Our Standard of Care

Data privacy is treated with the same intentionality as our craftsmanship and advisory work. This policy outlines how your information is handled – simply, transparently, and without compromise. By using this platform, you agree to these practices.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect what is necessary to serve you. This happens in two ways:

Voluntary Disclosure: Information you provide when filling out a contact form, engaging in advisory discussions, or purchasing from the shop (Name, Email, Phone, Shipping/Billing details).
Technical Context: Standard, non-identifying technical data (IP address, browser type, and pages visited) is collected to monitor the health and performance of the site.

2. How Your Data is Utilized

Your information is used strictly for its intended purpose:

Advisory: To facilitate communication, understand project context, and manage engagements.
Shop: To process transactions, fulfill orders, and provide updates on shipping.
Stray to Stay: To manage direct conversations and shared stories.

We do not engage in unsolicited marketing, data selling, or automated spam.

3. Tracking Partners & Cookie Disclosure

To maintain functional integrity and optimize your experience, this website utilizes specific digital tracking tools. By using this platform, you acknowledge the processing of your data by the following partners:

Google Site Kit & GA4 (Google Analytics): We use these tools to analyze traffic patterns and site performance. Google processes non-identifying data to help us understand user behavior.
