Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how davis9001 ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our service. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and, if you use OAuth authentication, basic profile information from your OAuth provider (such as your name and profile picture).

Email List

If you sign up for email under an article, we keep your email address, the name you give (if any), the page you signed up on, and when. Every email we send has a link to leave the list. We keep a record that you left so that we do not email you again.

Orders, Payments and Messages

When you buy from the shop, pay for site work, or send the contact form, we keep what you gave us to do that. We group these records by email address, so that we can see what one person has ordered and asked us, and help you when you get in touch. Only the site owner can see this view.

To make and send a shop order, your name, shipping address, email and phone number (if you gave one) go to Printful, who print it and ship it. Payments are taken by Stripe: your card number goes to Stripe and never reaches this site. The site owner is told about each order in a private Discord message.

Where You Are

Prices are set for the country you are in. Cloudflare, which serves this site, tells it the country your connection comes from, and that is used to price the page you are looking at. Pricing does not keep it: the only time a country is stored is when you sign in, with that sign-in, as part of the technical information below. In the shop, a country you pick is kept in a cookie, and at checkout the country on your shipping address decides.

Usage Information

We collect information about how you use the Service, including pages visited, features used, and interactions with the chat interface.

Chat Data

When you use the AI chat feature, we store your conversation history to provide context for future interactions and improve your experience.

Technical Information

We automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, the country it comes from, browser type, and device information, for security and analytics purposes. When you sign in, these are kept with that sign-in.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Service
• Authenticate users and secure accounts
• Process and respond to your chat interactions
• Send important notifications about the Service
• Detect and prevent fraud or abuse
• Analyze usage patterns to improve user experience

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using Cloudflare's infrastructure, including Cloudflare D1 for database storage. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

• AI Providers: Chat messages may be sent to AI service providers (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Cloudflare Workers AI) to generate responses
• OAuth Providers: Authentication data is exchanged with OAuth providers during login
• Stripe: Takes payments; sees what you buy and the card you pay with
• Printful: Prints and ships shop orders; receives the name, shipping address, email and phone number on the order
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain your session and preferences. These are essential for the Service to function properly.

We use:

• Session cookies: To keep you logged in during your visit
• Preference cookies: To remember your settings (such as theme preference)
• Country cookie: The country you pick in the shop, so its prices stay in your currency

We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

• Access: Request a copy of your personal data
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data
• Export: Request a portable copy of your data
• Objection: Object to certain processing of your data

To exercise these rights, email [email protected] or use the account management features in your profile settings.

Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You can delete your account at any time through your profile settings. Upon account deletion, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required by law.

Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
