Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 2, 2026
Who operates Fashion Hotbox
Fashion Hotbox at https://fashionhotbox.com is operated by EJWC, LLC, a Florida limited liability company operating from California. In this policy, we, us and our refer to EJWC, LLC in connection with Fashion Hotbox. For privacy questions or requests, email [email protected].
Information you provide
When you email us or use a partnership form, we receive the information you provide, such as your name, email address, brand or publication, inquiry type and message. We use it to respond, discuss a potential project and maintain relevant correspondence. Please avoid including sensitive personal information that is not needed for your request.
If you submit a comment where commenting is available, we may process your display name, email address, website address, comment and moderation information. Information you choose to publish in a comment can be visible to other readers. Comment systems and anti-spam services may also process technical information such as an IP address and browser information.
If you choose a subscription option where one is offered, we use your email address and subscription choices to provide the updates requested. Sending us a question does not subscribe you to marketing emails. We do not add Fashion Hotbox contacts to Fluff Alpaca mailing lists; a separate signup is needed for that business.
Information collected through site use
Our hosting, security and website services may receive technical information such as an IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, referring pages, timestamps and error or security logs. Depending on the technology and your choices, analytics may also process cookie or device identifiers and information about interactions with the site. Technical information can be personal information even when it does not include your name.
We use Google Analytics through Google Site Kit and Jetpack Stats to understand readership and site use. These services can receive technical information and information about pages and interactions. The cookies and browser choices section below explains the controls currently available to readers.
Cookies and browser choices
Cookies and similar technologies can support site functions, security, analytics and affiliate referrals. Some cookies last for a session and others remain until they expire or are removed. Which technologies are used depends on the page, third-party content and your interaction with the site.
Use Manage cookie preferences below, or the Update consent control on the site, to review or change optional cookie and tracking choices on this browser. Select Reject optional to turn off optional categories, including affiliate and marketing tools. Withdrawing a choice does not undo earlier processing. Essential site functions remain available.
We use Cookie Compliance by Hu-manity.co to display cookie choices, apply regional settings and record preferences. The service processes consent choices, timestamps, IP addresses and browser/device information for these purposes. See Cookie Compliance’s Privacy Policy for information about its processing.
Our consent tool is configured to honor Global Privacy Control signals. Cookie preferences on Fashion Hotbox do not control independent retailer or affiliate websites. You can also use browser settings to block or remove cookies and other storage; this may affect features and reset saved preferences.
Google provides a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on for supported browsers. It limits supported Google Analytics JavaScript from sharing visit activity with Google Analytics; it does not stop Jetpack Stats, hosting logs or every other service. Retailers and affiliate platforms may offer additional choices on their own websites.
For more detail, read our Cookie Policy & Preferences.
Browser Do Not Track signals
A browser Do Not Track signal does not currently trigger a sitewide opt-out of analytics and affiliate tracking on Fashion Hotbox. Individual third-party services may respond differently under their own policies. Do Not Track is distinct from Global Privacy Control and from cookie blocking in your browser. You can contact [email protected] with a privacy question or request.
Shopping links and third party content
Fashion Hotbox earns commissions through some shopping links. Our affiliate relationships include Amazon Associates, ShopMy, LTK, CJ, Rakuten and LinkShare, Pepperjam or Ascend by Partnerize, and Awin. When a relevant link, widget or service is used, the retailer or affiliate provider may process click or referral details, device information, identifiers and purchase-attribution information under its own privacy terms and the arrangements applicable to that service. We may receive reports about referral activity and commissions.
An ordinary outbound link and an embedded widget do not work the same way. Embedded shopping, video or social content may connect your browser to the provider while the content is displayed. An outbound shopping link may take you through an affiliate service before reaching a retailer. A provider may recognize a browser or connect information about visits and purchases across websites or over time, depending on its technology, settings and your choices.
The retailer handles purchases made on its website and its payment, delivery and returns processes. We do not receive your payment-card details simply because you follow an affiliate link. A third-party service may collect additional information if you visit it, sign in or make a purchase. Its privacy notice explains that processing.
Why we use information
We use information to operate and secure the site; respond to messages and partnership requests; publish and moderate comments; deliver subscriptions people request; understand readership; measure affiliate referrals and commissions; maintain appropriate business records; and meet legal obligations or resolve disputes. We do not rent or sell reader email lists. That statement does not characterize every transfer made by analytics or affiliate technology under every privacy law.
Services and other recipients
Information may be processed by providers that support these activities. Our current services include HostGator for hosting, Automattic services such as Jetpack and Akismet, Google Analytics and the affiliate services described above. We also use providers for business email and website administration. Providers may act as service providers or processors for some activities and as independent controllers for others, depending on the service and contract.
For more information about these providers, see Google’s Privacy Policy and the Automattic Privacy Notice. Their notices describe processing by their respective services and any provider-specific choices.
We do not provide reader contact details to brands for unrelated marketing. We may share information at your request or with your consent, where needed for a project you discuss with us, in response to a lawful legal obligation, to protect rights or security, or in connection with a genuine business transfer subject to applicable safeguards. Fashion Hotbox reader lists are kept separate from Fluff Alpaca reader lists.
European legal bases where applicable
Where EU or UK data-protection law applies, the relevant legal basis depends on the activity. Legitimate interests may support responding to messages, protecting the site, moderating comments and maintaining business records, balanced against individuals’ rights. Processing necessary to discuss or perform a contract you request can rely on that contractual basis. Legal recordkeeping can rely on compliance with legal obligations. Where we obtain consent for a particular activity, such as a requested subscription, you may withdraw it. This policy does not itself obtain consent for optional tracking.
How long information is kept
We retain correspondence for as long as reasonably needed to handle the conversation, manage a relevant business relationship, maintain necessary records or address legal requirements and disputes. Public comments may remain with the relevant article unless removed through moderation or a valid request. Subscription information is kept while needed to provide the requested subscription and handle subscription preferences or required records. Analytics and technical information follow the retention settings applied to the relevant service and necessary operational purposes. Backup copies may persist until the relevant backup cycle expires. We do not promise immediate erasure from all backups.
International processing
We operate from the United States, and information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our providers operate. Data-protection laws can differ between countries. Contact [email protected] for information about international processing and any transfer arrangements applicable to your information.
Your choices and requests
You can contact [email protected] to ask about information associated with you or request correction or deletion. Depending on the law that applies, you may also have rights of access, portability, restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent or other privacy choices. These rights can be subject to exceptions, including legal recordkeeping, security and the rights of others. We may need proportionate information to verify a request. We respond within applicable legal deadlines.
Where available, use the unsubscribe link or subscription controls to stop requested marketing updates. Withdrawal of consent does not change the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. If EU or UK law applies, you may complain to the relevant supervisory authority, including the authority where you live, work or believe an infringement occurred. You do not have to contact us before exercising a complaint right.
The cookies and browser choices section above explains the browser and provider controls currently available. A privacy policy explains practices; visiting the site does not waive your privacy rights or constitute agreement to every use of information.
Children and security
Fashion Hotbox is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information in circumstances that require action, contact [email protected] so we can review and address it. We take reasonable measures appropriate to the information and risks, but no website, transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Changes to this policy
We update this policy when our practices or legal obligations change. The effective date identifies the current version. Where required, we provide additional notice of a material change and seek any consent required for a new use. Contact us at [email protected] with questions.
