What we collect
What you give us directly:
- Newsletter signups: your email address
- Contact form: your name, email, and message
- Purchases: payment and shipping details (processed by Stripe)
What the site records on its own:
- Visit counts: for each page view, the page's path, the website you came from (not the page) and the time, counted by our own script. No cookie, no IP address, no name. See Our own visit counts.
- Site analytics: Microsoft Clarity. See Site analytics.
How we use it
- To send newsletters you've subscribed to
- To respond to your messages
- To fulfill product orders
- To see which pages are read and how people find them
What we don't do
- We don't sell your data
- We don't share your information with advertisers
Our own visit counts
This site keeps its own visit counts: which pages are opened and where visitors came from (the website, not the page). A small script of our own on this domain sends those counts to our own server. It stores no cookie, no IP address and nothing you type, and the counts are not shared with anyone.
Third-party services
- Cloudflare: hosting and CDN — may collect anonymized analytics
- Stripe: payment processing — governed by Stripe's privacy policy
- Google Fonts: typography — may log requests
- Microsoft (Clarity): site analytics — see Site analytics below
Site analytics (Microsoft Clarity)
We use Microsoft Clarity to see how visitors use the site: pages viewed, clicks, scrolling and mouse movement, shown to us as heatmaps and replays of visits, plus device and browser type. Replays keep typed text hidden: what you type into forms, and the search results our site search shows back to you, are hidden before they leave your browser. Clarity does not run on the search page or our site admin pages, and it is switched off entirely when your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal.
Clarity sets two cookies on this site: _clck, kept for up to a year, and _clsk, which lasts one visit. Microsoft may also set its own cookies on its own domain, and it receives your internet address, which it uses to estimate your location. If your device is set to a time zone outside the Americas, Clarity runs without cookies. We tell Clarity not to share this data with Microsoft Advertising. Microsoft acts as an independent company under its own privacy statement and may use the data for its own purposes, which its terms say can include advertising.
Replays are kept for 30 days; heatmaps and a sample of replays are kept for up to 9 months. Clarity data is not tied to your name, so we cannot find and delete one person's Clarity data on its own; it expires on that schedule. You can opt out of Microsoft's collection through the Digital Advertising Alliance (choose Microsoft), or block cookies or scripts from clarity.ms in your browser or with a content blocker. The site works the same without it.
Cookies
Besides essential cookies, the only cookies on this site are Microsoft Clarity's analytics cookies, described under Site analytics. No advertising cookies.
Your rights
You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us. Newsletter subscribers can unsubscribe from any email.
Changes
We may update this policy as our services evolve. Material changes will be noted here with an updated date.
