This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our site, submit forms, or make purchases. Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site or provide any personal information.

a purchase, subscribe to a newsletter, or contact us. The categories of information we collect include:

Contact Data: Email address and telephone number.
Age Verification Data: Date of birth / Birthday. We explicitly collect this information to comply with
children's online privacy protection laws and restrict users under the legal age.

processors collect your credit/debit card numbers, billing addresses, and linked financial details.

We use the collected information for specific, legitimate business operations, including:
Processing your transactions, fulfilling orders, and sending order confirmations.
Communicating with you via email or telephone regarding your account, customer service inquiries, or

3. Children's Privacy Compliance (COPPA & Age Restrictions)
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important to us. For this reason, we collect birthdate
information through our intake forms to actively verify user age.
Age Limitation: Our services and products are strictly intended for individuals who are at least 18 years of age.
No Intentional Collection: We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or maintain personal information from
children under the age of 13.
Remediation: If we discover via form submission or date-of-birth input that a user is under the age of 13
(or under the applicable legal age limit in your jurisdiction), we will immediately block the transaction and
delete all associated personal data from our systems. If you believe we might have accidentally collected
information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at samjkilburn@gmail.com
4. Financial Data & Secure Payment Processing
