If you submit photographs of antiques, jewelry, collectibles, estates, or other property, those photographs may be reviewed and retained as reasonably necessary to evaluate your inquiry or communicate with you.
Submitting photographs or information does not obligate Leffler’s Antiques to purchase, appraise, or inspect an item.
Email and Newsletter Communications
If you subscribe to receive news, new-arrival notices, or other marketing communications, we may use your contact information for those purposes.
Our website may use a third-party email marketing provider to manage newsletter subscriptions and communications. Information submitted through such services may be processed according to that provider’s privacy practices.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by following the unsubscribe instructions included in those communications.
We may still send non-marketing communications when necessary regarding transactions, inquiries, or other business relationships.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website and service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website usage, improve performance, provide security, and support website functionality.
Cookies are small data files stored on your device or browser.
You can configure your browser to refuse or delete cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of portions of the website.
Analytics and Website Services
We may use third-party technologies to understand website traffic and performance, protect the website, host content, display maps, process forms, or provide other functionality.
These providers may collect information according to their own privacy policies and technologies.
Third-Party Websites and Marketplaces
Our website contains links to third-party websites and online marketplaces where Leffler’s Antiques may list or sell merchandise.
When you follow a link to another website, information you provide to that website is governed by that third party’s privacy policy and terms.
Leffler’s Antiques is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of independently operated third-party websites.
Payment Information
Purchases may be processed through third-party payment processors, marketplaces, financial institutions, or other payment service providers.
When payment information is entered directly into a third-party payment system, that information is subject to the privacy and security practices of the applicable payment provider.
Leffler’s Antiques does not intentionally collect or store complete payment-card information through ordinary website contact forms.

Service providers may receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform services on our behalf or facilitate a transaction.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, email system, Internet transmission, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You should exercise caution when transmitting personal or sensitive information electronically.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, maintain business and transaction records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, comply with legal requirements, and protect our legitimate business interests.

Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If we learn that such information has been collected inadvertently, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Do Not Track
Some web browsers provide a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is not a universally accepted standard governing how websites should respond to these signals, our website may not respond to all Do Not Track signals.
You can use browser privacy controls and cookie settings to manage certain forms of tracking.
