At Prairie Paper, we care about your privacy. This policy explains in simple terms what information we collect when you visit our website, leave a comment, or make a purchase, and how we use that information.

1. Information We Collect

A. When You Browse Our Store

• Location and Device Info: We collect your IP address, browser type, and general location to estimate shipping costs and applicable taxes.
• Store Activity: We track products you have recently viewed to make browsing easier, and use cookies to keep track of your shopping cart contents while you shop.

B. When You Place an Order

When you buy from us, we ask for:

• Name
• Billing and shipping address
• Email address and phone number
• Payment details

We use this information to process your order, deliver your items, send order confirmations and updates, calculate taxes, process any returns or refunds, and prevent fraudulent transactions.

C. When You Create an Account

If you register an account, we store your name, address, email, and phone number to automatically fill in the checkout form for future orders. You can view, edit, or delete your personal details at any time in your account settings (except your username).

D. Comments, Reviews & Media

• Comments: When you leave a comment or review, we collect the text you write, your IP address, and your browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
• Gravatar: An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you use it. You can review their privacy policy at automattic.com/privacy. Once approved, your profile picture is visible alongside your comment.
• Media Uploads: If you upload images to the site, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors could potentially download and extract that location data.

2. Cookies & Local Storage

We use cookies to ensure our website and store work smoothly:

• Shopping Cart: Keeps track of the items in your cart while you browse.
• Login & Account: If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie checks if your browser accepts cookies. When you log in, cookies save your login session and screen display choices (lasting between 2 days and 2 weeks if you select “Remember Me”).
• Comments: If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies so you don’t have to re-enter them next time (lasts 1 year).

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some store features (like the cart or account login) may not function properly without them.

3. Third-Party Services We Use

We never sell your personal information. We only share the minimum necessary information with trusted third parties to run our store and fulfill your orders:

• Payment Processors (Square & Others): Payments are processed securely through third-party payment gateways, primarily Square (or other payment processors we may use, such as PayPal). When you check out, the information required to process the payment (order total, card details, billing address) is sent directly to the processor. We do not store your credit card numbers on our servers.
• Shipping Carriers: We share your name, shipping address, and contact details with shipping carriers (such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, or Canada Post) to deliver your purchases.
• Spam & Site Protection: Comments and forms may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

4. Embedded Content From Other Sites

Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, maps, images). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited the other website directly. These sites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, or track your interaction with that content.

5. How Long We Keep Your Data

• Order Records: We keep transaction and order records (including your name, email, and billing/shipping addresses) for tax, accounting, and legal record-keeping purposes (typically up to 7 years).
• Comments & Reviews: Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
• Customer Accounts: Account information is retained for as long as your account remains active.

6. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account with us or have left comments/reviews, you can contact us at any time to:

• Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct any inaccurate information.
• Request that we erase your personal data (excluding data we are legally required to keep for administrative, tax, or security reasons).
