Privacy Policy

Effective March 2026

What We Collect

When you make a purchase, we collect your email address to process payment through Stripe and to deliver your design. We do not store your email address in a database. A copy of your order confirmation is retained for customer support and proof of purchase.

Payment is processed entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your credit card information.

When you browse the site, our web server automatically collects standard access log data: your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This data is used to maintain site security and diagnose technical issues.

When you search for a name, we store the search term to help us decide which new designs to create. Search records do not contain any personal information — only the term searched.

When you visit pages, we record which pages are viewed and general browsing patterns to improve the site. These records contain no personal identifiers.

Cookies

The site uses two small cookies to understand how visitors navigate:

• Session cookie (_sid): An anonymous identifier that links your page views during a single visit. Contains no personal information. Expires after 30 minutes of inactivity or 2 hours, whichever comes first. Cannot be read by JavaScript or other websites.
• Return visit cookie (_rv): An anonymous identifier that tells us you've visited before, so we can understand how returning visitors use the site over time. Contains no personal information — just a random code that links your visits. Expires after 30 days. Cannot be read by JavaScript or other websites.

Neither cookie contains your name, email, or any personal details. Neither is shared with third parties. Both are encrypted and cannot be tampered with.

During checkout, Stripe sets two additional cookies: __stripe_mid (device identification for fraud prevention, 1-year expiration) and __stripe_sid (session identification, 30-minute expiration).

No advertising or tracking cookies are used.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information. Payment and email data is handled by Stripe under their privacy policy at stripe.com/privacy.

Data Retention

• Order records: Retained for customer support, refunds, and tax purposes.
• Server access logs: Retained for site security and product improvement. IP addresses in these logs are not linked to individual identities.
• Search and browsing data: Retained indefinitely for product improvement. These records contain no personal information.
