We may use cookies to:

Maintain shopping-cart contents
Complete checkout
Analyze website performance

Product announcements
New collection information

If customer accounts are enabled, Squarespace may store information connected to your account, such as:

11. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.

We will respond within the period required by applicable law. Certain information may be retained when necessary to complete transactions, maintain records, prevent fraud, exercise legal rights, or comply with legal obligations.
Squarespace allows site owners to access much of their customers’ information and may assist with certain correction or deletion requests when information cannot be managed directly by the site owner.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
14. International Visitors
Rustic Nudge Studios is based in the United States.
If you access the website from another country, your personal information may be transferred to, processed in, and stored in the United States or other countries where Squarespace and our service providers operate.

Before actively marketing to customers in those regions, Rustic Nudge Studios should obtain legal guidance and ensure that its cookie consent, legal bases, international-transfer terms, and request procedures satisfy applicable requirements.
15. Children’s Privacy
This website is not directed toward children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Products may be purchased only by adults or with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.
If we learn that we collected personal information from a child under 13 without legally valid consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information may contact us at [angelafoy@comcast.net].
16. Third-Party Websites and Services
The website may contain links to third-party websites, social-media platforms, payment processors, or services.

Do not include personal information in a public review unless you are comfortable having it publicly displayed.
Contact us if you wish to request removal of submitted content. We may retain internal records where legally permitted or required.
19. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” settings. There is no single universally accepted standard governing how websites must respond to those signals.
Where legally required and technically supported, the website or its service providers may recognize browser-based opt-out mechanisms such as Global Privacy Control for applicable advertising or data-sharing activities.
At present, Rustic Nudge Studios does not intentionally sell personal information or use cross-site behavioral advertising unless expressly disclosed in this policy.
