Our Guard
Emmanuel Noir Privacy Policy
Emmanuel Noir Global Luxury Media · Last Updated: June 2026
At Emmanuel Noir we take your privacy as seriously as we take our curation. This policy explains clearly and honestly how we collect, use and protect your personal information. We have written it in plain language because we believe you deserve to understand exactly how your information is handled — without legal jargon designed to confuse rather than inform.
1. Who We Are
Emmanuel Noir is a global luxury media brand operating at emmanuelnoir.com. We publish luxury lifestyle content, premium digital guides and curated recommendations covering watches, fashion, travel, technology, classic cars and rare whisky for a worldwide audience. We are based globally and serve readers across every continent. For all privacy related enquiries you are welcome to contact us directly at contact@emmanuelnoir.com. We respond to every message personally and within 48 hours.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways — what you share with us directly and what our website records automatically when you visit.
- Information you share with us directly:
- Your name and email address when you subscribe to The Emmanuel Noir Newsletter
- Your name, email address and message when you use our contact form
- Your payment details when purchasing from our Digital Collection — these are processed securely through Selar and are never stored by Emmanuel Noir directly
- Information collected automatically when you visit:
- The pages you visit and the time you spend on each one
- Your general location by country — never your precise address
- The device and browser you are using
- How you arrived at our website — whether through Google, social media or a direct link
We collect only what is genuinely necessary. We never collect more than we need and we never will.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information exclusively for the following purposes and nothing else:
- Sending our weekly newsletter to subscribers who have voluntarily opted in
- Responding personally to contact form enquiries
- Processing and delivering Digital Collection purchases promptly
- Understanding which content our audience values most so we can serve you better
- Improving the overall experience of visiting emmanuelnoir.com
- Complying with legal obligations where required by law
We want to be completely clear about one thing — we never sell your personal information to third parties. We never share your information with advertisers. We never use your data to target you with advertising on other platforms. Your information belongs to you and that is how it stays.
4. Cookies
Emmanuel Noir uses cookies to enhance your experience on our website. A cookie is a small file placed on your device that helps us understand how our site is being used. We use four types of cookies on emmanuelnoir.com.
Essential cookies keep our website functioning correctly and cannot be switched off. Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors engage with our content through Google Analytics — all data collected is anonymous. Affiliate cookies track referrals to our partner brands when you click a link and make a purchase. Preference cookies remember your settings so your experience feels consistent each time you visit.
You can disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of our website function during your visit.
5. Affiliate Links & Partnerships
Emmanuel Noir participates in affiliate marketing programs with a carefully selected group of luxury brands and platforms. When you click an affiliate link on our website and choose to make a purchase, we may receive a commission. This comes at absolutely no extra cost to you — the price you pay is identical whether you use our link or visit the brand directly.
Our current affiliate partners include Amazon Associates, Chrono24, Farfetch, Booking.com, TravelPayouts, ClassicCars.com, The Whisky Exchange and brands within the ShareASale and Awin networks. Each of these partners operates under their own privacy policy which governs how they handle any data collected through their platforms.
We want to be completely transparent — affiliate relationships never influence what we recommend or how we write about a product. If something does not meet our standard it does not appear on Emmanuel Noir regardless of any commercial relationship. Our editorial integrity is not for sale at any price.
6. Third Party Services
To operate Emmanuel Noir professionally we work with a small number of trusted third party services. Google Analytics helps us understand how our content is performing. Mailchimp delivers our weekly newsletter securely to subscribers. Selar processes and delivers all Digital Collection purchases. WordPress powers our website platform and Elementor handles our website design.
Each of these services operates under their own privacy policy. We encourage you to review their policies directly if you wish to understand how they handle data. We choose our service partners carefully and only work with established and reputable platforms.
7. Your Rights
Regardless of where you are located in the world you have the following rights regarding your personal information held by Emmanuel Noir. You have the right to access a copy of the information we hold about you. You have the right to request correction of any information that is inaccurate or incomplete. You have the right to request deletion of your personal information from our records. You have the right to unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link included in every email we send. You have the right to object to how we process your information at any point.
To exercise any of these rights simply contact us at contact@emmanuelnoir.com. We will respond personally within 30 days and handle every request with the same care and attention we give to everything else at Emmanuel Noir.
8. Data Security
Emmanuel Noir takes the security of your personal information seriously. We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure. Our website operates on secure HTTPS encryption and all payment processing is handled entirely by Selar — we never store or have access to your payment card details at any point.
We want to be honest with you — no system connected to the internet can guarantee absolute security. However we do everything within our power to keep your information safe and we take any potential security concern extremely seriously.
9. Children's Privacy
Emmanuel Noir is a luxury media brand intended exclusively for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you have reason to believe that a minor has provided us with personal information please contact us immediately at contact@emmanuelnoir.com. We will investigate promptly and delete any such information without delay.
10. The Emmanuel Noir Newsletter
When you subscribe to The Emmanuel Noir Newsletter you are voluntarily providing your email address in exchange for our weekly luxury curation. We use this email address solely to deliver our newsletter and occasional important updates about Emmanuel Noir. We send one newsletter per week — no more. We do not use your email address for any other purpose and we never share it with third parties.
Unsubscribing is simple and immediate. Every newsletter we send includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. You can also email us directly at contact@emmanuelnoir.com and we will remove you from our list immediately. We never make unsubscribing difficult because we believe you should always be in complete control of your inbox.
11. Changes To This Privacy Policy
Emmanuel Noir may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate or to comply with evolving legal requirements. When significant changes are made we will update the date shown at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so you always know how your information is being handled.
Your continued use of emmanuelnoir.com following any changes to this policy constitutes your acknowledgement of those changes. If you disagree with any update to our policy you are always welcome to contact us to discuss your concerns directly.
