Privacy Policy

At Alden Belted Shop, we approach your privacy with the same thoughtful consideration we apply to crafting our petite-proportioned collections. Just as we design each piece to protect and flatter your form, we’ve implemented comprehensive measures to safeguard your personal information. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data with the precision and care characteristic of our Savannah-based boutique.
