We respect your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using our website, products, or community spaces, you agree to this policy.
Quick summary
We collect what we need to process orders, run our site, email you (if you opt in), improve the experience, and support our community.
We don’t sell your personal information. We may use advertising/analytics tools that count as “sharing” or “targeted advertising” under some state laws—your opt-out options are below.
You can access, correct, or delete your data, and opt out of marketing at any time.

We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required.
