This Privacy Policy explains how Salty C's Treasures (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website (the “Site”).

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide

• Contact enquiries: your name, email address, and the text of your message.
• Custom order requests: your name, email address, phone number if you give one, project details, and any photographs you choose to upload.
• Orders and checkout: the information needed to fulfil your purchase, including your name, email address, phone number, and shipping address. This is collected by our payment provider during checkout and passed to us so we can send your order.

Information collected automatically

• Basic technical data such as device type, browser type, IP address, and approximate location may be logged by our hosting and security providers for performance and security.
• We use a single essential cookie to remember what is in your shopping cart as you move between pages. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics on this Site.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Respond to enquiries and provide customer support
• Process orders and fulfil purchases, including shipping
• Prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
• Maintain and improve the Site
• Comply with legal obligations

3. Payment Processing

Payments are handled by Square, a third-party payment processor. Card details are entered on Square's own secure checkout page. We never see or store your full card number or security code. Square handles your payment information under its own privacy policy.

4. Email Communications

We may send emails related to your orders or enquiries, such as confirmations, receipts, and replies. We do not send marketing emails unless you have asked to receive them.

5. Photograph Uploads

If you upload a photograph with a custom order request, we store it so we can understand and fulfil your request. Please do not upload sensitive personal information.

We share information only as needed to run the Site and fulfil your order, such as with:

• Service providers, including our web host, payment processor, and email delivery
• Shipping carriers, where required to deliver your order
• Legal authorities, where required by law or to protect rights and safety

Google. We list our products with Google so they can appear in Google Search and the Google Shopping tab. What we send is product information only — names, descriptions, photographs, prices, and whether an item is still available. No customer or visitor information is shared with Google for this.

We do not sell your personal information.

7. Data Retention

We keep information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including record-keeping, resolving disputes, and legal compliance.

8. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information. However, no online service can guarantee absolute security.
