Privacy Policy
We are passionate about making the internet a kinder place, and we understand that this starts with us. We take your privacy seriously, and will NEVER do anything dodgy with your data.
Your contact info
When you sign up for our mailing list, we collect and store your name and email address. You can unsubscribe at any time by using the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of any of our emails.
We use Woocommerce and Stripe on our website shop. When you purchase an item through our shop, we collect the following information about you:
- What products you ordered and when
- Your name, e-mail address, and phone number
- Your billing (and optionally: shipping) address
- A note about the payment method you used
Any card details are securely collected and stored (if you choose to store your details) by Stripe, not on our website, and we do not have access to this information at any time. Stripe is a well-known and trusted payment gateway, and meet the strict security measures necessary for payment processing.
If you purchase a poster, we will share your name & address with our printers so you can receive your order.
We will never sell your information to third parties.
