Your payment information is encrypted and handled by Squarespace’s certified payment processors.

4. Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies—small data files stored on your device—to enhance your browsing experience and analyze site traffic.

You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent, though some parts of the website may not function properly without them.

Squarespace also collects basic analytics (like traffic and visitor data) to help us understand how people use our site.

5. Email Communications

If you sign up for emails, newsletters, or updates, you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any email or contacting us directly through the website.

We keep your information only as long as necessary to:

  • Comply with applicable legal obligations.

Once it’s no longer needed, your information is securely deleted or anonymized.

7. Protecting Your Information

We use reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse.

While no online system is 100% secure, we take your privacy seriously and use trusted third-party services (like Squarespace) to help protect your data.

If you live in a state with privacy regulations, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to or deletion of your personal information
