This website is made on WordPress, we process our payments through Woocommerce using Stripe and Paypal. We do not save billing information, we do have to have your name and address in order to ship you your products, but there is no need on our ends to amass a database of contact information, we’re just too small for that to be a concern.
The Privacy Policies of Woocommerce (powered by automatic), Stripe, and Paypal are worth reviewing if you’d like to know more details about how your financial and personal data is handled during purchases.

What we collect and store
While you visit our site, we’ll track:
- Products you’ve viewed: we’ll use this to, for example, show you products you’ve recently viewed
- Location, IP address and browser type: we’ll use this for purposes like estimating taxes and shipping
- Shipping address: we’ll ask you to enter this so we can, for instance, estimate shipping before you place an order, and send you the order!
We’ll also use cookies to keep track of cart contents while you’re browsing our site.
When you purchase from us, we’ll ask you to provide information including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, credit card/payment details and optional account information like username and password. We’ll use this information for purposes, such as, to:

We generally store information about you for as long as we need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it, and we are not legally required to continue to keep it. For example, we will store order information for 6 years for tax and accounting purposes. This includes your name, email address and billing and shipping addresses.
