Welcome to the MS Sucks store, where we care about your privacy almost as much as we care about giving MS the middle finger. Here’s the deal: we only collect the info we need to get our products into your hands and won’t do anything shady with it. We’re too busy fighting our own battles to play Big Brother.
Information We Collect
We’re not nosy, but here’s what we need from you to make this whole process work:
Personal Information: Your name, shipping address, billing address, and email. It’s not so we can stalk you; it’s so we can get your journal to the right place.
Payment Details: Relax, we don’t see your credit card info. Stripe handles that securely because they’re the pros, and we trust them more than ourselves with money.
Order History: What you bought, when you bought it, and why we think you’ve got great taste.
Cookies and Analytics: Small bits of code that help us improve your shopping experience. No, not the edible kind—sadly.
How We Use Your Information
Your info is used for one thing: making sure your MS Sucks journal gets from us to you, preferably in one piece. Specifically:
To process and ship your orders because teleportation isn’t a thing yet.
To send you order updates or customer support replies.
To maybe (just maybe) send you an email about a new product or sale. But honestly, we’re too disorganized to do this often, so you’re probably safe.
Payment Processing
All payments are handled by Stripe, which is fancy talk for “they do all the hard stuff so we don’t have to.” Your credit card info stays with Stripe. We don’t see it, want it, or know how to handle it even if we did. If you’re curious about how Stripe does their thing, check out their Privacy Policy.
Sharing Your Info
We hate sharing, so we only pass your info along when it’s absolutely necessary:
Shipping Providers: To deliver your stuff. Obviously.
Payment Processors: Stripe needs it to take your money, and they’re pretty good at it.
Legal Authorities: If some lawyer comes knocking. We’re not going to jail for you, sorry.
Otherwise, your data stays with us, safe and sound like a squirrel with a nut stash.
Cookies and Tracking
Cookies are little digital crumbs that help us keep the site running smoothly and figure out what’s working. You can turn them off in your browser if you’re not into that, but it might make the site less awesome. Your call.
Data Retention
We keep your data as long as we need it to ship your stuff and satisfy the tax people. If you want your info deleted, let us know, and we’ll make it disappear faster than your energy after folding laundry.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you might have some fancy legal rights like:
Accessing, updating, or deleting your info.
Opting out of our (rare) emails.
Complaining to some authority figure if you think we’re screwing up your privacy.
Honestly, we’re reasonable people—just ask, and we’ll probably sort it out without involving the authorities.
Contact Us
Got questions, complaints, or random existential musings? Use our contact form. We’ll get back to you as soon as we’re done wrestling with our immune systems.
Updates to This Policy
Like your MS symptoms, this policy could change unexpectedly. If it does, we’ll post the updates here. Don’t expect a formal announcement; we’re not that organized.
