privacy policy

At Masked in Silence (“we”, “us”, “our”, or simply the “Site”), we believe your privacy deserves protection—not just by law, but by principle. This Privacy Policy explains how we gather, use, and disclose your personal information when you explore our Site, connect with us, or place an order through maskedinsilenceapparel@gmail.com or any other channel tied to our offerings (collectively, the “Services”). Whether you’re browsing, shopping, or reaching out to us, “you” refers to anyone whose personal data may be collected or used in accordance with this policy.

Please read this Policy closely. By engaging with any part of our Services, you acknowledge and agree to how your information may be handled. If you don’t agree with what’s outlined here, we kindly ask that you refrain from using our Site or Services.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

The world moves, and so must we. This policy may be updated occasionally to reflect evolving practices, legal requirements, or operational needs. Any changes will be published here along with an updated “Last Revised” date. We’ll make sure you’re aware of any material changes as required by law.

    Third-Party Links

    Some parts of the Site may lead you to platforms we don’t control. If you leave our space and enter another, their policies will apply—not ours. Always review third-party privacy and security terms before interacting with them.

    Security and Retention
