Privacy Policy
Last Updated: July 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you visit our website. By using our services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Data Collection via Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to better understand how visitors interact with our website. This service uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about your use of the website and report on activities and trends.
Granular Location and Device Data
Our settings are configured to collect granular location and device metadata. This includes:
- City-level location (derived from IP addresses, though IP addresses are masked/anonymized in GA4).
- Device details such as model, browser type, and operating system.
This data allows us to understand our audience distribution and optimize our website performance for different regions and devices.
2. Website Analytics via WordPress.com Stats
In addition to Google Analytics, we use WordPress.com Stats (provided by Automattic Inc. via the Jetpack plugin) to measure site traffic and usage trends. This service collects information such as:
- Pages visited, referring websites, and search terms used to reach our site.
- Your IP address, browser type, and operating system.
- General geographic location (country-level) and the date and time of your visit.
This information is collected and processed by Automattic on our behalf and is used in aggregate form to understand how visitors use our website. Automattic’s handling of this data is governed by its
Privacy Policy and
Cookie Policy.
3. Payment Processing via Authorize.net
When you use our Pay Online feature, payments are processed by Authorize.net, a Visa company and PCI DSS–compliant payment gateway. To complete a transaction, you may be asked to provide:
- Your name, billing address, email address, and phone number.
- Payment card information (card number, expiration date, and security code).
We do not store your full payment card details on our servers. Payment information is transmitted directly to Authorize.net over an encrypted (SSL/TLS) connection and is handled in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). We retain only limited transaction records (such as confirmation numbers, transaction amounts, and billing contact information) as needed for order fulfillment, accounting, and fraud prevention.
Authorize.net’s collection and use of your payment information is governed by its own
Privacy Statement.
4. Advertising and Personalization
We have enabled Advanced Settings for Ads Personalization. This means:
- We may export your Google Analytics data (such as key events and audience lists) to linked advertising accounts (e.g., Google Ads).
- This data is used to deliver relevant, personalized advertising experiences to you based on your interactions with our site.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website.
5. How to Control Your Data
We respect your privacy and provide the following ways to opt-out of data collection:
- Google Analytics Opt-out: You can prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Ad Settings: You can opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s My Ad Center.
- WordPress.com Stats: You can learn more about Automattic’s data practices and available opt-out options in the Automattic Cookie Policy.
- Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to manage or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Please note that payment information provided through the Pay Online feature is required to process your transaction and cannot be opted out of if you wish to pay online. You may
contact us to arrange an alternative payment method.
6. Compliance and Acknowledgement
In accordance with Google’s terms, we acknowledge that we have the necessary privacy disclosures and rights from our end users for the collection and processing of this data, including the association of such data with the visitation information Google Analytics collects from our site.
