Privacy Policy

Last updated: TBD — insert publish date

This Privacy Policy describes how Cutburth Creations ("we," "us," or "our"), operated by Cutburth Creations (trading name of sole proprietorship / DBA “Nerdy Woodworker” (Nerdywoodworker.com)), collects, uses, and shares personal information when you use cutburthcreations.com (the "Site"), create an account, place an order, request custom work, or contact us.

Contact for privacy requests: hello@cutburthcreations.com. Phone: 913.378.7191.

We do not sell personal information.

1. Who is the controller

For personal information collected through the Site and order/custom-work processes, the controller is Cutburth Creations (trading name of sole proprietorship / DBA “Nerdy Woodworker” (Nerdywoodworker.com)). Privacy requests may be sent to hello@cutburthcreations.com and will be handled by our team on behalf of the business.

2. Personal information we collect

Consistent with our live policy, we collect account and order information to fulfill purchases and custom work requests. Categories may include:

• Identity & contact: name, email address, phone number (if provided), shipping and billing addresses.
• Account data: login identifiers and account preferences if you create an account.
• Order & custom-work data: items purchased, custom specifications, quotes, correspondence related to commissions, order history.
• Payment metadata via Stripe: payment status, last4/brand or similar tokenized indicators, and other transaction metadata Stripe provides. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.
• Communications: emails and messages you send us (order questions, privacy requests, support).
• Technical data: IP address, device/browser type, approximate location derived from IP, and cookies or similar technologies if used by the Site or analytics tools we enable. [Confirm exact analytics/cookie stack before publish.]

We do not knowingly collect more sensitive categories beyond what is needed to run an online store and custom-work studio unless you voluntarily provide it in custom-work communications.

3. How we use personal information

We use personal information to:

• Process and fulfill orders and custom commissions;
• Process payments via Stripe;
• Send order confirmations, shipping updates, and custom-work quotes;
• Provide customer support and handle returns/privacy requests;
• Maintain accounts and improve Site reliability and security;
• Comply with law, prevent fraud, and enforce our Terms;
• Send marketing or newsletter emails only if you opt in or as otherwise permitted by law — you may unsubscribe via the link in those emails or by contacting us. [Confirm whether a marketing list is active before publish; if none, remove or mark "not currently used."]

4. Payments (Stripe)

Card payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers on our servers. Stripe acts as an independent payment processor; its use of payment data is governed by Stripe's terms and privacy policy. We receive payment confirmation and limited payment metadata needed for accounting, fulfillment, and customer support.

5. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share personal information with:

• Service providers who help us operate the business (e.g., Stripe for payments; email delivery; hosting/storefront platforms; shipping carriers for labels and delivery);
• Professional advisors (e.g., accounting, legal) under confidentiality obligations when needed;
• Authorities when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security;
• A successor entity in connection with a merger, sale, or reorganization, subject to this Policy's commitments where required.

We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising as a "sale" or "share" under California law to the extent those concepts apply — [confirm ad/analytics stack before publish; update if third-party advertising pixels are added].

6. Retention

We retain account and order information as long as needed to fulfill orders, provide support, meet legal/tax/accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Custom-work correspondence and quotes may be kept for the life of the customer relationship and for a reasonable period afterward for records. You may request deletion of account data as described below; we may retain certain records when law requires or when deletion would impair legitimate business needs (e.g., completed order invoices).

7. Your rights & requests

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of certain personal information, or to opt out of certain processing. Consistent with our live policy, you can request deletion of your account data by contacting us.

To make a privacy request, email hello@cutburthcreations.com with enough detail for us to verify and respond (e.g., email used on the order/account). We will respond within a reasonable period and as required by applicable law.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority where you live or work, if applicable.

8. Cookies & similar technologies

The Site may use essential cookies needed for checkout, accounts, and security, and may use analytics cookies if enabled. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect Site functionality. See our Cookie Notice for details. [Add cookie banner / preference details if/when implemented.]

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to our size and the nature of the data we handle. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; please use unique passwords for any account and contact us if you suspect unauthorized access.

10. Children

The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or the higher age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact hello@cutburthcreations.com and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

11. International visitors

We operate from the United States. If you access the Site from outside the US, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States, where laws may differ from those in your country.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date will change when we post a revised version. Material changes may also be communicated by email when appropriate.
