Privacy Policy

Who We Are

The Vinyl Tavern is an online vinyl record shop based in the Nashville, Tennessee area. We sell used and new vinyl records at vinyltavern.com. Questions about this policy can be sent to [email protected].

Information We Collect

When you place an order we collect the information necessary to fulfill it:

• Name, email address, shipping address
• Payment information (processed securely by our payment provider — we never store card numbers)
• Order history and communication related to your purchases

If you contact us directly by email we retain that correspondence.

We collect basic site analytics (pages visited, browser type, general location) to understand how the store is being used. This data is aggregated and not tied to individual identities.

How We Use Your Information

• To process and ship your order
• To send order confirmation and tracking information
• To respond to inquiries and customer service requests
• To improve the store and our inventory

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

Third Parties

Running an online shop requires a few trusted third-party services. Your information may be shared with them only as necessary to fulfill your order:

• USPS — your name and shipping address to deliver your order
• Payment processors — to handle transactions securely. We use industry-standard PCI-compliant providers
• WooCommerce / WordPress — the platform this store runs on

These parties are only given the information they need to perform their specific service and are not authorized to use it for any other purpose.

Cookies

This site uses cookies to keep your shopping cart working, remember your login session if you have an account, and understand basic site traffic. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the store (like the cart) may not function correctly without them.

Data Retention

We retain order records for as long as necessary for business, tax, and legal purposes. If you'd like your personal data removed from our records, contact us at [email protected] and we'll respond within a reasonable timeframe.

Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information. Our site runs over HTTPS, and payment data is handled entirely by our payment processor — we never see or store your full card details.

Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this policy we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
