By using our services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, as well as data automatically generated when you navigate our site.

Information You Provide Directly:

  • Identity & Contact Data: Name, email address, shipping address, billing address, and phone number when you purchase an item, subscribe to our newsletter, or book a consultation.

  • Divination & Astrology Input Data: Birth date, birth time, and birth location provided voluntarily by you strictly for the creation of your custom astrological mappings or chart reports.

2. How We Use Your Information

We process your personal information based on legitimate business interests, the fulfillment of a contract with you, compliance with our legal obligations, and/or your explicit consent. We use your data to:

  • Fulfill, pack, and ship your physical orders (such as art cards, relics, and oyster shell dishes).

  • Generate and deliver your custom astrological reports and digital products.

  • Send you our email dispatches, lunar drop schedules, and shop updates (only if you have explicitly opted in). You may opt out at any absolute time via the unsubscribe link.

  • Monitor, protect, and optimize the technical performance and security of our storefront.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, trade, or lease your personal information to third parties. We only share data with trusted, essential service providers who perform operations vital to our business, including:

  • Website & Hosting Infrastructure: Squarespace

  • Payment Processors: Stripe, PayPal, or Apple Pay (we do not store or see your raw credit card numbers).

  • Shipping & Fulfillment Services: USPS, UPS, or shipping software used to generate postage labels.

  • Email Marketing Infrastructure: Squarespace Email Campaigns or standard newsletter delivery services.

  • Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or government regulation.

4. International Data Transfers (For EEA and UK Visitors)

The Salt-Stained Find operates within the United States. If you are visiting our archive from the European Union, European Economic Area (EEA), or the United Kingdom, please note that your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States. We utilize approved standard contractual clauses and secure data processing agreements with our hosts (such as Squarespace) to safeguard this data transfer.

5. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your geographical coordinates (including the EU/EEA, United Kingdom, and US states such as California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and others), you possess specific legal rights regarding your personal data:

  • The Right to Access / Know: You have the right to request a copy of the specific personal data we hold about you.

  • The Right to Rectification / Correction: You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information.

  • The Right to Erasure / "To Be Forgotten": You have the right to request that we delete your personal data, subject to certain legal exceptions (such as data we must retain for tax or tax auditing purposes).

  • The Right to Opt-Out of Data Sharing/Targeted Advertising: We do not track or sell your data for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can signal your preferences via Global Privacy Control (GPC) settings on your browser.

  • The Right to Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against you, alter our pricing, or deny you services for exercising any of your privacy rights.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us directly at [Insert Your Business Email Address]. We will respond to your request within the legally mandated timeframe (typically 30 to 45 days).

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy—such as completing your order, rendering your astrological mapping, or satisfying legal, accounting, and reporting tax requirements. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal data, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

7. Security of Your Data

We implement commercially acceptable security measures and rely on Squarespace’s secure, SSL-encrypted platform architecture to protect your personal data. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security against malicious actors.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our archive and services are intended strictly for individuals who are at least 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain applicable jurisdictions). If we learn that we have inadvertently collected data from a child, we will permanently purge it from our systems immediately.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect shifting currents in our practices or changes to global legal frameworks. Any updates will be logged on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date at the absolute top.
