Privacy Policy
We collect only the information needed to deliver resources, operate the website, and communicate with people who ask to hear from us.
Information we collect
This may include your email address, purchase and download history, newsletter consent, consultation booking details, and information submitted through the Open Shop early-access form. Our payment provider processes payment-card details; we do not store complete card numbers.
How we use information
We use information to fulfill purchases, provide secure downloads, send requested emails, respond to inquiries, prevent abuse, and understand how the business is performing.
Service providers
We use trusted providers for payments, email delivery, file storage, hosting, and consultation scheduling. They receive information only as needed to provide those services.
Cookies, analytics, and affiliate links
We use essential cookies to keep the website secure and remember a session. We may also use limited analytics to understand aggregate site use. When you select a clearly disclosed affiliate link, an affiliate network or merchant may use cookies, link identifiers, or similar technology to attribute a later purchase to Ice Cream Startup. Those third parties process information under their own privacy policies.
Data retention and security
We retain information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, including fulfillment, accounting, security, and legal obligations. We use encrypted connections and access controls designed to protect information, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from Field Notes using the link in any newsletter email. You may also request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information, subject to records we must retain for legitimate business, tax, security, or legal purposes.
