Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2025

Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices. We keep it straightforward — no legalese.

1. What We Collect

We collect only what we need to run this site and serve you well:

Email addresses — when you sign up for our newsletter or free guide via the signup form on our site.
Purchase information — when you buy a guide, Stripe processes your payment and shares basic transaction details with us (such as what was purchased and the associated email address). We do not store your payment card details — ever. Card data is handled entirely by Stripe.
Basic analytics — we collect anonymous page-view data (no names, no tracking across other sites) to understand how visitors use the site and improve it.

2. How We Use Your Information

To deliver your digital guides and confirm purchases.
To send you our newsletter, new guide announcements, and foraging tips (only if you signed up for them).
To improve the site and understand what content is most useful.
To respond to your questions and support requests.

3. We Do Not Sell Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. Full stop.

4. Third-Party Services

Stripe — All payment processing is handled by Stripe. When you make a purchase, you are interacting with Stripe's secure checkout. We never see or store your card number, CVV, or billing address. Stripe's own privacy policy governs how they handle your payment data.

5. Your Choices

You are always in control of your data:

Unsubscribe from emails — Click the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or email us at sporeandscout@launchyard.app and we'll remove you immediately.
Request deletion — Email sporeandscout@launchyard.app to request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. We'll confirm within a reasonable time.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information. All data is transmitted over HTTPS. We do not store payment card details.

7. Changes to This Policy

If we update this policy in a meaningful way, we'll note the new date at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
