Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Department of Consent (“Department of Consent,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) handles personal information when you browse or interact with our shop. The shop uses Fourthwall to provide catalog, cart, order, fulfillment, and hosted-checkout services. Fourthwall separately handles information under its own privacy policy when you use those commerce services.

Information you provide

Depending on how you use the shop, you may provide:

• Contact and delivery details, such as your name, email address, billing address, shipping address, and phone number.
• Order details, including the products, variants, quantities, delivery method, currency, and transaction history associated with a purchase.
• Communications you send about an order, return, product, commission, or customer-support request, including any photographs you provide to document a quality issue.
• Your email address if you choose to join the Department of Consent newsletter.

Payment-card and wallet information is collected and processed by Fourthwall and its payment providers at checkout. Department of Consent does not receive or store your complete payment card number through this website.

Information collected automatically

When you visit, standard technical information may be collected, including your IP address, browser and device type, referring and viewed pages, approximate location derived from your IP address, dates and times of access, and interactions with the site. This information may be collected through server logs, cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies.

The shop stores a Fourthwall cart identifier in your browser’s local storage so your cart can be retrieved between visits. The identifier is cleared if the cart expires or when you clear your browser data. It does not contain your complete payment information.

Analytics and site technologies

Department of Consent currently uses Google Analytics to understand site traffic and page use. Google may receive device, usage, and network information and may use cookies or similar technologies. If configured, we may also use Plausible for aggregate site analytics. You can limit these technologies through browser settings, content blockers, or Google’s available opt-out tools.

Pages may also request hosted fonts and other site assets from service providers, which receive ordinary request information such as your IP address and browser details.

How we use information

We use personal information to:

• display products, maintain carts, process purchases, and arrange delivery;
• provide order updates, answer questions, and resolve quality or return requests;
• operate, secure, troubleshoot, analyze, and improve the shop;
• detect fraud, misuse, security incidents, or other prohibited activity;
• send requested newsletters or marketing messages, with an unsubscribe option; and
• comply with legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations.

We may aggregate or de-identify information and use it for any lawful purpose where it can no longer reasonably identify you.

How information is disclosed

We may disclose information to:

• Fourthwall and commerce providers that operate catalog, cart, checkout, payment, fraud-prevention, production, shipping, customer-service, and return functions.
• Operational providers that support hosting, analytics, email delivery, newsletter subscriptions, and other business systems.
• Professional advisers and authorities where reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights and safety, prevent fraud, or respond to lawful requests.
• A successor organization in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, or sale of all or part of the business, subject to applicable law.

We may also disclose information at your direction or with your consent. Department of Consent does not sell mailing lists.

Fourthwall’s role

Fourthwall provides the shop’s ecommerce services and is the seller and merchant of record for products purchased through its checkout. Its data practices are governed by the Fourthwall Privacy Policy. Fourthwall’s policy and checkout notices control its own collection and processing of information.

Retention and security

We keep personal information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, including customer support, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. Retention by Fourthwall and other providers is governed by their own policies. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your choices and privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails through the link in any message. To make a request concerning information controlled by Department of Consent, email support@departmentofconsent.com. For checkout, payment, or order data controlled by Fourthwall, contact Fourthwall through the support details associated with your order.

International visitors

Department of Consent and its providers operate in the United States and other countries. Your information may therefore be transferred to and processed in places with data laws different from those where you live, subject to safeguards required by applicable law.

Adults only

The Department of Consent website and shop are intended only for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the shop, contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Other sites and policy changes

Links to external websites and hosted checkout pages are governed by those services’ own policies. We may update this policy as the shop or law changes. The revised version becomes effective when posted, with the “Last updated” date changed above.
