Your privacy matters to us. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it. We keep this simple because we’re a small family business — not a data company.
What Information We Collect
When you place an order, we collect:
- Your name and email address
- Shipping and billing address
- Payment information (processed securely through our payment provider — we never see or store your full card number)
- Your order details
When you sign up for our email list, we collect:
- Your email address
When you visit our website, basic technical information may be collected automatically, including:
- Your browser type and device
- Pages you visit and time spent
- Referring website
This technical data is collected through standard website tools (such as WordPress and any analytics plugins we use) and does not personally identify you.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Process and fulfill your orders
- Send order confirmations and shipping updates
- Respond to your questions or support requests
- Send occasional emails about new products, restocks, or offers (only if you’ve opted in — you can unsubscribe anytime)
We do not sell your personal information. Ever.
Email Communications
If you join our email list, you’ll hear from us occasionally about new batches, offers, and updates. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. We don’t send spam.
If you place an order, you may receive transactional emails related to that order (confirmation, shipping). These are not marketing emails and are necessary to complete your purchase.
Sharing Your Information
We only share your information with third parties when necessary to operate our business:
- Payment processors (such as Stripe or PayPal) to handle your payment securely
- Shipping carriers (such as USPS or UPS) to deliver your order
- Email marketing platforms to manage our email list
- Website hosting and platform providers (WordPress/WooCommerce)
These providers have their own privacy policies and are contractually required to protect your data.
We do not share, sell, or rent your personal information to any other third parties for marketing purposes.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to help the site function properly, remember your cart, and understand how visitors use the site.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site (like the shopping cart) may not work properly without them.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information. Our website uses SSL encryption (the padlock you see in your browser), and payment processing is handled by PCI-compliant providers.
No method of data transmission is 100% secure. While we do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information
- Ask us to delete your information (subject to legal or operational requirements)
- Unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time
To make any of these requests, contact us through our Contact page.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
