Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 5, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Frank August, LLLP ("Frank August," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you visit frankaugust.com (the "Site") or interact with our marketing communications. This Policy applies to the Frank August public-facing website only. Purchases initiated on the Site are processed by our independent ecommerce partner, Flaviar Checkout, which has its own separate privacy policy that governs information collected during checkout.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide directly
- Contact details such as name and email address when you sign up for our newsletter, SMS list, or contact us.
- Mobile phone number if you opt in to receive SMS messages from us.
- Age confirmation when you enter the Site (we do not retain individual age verification data beyond session use).
- Any information you choose to share when you contact us, comment, or otherwise interact with the Site or our social channels.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain information about your device and use of the Site, including:
- IP address and approximate location;
- Browser type, operating system, and device identifiers;
- Pages visited, time on site, referring URL, and clickstream data;
- Cookies, pixels, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies (see "Cookies and tracking" below).
Information from third parties
We may receive information about you from third parties such as social media platforms, consistent with their privacy policies and your settings on those platforms. If we begin working with advertising networks or analytics providers in the future, we will update this Policy.
2. How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site;
- Send you marketing emails and, if you opt in, SMS messages about Frank August products, releases, and events;
- Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support;
- Measure and analyze Site traffic, performance, and engagement;
- Personalize your experience;
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use;
- Protect the security and integrity of the Site and prevent fraud or abuse.
3. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration. We may share information in the following circumstances:
- Service providers: Vendors who help us operate the Site, send marketing communications, run analytics, and host data. These providers are contractually limited in how they may use your information.
- Flaviar Checkout: When you click a "Buy" button on the Site, you are routed to Flaviar Checkout, which collects and processes information necessary to complete your transaction under its own privacy policy.
- Advertising and analytics partners: We may, in the future, work with advertising and analytics partners (such as Meta, Google, or TikTok) for purposes such as conversion measurement, retargeting, and audience building. Some of these activities may qualify as "sharing" or "selling" under certain state privacy laws (see "Your privacy rights" below). We will update this Policy if and when such activities begin.
- Legal and safety reasons: Where we believe disclosure is required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Frank August, our customers, or others.
- Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
4. Cookies and tracking technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies (such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage) to recognize your device, remember your preferences, analyze Site traffic, and improve your experience. Cookies fall into the following general categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the Site to function properly. These cannot be disabled.
- Functional cookies: Remember your preferences and settings to improve your experience.
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site so we can improve it.
- Advertising cookies: Used to deliver relevant content and measure campaign performance. Frank August is not currently using advertising cookies, but this Policy will be updated if that changes.
Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit the Site, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences by category. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the consent widget icon in the corner of the Site, which reopens the cookie preferences panel.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings (most browsers let you block or delete cookies). Note that disabling certain cookies may affect Site functionality.
Our cookie consent is managed through Pandectes, a third-party consent management platform that records your preferences and ensures non-essential cookies are not loaded until you provide consent.
Do Not Track signals
Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is no consistent industry standard for how to respond to these signals, the Site does not currently respond to them. You can manage your preferences using the cookie consent banner described above.
5. Email and SMS marketing
If you opt in to our email or SMS list, we will send you marketing messages about Frank August. You can unsubscribe from emails by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any message. You can opt out of SMS by replying STOP to any text message you receive from us. Standard message and data rates may apply to SMS.
