What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Most data is collected specifically when you purchase something from the website or submit a form on the website. However, the site does use some cookies (e.g. Google Analytics, MailPoet) in order to better understand how the website is being used and to improve the website or provide additional services. The data collected in each of these cases is described below.

Payment Processor

All financial data is routed through a payment processor to ensure that your data is kept secure. We use Stripe and Paypal on this site, so you can rest easy knowing that an industry-standard payment processor is securing your financial data, and that this website uses SSL to create secure connections.

Forms

This site uses Dubsado to provide you with the opportunity to contact us, schedule custom work, or purchase various services. To use any of these forms, you must provide specific personal information (e.g. e-mail, name), and this data is stored with Dubsado and Gmail.

Embedded content from other websites

Content on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

Cookies

We use “cookies” on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a visitor’s hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies.

Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics, Plerdy, and Keyword Hero in order to track information about how the site is being found and used. This lets us know some technical information like which browser and operating system was used and whether the site was viewed on a mobile phone, a tablet, or on a computer so that we can improve your future experience. It also lets us know where traffic is coming from (e.g. via a social media link or by direct search) and how users may interact with specific pages so that we can improve less popular pages and provide more content similar to popular pages. This data is kept indefinitely. (Note: We do not currently collect information for retargeting or advertising purposes.) We also use MailPoet cookies.

This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes, and if you do request we erase personal data, some services may no longer work (e.g. download access to purchased products).
