Privacy and Data Collection

Website Tracking and Data Collection


Our Privacy Promise

The Labour Movement exists to promote fairness and transparency in global trade. We apply the same principles to how we handle your information. We collect only the data necessary to operate our marketplace and send communications you request. We do not sell personal data or track people across the web.

At The Labour Movement, we believe ethical commerce should also mean ethical data practices.

That means we collect as little data as possible, explain clearly what we collect, and never sell your personal information.

Below is a simple explanation of how data works on our website.

What data we collect

We only collect information that is needed to run our marketplace or that you choose to give us.

This may include:

  • your email address if you sign up for updates
  • your shipping information when you place an order
  • optional preferences you choose to share (for example, product categories you like)

If you provide information in a form, it is used only for the purpose explained at the time you submit it.

What we do NOT do

We do not:

  • track you across other websites
  • sell your personal information
  • share your data with advertising networks
  • use behavioral advertising systems

In other words, we do not participate in the kind of tracking that follows people around the internet.

Cookies

Our website uses a small number of essential cookies.

Cookies help basic parts of the store work, such as:

  • keeping items in your cart
  • remembering your session during checkout
  • maintaining site security

These cookies are created by the platform that runs our store.

We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.

Services that help us run the store

We use a small number of trusted services to operate the marketplace.

Website platform

  • Shopify

Email communications

  • Brevo

These services process limited information only to help us run the store and send communications you request.

They do not receive your information for advertising purposes through our site.

Email preferences

If you sign up for our email list, you may optionally tell us what kinds of products interest you.

For example:

  • jewelry
  • home goods
  • gifts

This helps us send you relevant updates instead of unnecessary emails.

Providing this information is completely optional.

Our commitment

We believe transparency and fair treatment should apply to people and data alike.

Our commitments are simple:

  • collect the minimum data necessary
  • explain clearly how it is used
  • never sell your personal information
  • avoid invasive tracking technologies

If you ever have questions about how your information is used, you can contact us anytime at smiles@thelabourmovement.com or 818-913-2252
