Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how [SITE_NAME] ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares and protects information about you when you visit [DOMAIN] (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

When you use our contact form or email us, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, subject and message. We use it only to respond to you.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and the date and time of your visit.

2. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) to keep the Site working, remember your cookie preferences, and, only with your consent, understand how visitors use the Site. For full details, see our Cookie Policy. You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.

3. Analytics

With your consent, we may use analytics services (for example, Google Analytics) to collect aggregated information about how visitors find and use the Site. These services may use cookies and collect information such as your IP address (which we ask to be anonymized), device information and pages visited. Analytics scripts are not loaded unless you click "Accept" on our cookie banner.

4. Affiliate links and tracking cookies

[SITE_NAME] participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click an affiliate link and visit a retailer such as Amazon, that retailer may place cookies on your device to track the referral so we can earn a commission on qualifying purchases. These cookies are set by the retailer, not by us, and are governed by the retailer's own privacy policy. We do not receive your personal payment or order details. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more information.

5. Pinterest and other third-party services

The Site includes "Save" and share buttons for Pinterest, Facebook, X (Twitter) and email. These are simple links: no third-party social scripts are loaded until you click one. When you click, you are taken to that service, which may collect information about you under its own privacy policy. We may also verify our domain with Pinterest and use Pinterest Rich Pins, which read publicly available information from our pages.

Fonts are served by Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address when fonts are downloaded. Product images may be loaded from Amazon's servers.

6. Hosting

The Site is hosted by Netlify, Inc. Netlify processes technical data such as IP addresses and request logs to deliver the Site securely and protect against abuse. Messages sent through our contact form are processed and stored by Netlify Forms. For more information, see Netlify's privacy policy at netlify.com/privacy.

7. How we use information

• To operate, maintain and improve the Site and its content;
• To respond to your messages and requests;
• To understand which content is most helpful (with your consent);
• To detect, prevent and address spam, security issues and abuse;
• To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

8. How we share information

We share information only with service providers that help us run the Site (such as our hosting and analytics providers), when required by law, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or in connection with a merger, sale or transfer of the Site.

9. Data retention

We keep contact form messages only as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record-keeping, generally no longer than 24 months. Analytics data is retained according to the provider's settings, typically 14 months or less.

10. Your rights under GDPR (EEA, UK and Switzerland)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. Our legal bases for processing are your consent (analytics cookies), our legitimate interests (operating and securing the Site, responding to messages), and compliance with legal obligations. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

11. Your rights under CCPA/CPRA (California)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, use and disclose; to request deletion; to correct inaccurate information; to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information; to limit the use of sensitive personal information; and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We will verify your request before responding.

Residents of other U.S. states with comparable privacy laws (such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and Utah) may have similar rights, and we will honor those requests as required by law.

12. Children's privacy (COPPA)

The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

13. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, including HTTPS encryption, to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

14. International visitors

The Site is operated from the United States. If you visit from another country, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on the Site.
