This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard personal information obtained through various channels — including our websites, mobile applications, social media platforms, emails, phone communications, and face-to-face interactions. It also explains how we handle personal data shared with us by third parties, and provides a summary of your rights regarding that information.
By engaging with our services — whether you’re browsing our site, creating an account, logging in, or subscribing to newsletters or promotional content — you are consenting to the ways we may use your personal data as described in this Policy. In some cases, we may jointly manage your personal information with our partners, meaning both parties share responsibilities for how your data is handled. Please note, in such cases, our partners will apply their own privacy policies when processing your data.
You have control over behavioral advertising cookies through the Privacy Settings available on our site. More detailed information about cookies and other tracking technologies is provided in Section 12.
If you reside in certain areas — such as the United Kingdom, European Union, or U.S. states with comprehensive consumer privacy laws — you are entitled to specific privacy rights. These rights are explained in Sections 7 and 8 of this Policy.
At trendsturds.com, the term “personal information” (sometimes known as “personal data” under privacy laws in certain regions) refers to any data that can reasonably be linked to you as an individual. This includes things like your name, contact details, or digital identifiers. If data is stripped of identifying elements and cannot be traced back to a person, we treat it as non-personal — and we commit not to try reidentifying it.
While the exact legal definition of personal information may differ depending on your country or state, we apply the same high standards to privacy across the board.
We collect information in several ways, including what you provide to us directly, what we gather automatically from your device, and what we receive from trusted partners.

Name, email address, and phone number
Delivery or billing addresses
Login credentials
Payment details (via secure processors)
Business information if you’re offering products/services
Any preferences or choices you share (like newsletter topics)
We may collect this information through online forms, browser sessions, mobile apps, emails, or even by phone or mail.
If you subscribe to our digital or physical products, we work with secure third-party providers who handle payment, user account setup, and personalization services on our behalf.
These partners collect data including your:
Name, email address, and password
Payment details (credit/debit cards or platforms like Apple Pay)
Subscription preferences and activity
Address and delivery details
Each third-party partner has their own privacy policies, which govern how your data is handled. You can refer to their respective sites for further details.
When you browse trendsturds.com or use our apps, we may gather device-related data such as:
Device type, operating system, and browser version
Screen resolution, hardware specs, and language settings
IP address and approximate geographic location
Unique device identifiers (like Advertiser ID or UID)
GPS/location info (if permitted by your device)
Cookie data and tracking tags (see our Cookies section for full details)
This information helps us customize your experience and improve the functionality of our platform.
If you use any tools or browser extensions we offer, we may collect:
A unique install ID to identify your extension instance
Technical logs including browser type, truncated IP, device specs, Java status, cookie settings
Interaction logs such as URLs visited, time on page, clicks, scrolls, and searches
Data about user behavior within the tool (e.g. what features you use most, what content you view)
We use this data to enhance our tools and deliver more relevant experiences. Any identifying data is handled with care and in accordance with applicable laws.
If you post a comment on our website — including on blogs, forums, or under articles — your username and the content of your comment may be publicly visible. Please avoid including personal details (like your full name, address, or workplace) in comments.
We’re not responsible for what others do with the information you choose to make public. Check out our [Community Guidelines] and [Terms of Use] for more.
When you make a purchase or complete a financial transaction through trendsturds.com, we collect:
Your name and contact info

We may share necessary details with fulfillment partners to deliver your order properly.
If you’ve signed up through a partner service or another website that works with us, we may receive information they’ve collected with your consent — such as contact details, subscription preferences, or browsing behavior.
We sometimes use demographic data (like lifestyle or interest categories) from reputable data providers to tailor our marketing and content. You can opt out of this profiling under the Marketing Preferences section of this policy.
If you log into trendsturds.com using a social account (like Google, Facebook, or X), those platforms may share certain info with us — such as:
Your name and email address
Profile picture or username
Other data you’ve permitted them to share
You can revoke our access anytime via your social account’s settings.
We also use social plugins that allow you to share content or engage with your social feeds directly from our site. See Section 7 of this Policy for details on how these integrations work.
If you enable browser notifications from our website, we collect:
The page you subscribed from
Your browser and device type
Whether the notification was shown

You can opt out of this kind of profiling in your Privacy Settings.

With your permission, we use cookie identifiers to see if we recognize you from a past visit. This helps us personalize your experience or match your preferences with relevant content.
Legal basis for processing: Consent
We may work with partners to create audience groups based on shared attributes. This includes “lookalike audiences” — people with similar behaviors or interests — to help show relevant ads or content.
This process is secure and managed through privacy-respecting third-party platforms.
Legal basis for processing: Consent or legitimate interests
Some of our advertising is customized based on the content you engage with, while some is simply based on the page you’re viewing. We may show ads to you based on:

If you or your company provides services to trendsturds.com, we may collect necessary business contact information to manage that relationship. This includes basic identifiers, communication history, and payment details (if applicable).
Legal basis for processing: Legitimate interests or contract
In certain cases, trendsturds.com may be required by law — or by the terms of a contract with you — to collect specific personal information. If you choose not to provide that information when requested, we may be unable to fulfill our obligations to you.
For example, if you don’t share essential details needed to process a subscription, purchase, or access a service, we may not be able to deliver the product or service you’ve requested. If this happens, we’ll let you know and may need to cancel or suspend the relevant service.
At trendsturds.com, we sometimes need to share your information with carefully selected third parties to help us deliver our services, fulfill orders, manage customer interactions, and improve your overall experience. Below is a transparent breakdown of when and how we may share your data, always in accordance with privacy regulations.
When you make a purchase or request a service, we may work with third-party companies (such as payment processors, delivery services, or product vendors) to complete your order or provide support. These companies process your data solely on our behalf, and they’re contractually obligated not to use it for any other purpose.
In rare cases where one of these partners acts as a data controller (i.e., responsible for how your data is handled), we’ll inform you upfront before you provide any information.
Legal basis for processing: Contract
We rely on external service providers to assist with logistics, customer service, promotional campaigns, and more. These providers only process your information based on our instructions and are not allowed to use it independently.
Legal basis for processing: Contract, consent (when applicable), or legitimate interests
Occasionally, we collaborate with other brands to bring you joint promotions or special offers. If you participate, your information may be shared with our promotional partner, who will handle your data according to their own privacy policy. We’ll always clarify this arrangement before you enter.
Legal basis for processing: Consent or legitimate interests
We sometimes team up with affiliates and industry partners to offer exclusive deals on products or services you might be interested in. If you engage with these offers—such as booking travel, using a financial tool, or purchasing through a referral link—your data may be shared with the partner for fulfillment and reporting purposes.
These partners are responsible for how your data is used and will process it under their own privacy terms.
Legal basis for processing: Legitimate interests
We may share limited user data with technical service providers to support specific features on our site or app (e.g., embedded tools, content personalization modules, or system performance services).
Legal basis for processing: Contract, consent, or legitimate interests
For advertising and marketing insight purposes, we may provide partners with aggregate, non-personal data—such as general demographic info or website usage trends. This data does not include personally identifying information.
Legal basis for processing: Consent
With your permission, we may partner with advertising platforms and data companies to:
Show you personalized ads
Sync anonymized identifiers (like hashed emails or device IDs)
Re-create deleted cookies (if consented)
Perform audience analysis and lookalike targeting
These partners may use privacy-safe methods such as “clean rooms” where personal identifiers are encrypted and never exchanged directly.
You can control or withdraw your consent for these partners via our Privacy Settings or by visiting their opt-out pages (e.g., LiveRamp, ID5).
Legal basis for processing: Consent or legitimate interests
We may enrich your profile using insights from data providers—such as lifestyle or demographic data—when we have appropriate permissions. This helps us send more relevant communications and improve marketing accuracy. You can opt out of profiling by adjusting your settings or contacting us directly.
Legal basis for processing: Consent or legitimate interests
When you interact with us on social platforms (e.g., Facebook Pages), the platform may collect data as a joint controller with us to provide insights and analytics. We use this data in summary form to better understand our audience and content engagement, not to identify individual users.
For more information, please consult each platform’s privacy policy.
Legal basis for processing: Legitimate interests
We include social sharing buttons and follow widgets (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram) to make content easy to share. These may collect some data—such as your IP address or browser info—only if you interact with them.
We don’t receive personal information from these platforms, but we may receive anonymized usage statistics.
Legal basis for processing: Legitimate interests
If we ever sell, merge, restructure, or transfer any part of our business, your data may be transferred as part of the transaction. In any such event, we’ll continue to protect your personal data under the terms of this policy.
Legal basis for processing: Legitimate interests
We may take part in independent audience measurement studies that track online behaviors across websites and devices. These projects may use tagging scripts and digital fingerprinting to collect anonymized, non-invasive data like time spent on site, device type, and browser info.
Participation is strictly voluntary and subject to your consent. You can opt out through the respective measurement provider’s contact links or privacy policies.
Legal basis for processing: Legitimate interests or consent (if required)
trendsturds.com is headquartered in the United States, and most of our data processing activities occur here. When we work with third-party service providers to help deliver our services, those partners are required to follow strict data protection agreements that limit how they access, use, or store your personal information.
We place contractual safeguards and technical restrictions on all partners handling your data to ensure your information is kept secure and treated in line with applicable privacy laws.
If we transfer personal information across borders — for example, from users in the United Kingdom, European Union, or other countries with strict data privacy laws — we comply with relevant regulations such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR. When a receiving country (like the U.S.) hasn’t been formally recognized by the EU or UK as offering equivalent data protections, we rely on:
Standard contractual clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or UK authorities, or
Other legally approved transfer mechanisms.
No matter where your data is processed, we take reasonable steps to keep it safe, and we apply consistent privacy and security standards across all our operations.
This section of our Privacy Policy applies specifically to individuals residing in certain U.S. states that have enacted comprehensive consumer privacy legislation. These include, but aren’t limited to: California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, Minnesota, Maryland, and any other state with similar privacy protections (collectively referred to as “Covered States”).
Depending on your state of residence, and whether trendsturds.com is operating as a “business” or “controller” under those laws, you may have a number of rights related to your personal data. This section explains those rights and how you can exercise them.
If you’re a resident of a Covered State, you may be entitled to the following:
You can request details about:
The categories and specific pieces of personal data we’ve collected
Why we collected it
Where it came from
Who we’ve shared it with (including third parties and service providers)
Whether that sharing qualifies as a “sale” or “share” under your state’s law
Delaware residents: You may also request a list of third-party categories we’ve shared your personal data with.
You have the right to request a downloadable copy of your personal information in a structured, portable, and machine-readable format—allowing you to move it to another platform or business.
We honor this request up to twice per year, and when delivered electronically, we’ll provide it in a format that is usable and transferable.
You can request that we delete any personal data we’ve collected from you. However, there are exceptions where we may retain certain data, such as:
Completing a transaction or fulfilling a contract
Detecting fraud or security issues
Debugging or repairing product features
Exercising free speech or other legal rights
Research purposes (with your consent)
Internal operations that align with your expectations
Legal compliance
If any of the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate, you can request that we correct it.
You may choose to opt out of:
Targeted advertising (a.k.a. behavioral ad tracking)
Sale of your personal data
Profiling that produces legal or significant effects (except in Iowa and Utah)
As of the latest update:
✅ We do share personal data with third parties for targeted advertising.
❌ We do not sell your personal data for monetary value.
❌ We do not use profiling to make legal or similarly significant decisions about you.
You can opt out any time by clicking the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on our website, which opens our Privacy Settings. We also respect Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals from your browser.
To make a request related to your privacy rights, please reach out to us using the contact information provided in Section 18 of this Privacy Policy. Be sure to include the type of request you’re making (e.g., access, deletion, correction), and confirm that you are a resident of a Covered State.
We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. If we can’t verify it using existing data, we might ask for additional information (like a government-issued ID), which will only be used to confirm your identity and prevent fraud.
Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Montana, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Nebraska, Oregon, and Texas may authorize someone else to submit a request on their behalf. In this case:
You must give written, signed permission to the agent.
We may ask you to verify your identity directly with us.
We’ll respond to your request within 45 days of receipt. For complex or extended requests, we may take up to 90 days, but we’ll notify you if more time is needed.
If we deny your request, you have the right to appeal the decision. We’ll provide instructions on how to appeal, and you’ll receive a written decision within 60 days (or 45 in Colorado). If your appeal is denied, we’ll direct you to your state attorney general’s office to file a complaint.
You have the right to be treated fairly, even when asserting your privacy rights. We will never:
Deny you products or services
Charge different prices
Offer different quality or benefits
Imply any consequences for exercising your rights
We and our advertising partners may collect personal information like cookies, IP addresses, and mobile device identifiers to display personalized ads to you on our website and others.
This may be considered a “sale” or “share” of personal information under certain state laws.
To opt out, click the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” button. Please note:
This stops future sales/sharing, but may not delete or stop the use of previously collected data.
We may still share data with partners acting as service providers to help us measure ad effectiveness, prevent fraud, and improve your experience.
You will need to opt out on each browser, device, or app you use to ensure your preferences apply across platforms.
We collect various types of personal data depending on how you interact with our platform. Here’s a summary:

If you are located in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area (EEA), you may be entitled to exercise specific rights under applicable data protection laws such as the UK GDPR or EU GDPR.

3. Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten)
You can ask us to delete your personal data. However, in certain situations, we may need to retain some data to comply with legal obligations or for other lawful purposes.

This section applies to individuals whose personal information is protected under Brazil’s General Data Protection Law, known as the LGPD. It explains when the LGPD applies and how you can exercise your rights under this important privacy regulation.
This section of our Privacy Policy applies if:
We collect your personal data within Brazil
We carry out data processing in Brazil
Our activities involve processing the personal data of individuals located in Brazil
We offer or provide goods or services to people in Brazil
If you’re a resident of Brazil or your data falls under the scope of the LGPD, you may have specific rights regarding how your personal information is collected, used, and stored.
Under Brazil’s LGPD, and subject to certain conditions and limitations, you may be entitled to exercise the following rights:
Right to Access – You can request information about whether we process your personal data and access the specific data we hold.
Right to Correction – You may request that we correct inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete information.
Right to Deletion – You can ask us to delete personal data processed with your consent, unless another legal basis allows us to retain it.
Right to Portability – You may request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format and ask us to transfer it to another provider.

To submit a request under the LGPD, please contact us using the details provided in Section 18 of this Privacy Policy. In your message, please clearly indicate that you are making a data rights request under the LGPD, and specify which right(s) you wish to exercise.
We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. This helps protect your privacy and ensures your data is handled securely and appropriately.
At trendsturds.com, we only keep your personal information for as long as it’s genuinely needed — based on the reason it was collected in the first place. The length of time we retain data can vary depending on:
The type of information involved
The purpose it was collected for
The legal basis under which we processed it
Any applicable legal, regulatory, or operational retention requirements
For example, if you ask us to delete your account, we may still retain certain data to meet obligations like fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or financial recordkeeping.
We also balance deletion requests with our need to preserve data for editorial and journalistic purposes — which may include original content and public comments on our platform.
If you ask us to delete your personal data, we’re able to anonymize your public comments instead. This means:
Your email address and display name will be removed
Your account will no longer be publicly linked to your comments
While your comments may remain on the platform, they will no longer identify you as the author.
We retain these anonymized comments in case of future legal or editorial needs — such as responding to libel or defamation claims related to user-submitted content.
At trendsturds.com, we’re committed to protecting the privacy of younger audiences. Our website, apps, and related services are not intended for use by children under the age of 16.
We do not knowingly collect, use, or process personal information from individuals under 16 years of age. Additionally, we do not create advertising segments or engage in behavioral targeting that is intended specifically for children under 16.
You must be at least 16 years old to consent to the use of cookies and tracking technologies for personalized advertising through our Privacy Settings. If you’re under 16, please do not share personal information with us or use our services without permission from a parent or guardian.
If you’re a parent or legal guardian and believe your child under 16 has used our services or shared personal data without your consent, please contact us using the details in Section 18. Upon verification, we will promptly remove or stop processing the child’s information as appropriate.
We may retain a limited record for a reasonable period to help ensure we do not unintentionally contact the child again, in line with industry best practices for privacy protection.
Your personal information is stored on secure servers maintained either by trendsturds.com or our trusted service providers. Access to this data is restricted to authorized personnel only—including team members, contractors, and partners—who need the information to perform their responsibilities in line with this Privacy Policy.
We take data security seriously and apply a range of physical, technical, and organizational safeguards to help protect your information and maintain the integrity of our systems. These safeguards are designed to ensure the confidentiality, availability, and resilience of the data we handle.
Encryption and pseudonymization of personal data when appropriate
Regular backups and recovery measures to maintain data availability in case of system failure or security events
Ongoing monitoring and testing to assess the effectiveness of our security systems and protocols
While we strive to protect your personal information using industry-standard practices, no system is 100% secure. Data transmitted over the internet can never be guaranteed to be fully safe, and we cannot promise that our security measures will prevent all unauthorized access or data breaches.
We encourage you to take precautions when sharing information online, and to reach out to us if you have any concerns about the security of your data on our platform.
If you have any questions, feedback, or concerns about this Privacy Policy — or if you’d like to exercise your rights under laws such as the UK GDPR, EU GDPR, U.S. State Privacy Laws, or other applicable regulations — we’d love to hear from you.
You can reach us at:
📧 contact@trendsturds.com
We’ll do our best to respond promptly and assist you in a clear, respectful, and timely manner.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons.
When we make changes, we’ll post the revised version on this page and update the “Effective Date” at the top of the policy. We encourage you to review this page regularly to stay informed about how we’re protecting your information.
By continuing to use our website, apps, or services after any changes take effect (or by taking another action we specify at that time), you are agreeing to the updated terms.
That said, we will never use your personal data in a way that is materially different from what was outlined at the time it was collected—without your explicit consent.

At Trendsturds, we believe in supporting education, commentary, and freedom of expression. Some content on our site may fall under the doctrine of “fair use” as allowed under U.S. Copyright Law (17 U.S.C. § 107).
Fair use allows for limited use of copyrighted material without permission, particularly in cases such as:
Criticism and Commentary
News Reporting
Teaching and Research
Transformative Use (e.g., parody, analysis, review)

The purpose and character of the use (commercial vs. educational).
