What Data We Collect and Why
When You Browse the Site
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site. This collects anonymized data such as pages visited, time on site, device type, and approximate location. This data helps us improve our content.
We display ads through Google AdSense, which may use cookies to show you relevant advertising. For details on what cookies are placed and how to manage consent, see our Cookie Policy.
When You Leave a Comment
We collect the data shown in the comment form (name, email, website), plus your IP address and browser user agent string for spam detection. An anonymized hash of your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to display your profile picture. See Gravatar’s privacy policy.
You may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies so you don’t have to re-enter them next time.
When You Make a Purchase
Our shop is powered by WooCommerce. When you place an order, we collect the information needed to fulfill it: name, email, shipping address, and payment details. Orders are fulfilled by Printful, our print-on-demand partner. Your shipping information is shared with Printful solely for order fulfillment.
Payment processing is handled by the payment gateway you choose at checkout. We do not store your full payment details on our servers.
When You Subscribe to Our Newsletter
If you sign up for our newsletter, we store your email address to send you updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in each email. We do not share your email with third parties.
