First, the Simple Version

Any data that is posted publicly is, well, public. Anyone will be able to see it. So, please don’t post any personal information on anything like post comments or product reviews.

Any data that is sent using the contact form on the contact page will be used only to reply to you in regards to the issue of which you are inquiring.

All customer communication, whether submitted through the Shut Up and Cuff Me Facebook Page or using the email address provided during checkout, is retained for business purposes.

Any data that is sent during a transaction is kept private and is only used to fulfill your order. All sales information (order total, items ordered, customer name and location) is also retained for tax purposes. I do not retain any payment information, as all of that is handled securely through either Paypal or Stripe (depending on your selected method of payment.

The only information I get from paypal is your name, location for shipment, and the email address associated with your paypal account. I will not receive any information from paypal regarding your payment information, credit card information, banking information, etc… For more information about how paypal handles this information, see Paypal’s privacy policy here: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

The only credit card information I will get from Stripe is the last 4 digits of your card number (the same thing that is printed on all receipts from purchases made in physical stores), your card’s expiration date, the card type, and the country of origin. I do not receive any other financial information from Stripe. For more information about how Stripe handles your personal information, see their privacy policy here: https://stripe.com/us/privacy

I will not use email addresses submitted for any of the above reasons for advertising purposes. Email addresses submitted via the contact form, comments or reviews, or provided when making purchases are not added to any mailing lists.

To my knowledge, the plug-ins used on this site do not store or track any user data. If a plug-in relies on a third party for any part of it’s functionality (IE: Facebook, Twitter, etc…), those sites may or may not be tracking or storing user data. If you use any part of this site that requires a third party to function, please see the privacy policy of those companies for more information, at the time this is being written, the only plug-ins this applies to are the share to social media buttons).

 

Below is the (mostly) standard, more detailed version of the privacy policy.

Who we share your data with

Any data that is posted publicly on this site (user comments, reviews, etc.) is shared with anyone who visits this web-site and views the page the content was posted on. Please refrain from leaving any personal information in comments or reviews.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
