Privacy Policy

Byte Size Treasure is a small business and I want to make sure you feel safe, secure, and confident while you’re using my website/shop. I value my user’s privacy and this privacy policy will help you understand how I collect, use, and protect any personal information from You and what I do and do not do with the information collected.

Cookies

When you visit my shop, cookies are collected from your device, but sadly they’re not the tasty kind. These cookies are text-based files that tell me about the web pages and/or products that you view, how you’ve found the site (via Google search, social media), and if you’ve been here before.

Details from these cookies are also collected by Google Analytics and these details show me how many people are on my website at a time and their length of visit. Though I can view general information about my viewers, like their time zone or country of origin, neither Google or I can view any of the personal information about You or your computer from these cookies. Find out more information about cookies.

Newsletter

I use Omnisend to contact viewers and send them periodic updates and news. Users sign up on their own and I will never sign You up to my newsletter without your consent. And I certainly will never share, trade, or sell your details to any other business for them to contact you.

Sign ups to the newsletter does mean entering your email address, but no other information is required. You can unsubscribe from my email newsletters at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email that goes out. If you experience an issue with unsubscribing, please contact me.

Omnisend does collect some data about how many times a newsletter is sent, has been opened, and if any links are clicked on; this information is used to help me monitor and improve my newsletter. Read more about Omnisend’s privacy policy.

Contact Form

When you use my contact form, you’ll be asked to provide your name and an email address. This information is sent to my email so I can answer any question you may have for me. Though my email has a custom domain, it is provided by Gmail which is secure to protect any information you send to me.

Any details you include in the contact form (name, email, etc) is only used to respond to your questions or concerns. This information is not saved and not used for any other purpose.

Placing an Order

When you purchase from my shop, there are some details collected from you in order to fulfill and ship your order. Your information is not used for any purpose other than fulfilling your order or contacting you about your order. Information collected includes:
- Your Name
- Your mailing address
- Your email address
- Your payment information

My website/shop is hosted by Shopify, which is specifically designed for a secure online shopping experience. If you choose to pay with a credit card, Shopify has access to some of those details to process payments, but this information is encrypted and transmitted in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for the lock icon in the address bar of your browser. You can read more about Shopify’s policies.

I use USPS as a mail carrier and in order to ship your order to you, your name and address is printed on the front. USPS is given no other information about You. I also use a third-party fulfillment company, Printful, for some products found in my shop (these products are labeled as such). The only personal information this company collects from your order is your name and your shipping address for shipping out orders that they fulfill. Printful does not have access to your payment information.

I take great precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via this website, your information is protected both online and offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (fulfilling your order) are granted access to any personal information.

Other Important Information

My website/shop is not directed to, and does not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from, children under the age of thirteen (13). Anyone under the age of 13 must seek and obtain parent or guardian permission to use this site and make any purchase.

Byte Size Treasure’s operations are located primarily in the USA. If you provide information to BST, the information will be transferred out of the European Union (EU) and sent to the United States.
