4. Who We Share Information With
We share information only with service providers that help us operate the business, and only the data they need:
- Stripe, Inc. — payment processing. stripe.com/privacy
- Mailchimp (Intuit) — email newsletter and marketing emails. mailchimp.com/legal/privacy

- Netlify (or other hosting provider) — Site hosting and server logs.
- Tally.so — intake forms (business info, file uploads).
- Airtable — internal CRM where order and intake data is stored.
- USPS — Every Door Direct Mail postage and routing. We share aggregate carrier-route data; we do not share your business data with USPS.

- Legal & safety — we may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect our rights or the safety of others.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not rent, trade, or share advertiser email addresses with other advertisers or third parties for their own marketing.
5. Cookies & Tracking
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies for three purposes:
- Strictly necessary — to remember form inputs, maintain session state, and run the picker/checkout flow.
- Analytics — to understand which pages are visited and which products are viewed (Google Analytics).
- Advertising — to measure conversions on Meta and Google ads, if/when those campaigns are running.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings. If you disable strictly-necessary cookies, parts of the Site (the picker, checkout) may not function correctly. You can also opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
6. Data Retention
We keep your information for as long as needed to provide the Services and as required by law. Specifically:
- Order & intake records: retained for the duration of our relationship plus seven (7) years to satisfy tax, audit, and dispute-resolution obligations.
- Email newsletter: retained until you unsubscribe; we keep a record of your unsubscribe to honor it going forward.
- Published web articles: retained on the Site permanently to preserve the editorial value of the article and the SEO equity it earns; see Section 8.3 of our Terms.
- Site analytics: retained per Google Analytics defaults (currently 14 months) unless we configure otherwise.
- Payment data: handled and retained by Stripe under their own retention policy. We retain only the limited transaction record (order ID, last 4 of card, status).
7. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you;
- Correct inaccurate information;
- Delete your information, subject to our legal obligation to retain certain records (see Section 6);

For California residents: this Site does not honor “Do Not Track” signals, but we do not sell your personal information as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
8. Security
We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including HTTPS, payment processing through PCI-compliant Stripe, access controls on Airtable, and limiting employee access to information on a need-to-know basis. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; if we ever experience a breach affecting your information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.
9. International Users
The Services are operated from the United States and intended for residents of the United States, primarily New Jersey. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States.
