01What we collect
Better Birdies does not sell products and never takes payment, so there is no order, address or card data to collect in the first place. What we do collect:
- Email address — only if you sign up for the Pin Sheet, our email list, or create an account.
- Contact form messages — the name, email and message you choose to send us, so we can reply.
- Affiliate clicks — when you click a “Buy on Amazon” link, Amazon may set its own cookie to credit us a commission if you buy. That is set by Amazon, not us, and costs you nothing.
02How we use it
- To answer your support messages (a real person reads them).
- To send the Pin Sheet — one email a week, only if you opted in, with a working unsubscribe link in every send.
- To forward Pin Sheet signups to our email service so we can send the newsletter you asked for.
03What we share — and what we don't
We share the minimum needed to run the site, with two service providers that process data only on our behalf: Cloudflare hosts the site and the database that stores accounts and newsletter signups, and Resend delivers our emails (account verification, password resets, contact replies and the Pin Sheet). There is no payment processor and no fulfilment partner in the picture, because we sell nothing. We do not run advertising pixels. We count page visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and does not track you across sites.
We don't sell your personal data. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone.
04Cookies & pixels
This site uses no advertising pixels. Visit counts come from Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and no cross-site tracking. If you create an account, a single sign-in cookie keeps you logged in. When you click a “Buy on Amazon” link, Amazon sets its own affiliate cookie to credit us for a qualifying purchase; that is governed by Amazon's privacy policy, not ours, and costs you nothing. You can block or clear cookies in your browser settings at any time.
05Email
The Pin Sheet goes out on Sundays, only to people who signed up. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe that works immediately. No daily blasts, no fake countdown timers — that's a brand promise, not just a privacy one.
06How long we keep it
We hold no order or payment records at all — nothing is sold here. Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe; account details until you delete your account. Contact-form messages are kept only as long as they're useful for answering you, then deleted.
07Your rights
If you have an account, you can do both yourself on the account page: Download my data gives you a copy of everything we hold, and Delete account erases your account and newsletter record immediately. You can also request a copy, a correction, or deletion — any time, no reason required. Email [email protected] and we'll handle it within 30 days.
08California & New Jersey residents
If you live in California (CCPA, as amended by the CPRA) or New Jersey (New Jersey Data Privacy Act), you have the right to know what personal data we collect and how we use it, to get a copy of it, to correct it, to delete it, and to opt out of its sale, of targeted advertising, and of profiling. We do not sell or share personal data for cross-context behavioural advertising and do not profile you, so there is nothing to opt out of — but you can still exercise any of these rights by emailing [email protected] or using the account page. We will not treat you differently for exercising them. If we decline a request, you can appeal by replying to our answer, and we will respond within the time the law allows.
09Kids
This shop isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has given us personal information, email us and we'll delete it.
10Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle your data, we'll update this page and the date at the top. Material changes get a heads-up in the Pin Sheet.
