Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2025
What We Collect
When you make a purchase, join a waitlist, or contact us, we collect information you provide: name, email address, shipping address, and any message content.
We also collect basic analytics about how visitors use the site — page views, referrer source, and general device type — to understand what's working and improve the experience. This data is anonymized (we hash IP addresses and never store them in raw form).
How We Use It
- To process and ship your orders
- To send order confirmation and shipping updates
- To notify waitlist members when a collection launches
- To respond to contact form messages
- To understand site usage and improve the store
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with third parties except as necessary to process payments (Stripe) or ship orders.
Payment Processing
All payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers or payment details on our servers. Stripe's privacy policy governs how your payment data is handled — see stripe.com/privacy.
Cookies & Tracking
We use a small number of functional cookies — for example, to keep your cart intact between visits. We do not use advertising cookies, behavioral tracking pixels, or third-party retargeting scripts.
Email Communications
If you join a waitlist or sign up for updates, we'll email you when there's relevant news about that collection. You can unsubscribe at any time by replying to any email or contacting us directly.
Data Retention
We retain order records as required for tax and accounting purposes. Analytics data older than 90 days is automatically deleted. You can request deletion of your personal data at any time by emailing wendy@thefound-ry.com.
