide support and follow up when needed.

If available, the chat experience may also use customer information such as preferences, sizes, or purchase history to personalize recommendations or responses. This information is used only in connection with our store’s chat experience.

IP Address

Your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address is usually associated with the place from which you enter the Internet, like your Internet Service Provider, your company or your university. We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, gather broad demographic information, and administer our Web site.

Mailing Lists

As a member of our Web site you may occasionally receive an email newsletter informing you of new products and services. You may choose not to receive further email messages by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the email.
