The data question is one buyers under-ask in this category, and it deserves a straight answer. Here is the complete picture: what we collect, what goes where, and what never happens.
What we collect
- Order data: name, shipping address, email, and the order itself (products, quantities, timestamps). This is the minimum set that fulfills, tracks and supports an order — nothing more is required from you.
- Payment data: handled by our encrypted payment processor. We do not see or store full card numbers; the processor handles card data under PCI standards. This is the standard architecture, and a seller that asks you to email a card number is not a seller you are buying from.
- Account data (if you create one): optional. An account adds order history and faster checkout at My Account; guest checkout works without it.
- Device & usage basics: the standard web-analytics set (pages viewed, approximate location from IP, device type) used to improve the site — covered in the privacy policy.
What is shared, with whom, and why
- Payment processor: what is needed to authorize the transaction. Nothing else.
- Shipping carriers: name and address, to deliver the order. Nothing else.
- The law, when the law requires it: legitimate legal process gets legitimate responses. That is not a data practice; it is a legal obligation, and it applies to every business on the internet.
What never happens
Your data is never sold. It is not packaged, brokered or traded to third parties for marketing, and “data sharing” in the loose sense that some platforms practice is not something this store does with your order information. If a partner or tool ever needs to touch order data in the future, the data-sharing opt-out page documents the mechanism and your control over it — and the default position is no sharing.
Your controls
- Guest checkout minimizes what you give at all.
- Account deletion: available on request via the contact page.
- Opt-outs and corrections: the opt-out page and the contact page respectively.
- The full legal text: the privacy policy, which this post summarizes in plain language.
The short version: we collect what fulfillment requires, we share it only with the processor and the carrier for the order, and we never sell it. The rest of the buying questions are in the FAQ, and the products are in the shop.
