Draft, pending owner review

Information needed to run the store
Blacksmith Publishing is an independent print-book publisher in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The legal entity and postal address responsible for your information must be confirmed before this policy is approved. [OWNER TO CONFIRM]
We collect the name, email, delivery address, ordered items and payment reference needed to process a purchase and answer support requests. Shopify and its payment providers process payment details; our storefront does not store full payment card numbers or security codes. [OWNER TO CONFIRM]
Accounts store sign-in details and purchase history. Contact messages contain the information you choose to send. Please do not include card details, passwords or sensitive personal information. [OWNER TO CONFIRM]
How information is used and shared
We use order information to fulfill purchases, handle refunds, prevent fraud and keep accounting records. We use support correspondence to answer your request. A support request does not subscribe you to marketing. [OWNER TO CONFIRM]
Shopify processes checkout and shipping information. Hosting, database and email providers process information needed to operate the store. Confirm the current provider list, contracts and retention periods before approval. Information may also be disclosed when legally required. [OWNER TO CONFIRM]
Marketing requires a separate opt-in. Blacksmith Publishing and the American Agoge Project have separate communication preferences. We do not sell customer information. [OWNER TO CONFIRM]
Cookies, security and retention
The storefront uses browser storage for your cart and cookies for sign-in. Hosted checkout uses Shopify’s cookies. Confirm any analytics or advertising tools and required consent controls before enabling them. [OWNER TO CONFIRM]
We restrict operational access and use encrypted connections. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Confirm incident response contacts and how long order, account, support and security records are kept; records needed for tax or legal obligations may need to be retained after an account is closed. [OWNER TO CONFIRM]
Your choices and requests
Use our Contact page to ask for access, correction, export or deletion of your information, or to withdraw marketing consent. We may need to verify identity before releasing or changing records. Your rights and any exceptions depend on applicable law. [OWNER TO CONFIRM]
This store is intended for adult purchasers. Contact us if a child has submitted personal information or if you have a privacy concern. Confirm the applicable age policy and response procedure. [OWNER TO CONFIRM]
We will update this page when practices change and show the revision date. Confirm whether significant changes require direct notice. [OWNER TO CONFIRM]
