Privacy Policy
Who We Are
We are not just a furniture store. While Ashley® is the most iconic segment of the Ashley brand today, the Ashley family of companies is much more than just a retail store. Ashley Furniture Industries, LLC is the largest manufacturer of furniture in the world with major manufacturing facilities in the United States and abroad. Ashley Furniture Industries supplies furniture to over 6,000 retail partners in 123 countries. Ashley Distribution Services, Ltd. delivers over 30 million pieces of that furniture annually with its gigantic fleet of trucks and trailers while also providing backhaul services to many other companies. Ashley Global Retail, LLC operates Ashley and Ashley Outlet retail furniture stores throughout the United States and www.ashley.com, the Ashley retail website.
Scope of this privacy policy
This is the privacy policy of Ashley Furniture Industries, LLC, Ashley Distribution Services, Ltd., Ashley Global Retail, LLC, and their respective affiliates (collectively referred to as “Ashley,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), and it describes how and why we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information within our Ashley and Ashley Outlet retail stores in the United States and on our websites and mobile services. Our privacy policy also describes the choices you can make about how we collect, use, and share your personal information. Personal information is information that directly or indirectly identifies, describes, relates to, is reasonable capable of being associated with, or can reasonably link to a particular consumer or household.
Please note that many Ashley retail locations are independently owned and operated and have their own privacy policies. Additionally, we maintain separate privacy policies for our international operations, and we may provide different notices of our information practices with respect to certain subsidiaries or affiliates, in which case this privacy policy will not apply.

Sale of Information
We do not sell personal information of our customers as the term “sell” is traditionally understood. However, certain data privacy laws broadly define “sell” to include sharing information for something of value. Under that broad definition, we have “sold” personal information to third parties for a business or commercial purpose in the preceding 12 months. For more information, see the table above.
What about Sensitive Personal Information?
We generally don’t want to gather any sensitive information about you. We would prefer that you never share with us any sensitive information, including your social security number, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion, health or genetic characteristics, trade union membership, or criminal background.
How Long Do You Retain Data?
It depends. We store your personal information for as long as needed, or permitted, based on the reason why we obtained it (consistent with applicable law).
Children
Our sites are intended for a general audience and are not directed at children under thirteen (13) years of age. We do not permit anyone who tells us they are under the age of 13 to register or open an account with us. Children under the age of 13 should always ask their parents or guardians for permission before providing any contact information to anyone online. We urge parents and guardians to participate in their children’s online activities and use parental controls.
Cookies and Other Trackers
We use cookies and similar tracker methods when you visit our sites. These include essential, preference, analytics, and marketing trackers. You can manage these trackers in your browser settings or by using the Global Privacy Control. To opt out of specific services, you can visit their respective websites or use tools like NAI Mobile Choices or AppChoices.
Security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to your data. Our servers are protected by firewalls and are physically located in secure data facilities. While no system is 100% safe, we believe our steps dramatically reduce the likelihood of security problems to an appropriate level.
You may receive email messages from us. If you no longer wish to receive these communications, let us know by following the opt out directions on any of the email messages you have received from us. Please note that for independently owned and operated Ashley retail furniture stores, you will need to contact them directly.
Notice Of Financial Incentives
We may offer various financial incentives (such as free shipping, discounts, and other special offers) to customers who provide personal information. The value of the personal information provided is reasonably related to the estimated value of the incentive. We reserve the right to withdraw or modify these incentives at any time.
