Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

45 Collectibles ("we," "us," or "our") is an independent e-commerce retailer selling patriotic memorabilia, apparel, coins, flags, and collectibles. Our store operates at shop.45collectibles.com. You can reach us at:

2. Information We Collect

We collect only what is necessary to process your order and communicate with you:

• Order information: your name, email address, shipping address, and order details.
• Payment information: payment is processed entirely by Square. We never see or store your card number, CVV, or full card details — Square returns only a payment token and confirmation.
• Session data: a temporary session cookie keeps your cart active across page loads. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.
• Communications: if you contact us by email, we retain that correspondence to resolve your inquiry.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Fulfill and ship your order.
• Send you transactional emails: order confirmation, shipping notification with tracking number, and account notices.
• Respond to support or return requests.
• Detect and prevent fraud.

We do not use your order information to send marketing or promotional email. Marketing newsletters ("The Patriot Dispatch") are sent exclusively through our newsletter platform (beehiiv) only to subscribers who explicitly opted in at the time of signup.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

We share information with the following sub-processors solely to operate the store:

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes.

5. Data Retention

We retain your order information for a minimum of 7 years for accounting and legal compliance purposes. Session data expires after 30 days of inactivity. You may request deletion of personal data not required for legal or accounting obligations by contacting us at privacy@45collectibles.com.

6. Your Rights

Depending on where you reside, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Delete your personal data (subject to retention obligations above).
• Opt out of marketing email — use the unsubscribe link in any newsletter or contact beehiiv directly.
• Portability — request a copy of your data in a machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@45collectibles.com with subject line "Privacy Request." We will respond within 30 days.

7. Cookies

We use one session cookie to manage your shopping cart across page loads. No third-party advertising or tracking cookies are set. You can clear this cookie at any time through your browser settings; doing so will empty your cart.

8. Security

All data is transmitted over TLS (HTTPS). Cardholder data is handled exclusively by Square and never touches our servers. We apply standard security practices including HTTPS-only cookies and CSRF protection.

9. Children's Privacy

Our store is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the store after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
