Privacy policy

I vow never, ever, ever to sell or share your personal information. I'm pretty big on my privacy, and I wholly respect the privacy of others.

We do work with third party hosting sites, and they deal with the bulk of your personal information. The most sensitive parts, like your credit card number, I will never even see.
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the opportunity to do business and sell our products directly to our community! They handle all the data storage and have huge teams that are dedicated to protecting your information.
Whether you use the direct payment method through Shopify or if you choose to use PayPal to process your transaction, they have their own policies and terms of service agreements you enter into when utilizing their applications. If you're curious about the money processing part of things (or super into reading legalese), I suggest you read their individual statements. Once you leave our store's website and are on one of these third party applications, you are really under their jurisdiction.
