Privacy is a fundamental right, essential to both humans and the natural world. Just as solitary animals like hedgehogs, minks, and tigers cherish their privacy, Shades Collective (hereinafter referred to as \u201cwe,\u201d \u201cour,\u201d or \u201cus\u201d) deeply respects the privacy of the personal information we gather from visitors (hereinafter referred to as \u201cyou,\u201d \u201cyour,\u201d or \u201cuser\u201d) to www.shadescollective.com and our other websites, forms, materials, apps, and resources (collectively referred to as the “Resources”).
