Privacy Policy

• Account and profile data: email address, username, optional name, verification status, account identifiers, and authentication/security records, collected from you and our account provider.
• Preferences and saved content: newsletter and promotional choices, consent timestamps, category interests, and saved favourites.
• Communications: information you include when contacting us, along with delivery, suppression, bounce, and complaint records associated with email.
• Usage and device data: pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP, device/browser details, referring pages, consent choice, and security logs. Analytics and advertising data is collected only when the applicable consent control permits it.
• Affiliate interaction data: product, placement, timestamp, referral identifier, and, where signed in, account identifier associated with an outbound click. The destination merchant may independently collect data under its own notice.

• To create, secure, authenticate, and administer accounts; provide favourites and requested features; and respond to requests — performance of our agreement and legitimate interests.
• To detect fraud, protect systems, enforce terms, and establish or defend legal claims — legitimate interests and legal obligations.
• To send optional newsletters and promotional campaigns — consent where required. Account registration alone is not marketing consent.
• To measure traffic, improve the archive, and operate analytics or advertising technologies — consent where required, and otherwise legitimate interests permitted by law.
• To attribute affiliate referrals and administer commercial relationships — legitimate interests, subject to cookie or tracking consent where required.
• To satisfy tax, accounting, regulatory, consumer-protection, and law-enforcement obligations — legal obligations.

Essential storage supports security and remembers your privacy choice. Non-essential analytics and advertising scripts run only after you select “Accept All.” You can select “Decline” to withhold that consent. Clearing browser storage may reset your choice.

When you follow an affiliate link, we and the destination network or merchant may use referral parameters or cookies to attribute a purchase. Those third parties act under their own privacy notices. Browser “Do Not Track” signals are not standardized; where applicable law requires recognition of a valid opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, we will treat it as an opt-out from sale or cross-context behavioral sharing.

Newsletter and promotional subscriptions are separate, optional choices available to verified users. We record the current preference and the time it was enabled. Each marketing email identifies Selected Finds, states why it was sent, includes our postal address, and provides an unsubscribe link.

You may withdraw consent in your profile or unsubscribe from all marketing through any marketing email. We apply requests promptly and no later than required by applicable law. We retain a minimal suppression record so the address is not re-added accidentally. Opting out of marketing does not stop essential account, verification, password, security, or legal messages.

We disclose information only as reasonably necessary to service providers supporting hosting, database, authentication, security, analytics, and email delivery; to affiliate networks or merchants when you follow an outbound link; to professional advisers; in a corporate transaction; or when required to protect rights, safety, or comply with law.

Service providers are authorized to process information for contracted purposes. We do not sell personal information for money. Based on our current practices, we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined by California law. If that changes, we will update this notice and provide required controls before the change.

Our operator is established in the Czech Republic, while providers, affiliate networks, and recipients may operate in the United States or other countries. Where required, we rely on adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, contractual safeguards, or another lawful transfer mechanism. Privacy protections may differ outside your country.

• Account/profile data: while the account is active, then deleted or anonymized after closure except where retention is legally required.
• Favourites and preferences: until removed, changed, or the account is closed.
• Marketing consent evidence and suppression records: for the period needed to demonstrate compliance and prevent unwanted re-enrolment, generally up to six years after the last relevant event unless law requires otherwise.
• Email delivery and security logs: generally up to 24 months, longer only for active investigations, disputes, or legal duties.
• Affiliate click and aggregated analytics data: generally up to 25 months, then deleted or aggregated, subject to provider settings and legal needs.
• Direct correspondence: generally up to three years after resolution, longer if needed for a legal claim.

Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection; withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing; and lodge a complaint with the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection (Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů) or your local supervisory authority.

We may verify your identity and may deny or limit a request where permitted by law. We do not use personal information for solely automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects.

In the preceding 12 months, we may have collected identifiers, internet/electronic activity, approximate geolocation, commercial or preference information, and inferences from stated interests. We collect them for the purposes described in Section 2 and retain them according to Section 7. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not knowingly sell or share personal information of consumers under 16.

California residents may request to know/access, correct, or delete covered personal information, receive portable information, and exercise any applicable opt-out or limitation right without discriminatory treatment. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law. Contact us at hello@selectedfinds.com; we will verify and respond as required. We do not offer financial incentives for personal information.

Selected Finds is not directed to children under 13 and accounts or marketing subscriptions are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided information, contact us so we can investigate and delete it. Users between 13 and the age of majority should use the site only with a parent or guardian where required.

We use reasonable organizational and technical safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. Protect your credentials and contact us if you suspect misuse. Links leave Selected Finds; third parties control their own processing, security, and terms.

We may update this Policy to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. The effective date will change, and we will provide additional notice where required. Requests and questions may be sent to hello@selectedfinds.com or by post to Aurora-hub s.r.o., IČO 29944198, Registered with the Municipal Court in Prague, Section C, Insert 454917, Rybná 716/24, Staré Město, 110 00 Praha, Czech Republic.
