Your privacy is important to us
We do not share (or sell) your personal information with anyone – ever!
What information we collect & how we protect it
We personally value our privacy and assume you feel the same way. That’s why we ask for the minimum amount of personal information needed in order to serve you. And, we do not sell or share the information you provide with anyone – ever! Below is what we ask for, when, why and how we protect it.
Payment processing
All our website financial transactions are securely processed through Stripe and PayPal. We never have access to your credit card information, nor do we store any credit card information on our website.
Creating an account
When placing an order, we ask for your first and last name, email address, city, state, zip, and country (so we have a general sense of where our customers are located). We DO NOT ask for (or store) any additional personal information (such as your street address, phone number, birthday or credit card number).
No ads, affiliates or partners
Many beading websites either sell advertising or share personal information they collect about you with, or without, your knowledge to advertisers in order to earn passive income. We personally don’t like pop-up ads, and we definitely don’t like to share our personal information with strangers – and we assume you feel the same way. That’s why –
We DO NOT sell advertising on any of our websites. And, we do not share any information about you with anyone – ever!
So, instead of being paid by advertisers and data farmers, we charge for our beading patterns. We know it’s an old fashion business model – but we prefer it and hope you do too.
