No personal information is required to use our website. None. Nada. Zero. You can visit us and remain completely anonymous.
On our website, we use only session cookies for website navigation, which expire once you leave the site (they help you navigate the website). We do not allow 3rd party advertising, and therefore do not allow 3rd party cookies on our website.

If you wish to purchase something from us, we use PayPal as our payment processor. Through our agreement with PayPal, if you purchase something from us, we will have access to your name, email, and physical address. That is all. PayPal remits to us your funds, and we only see PayPal as the depositor. We do not have access to any other financial information you may have on file with PayPal. The privacy policy for PayPal can be found here: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full
If you wish to purchase something from us at a live, face-to-face event, we will use a card reader from Square to accept payments. We will not share or store any of your financial information. Square will deposit your payment to our bank account. The privacy policy for Square can be found here: https://squareup.com/legal/privacy. Stripe is another payment processor https://support.stripe.com/topics/privacy.
There are two tools, which we use from Google, to help us with our website analytics. These help us understand customer traffic patterns but, importantly, cannot be linked to you personally (at least by us). Google gives us traffic information in the aggregate only (such as: how many people visited this page on our website, where people are from, devices they use to access our site and so on). Those two tools are Google Analytics and Google Search Console. The privacy policy for Google can be found here:

Social Media
Our website features social sharing buttons for the following social Media: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Twitter. These buttons help share web content directly from our web pages to these social Media Platforms. These companies do track your interests, and will use the profile they develop on you for their own purposes. Users should be mindful, that this could include giving 3rd parties access to your personal profile. Users should therefore use the social sharing buttons at their own discretion, and only to the degree that they are comfortable with the privacy policies for these platforms.

We promise to use the information only for the purpose for which it is collected, and any information we have can be expunged by you by using the contact form on our website, or emailing us at [email protected]. We do not share or sell our information with any other company. Ever. Period. We would resist any unlawful request for information, regardless of the source.
We will monitor for privacy threats to the information we may possess and will make you aware directly (if we have your email address), or through this privacy policy, should a data breach occur. This privacy policy was last posted and updated on (May 24, 2018) and will be considered current.
