Privacy and Information Use

 

We do not allow advertisers on our site except for the potential for future affiliate links, which will always be reported on the page where the link is shown.

We do not, and never will, sell or share names, addresses, email addresses, or any demographic information you provide to us from our company records unless you ask us to do so in writing or we’re under legal obligation to do so. Full stop.
However, except for information given on secure pages (checkout pages), none of the information you provide us in forms or emails is encrypted. Please share your information responsibly, and do not share information at all if you are under the age of 18 unless you have someone helping who can help you both determine if the information you’re providing is safe, and determine who you’re providing it to is safe.

While we must maintain order information, we will honor any requests made to us by email or in writing to remove your information from every instance where we aren’t required to hang onto it - for instance, email address and name from a subscription list. Most automated emails come with an unsubscribe link at the bottom (except for those related to a single order that’s already been placed or a change made to your account).

Unfortunately, that only applies to SkunkScrub as an individual company. Our website is hosted by Squarespace and we deeply believe in your right to know how your information is used by their software. Below is Squarespace’s privacy information in italics that is relevant to SkunkScrub.com with our annotations below:

Analytics:

This website collects personal data to power our site analytics, including:

  • Information about your browser, network, and device

  • Web pages you visited prior to coming to this website

  • Your IP address

This information may also include details about your use of this website, including:

  • Clicks

  • Internal links

  • Pages visited

  • Scrolling

  • Searches

  • Timestamps

We share this information with Squarespace, our website analytics provider, to learn about site traffic and activity.

From us at SkunkScrub related to analytics: We do not have the ability to cherry-pick which analytical tools our site host uses. The information above sounds quite invasive and yes, it has the potential to be invasive. The way SkunkScrub uses it is similar to how staff at a retail store can see what people like to do in their store. The staff member may remember your face (like your IP address here), and will watch to see what places in the store really catch and hold customer attention (on here that’s scrolling, clicks, internal links, timestamps). That way, the business owner (us) knows what their customers like so we can provide more of it!

Cookies:

This website uses cookies and similar technologies, which are small files or pieces of text that download to a device when a visitor accesses a website or app. For information about viewing the cookies dropped on your device, visit The cookies Squarespace uses.

Please note that we enabled the cookie banner to allow you to opt-out of as many cookies as possible if you’d like. (We prefer to be given a choice when we browse, too.) While those cookies allow us to understand more of what’s really engaging you on our website so we can make it awesome for you . . . we get it.

Ordering:

When you buy something on this website, we collect personal information from you to fulfill the order. We may collect information like your:

  • Billing and shipping address

  • Details relating to your purchase (for example, your shirt size)

  • Email address

  • Name

  • Phone number

We share this information with Squarespace, our online store hosting provider, so that they can provide website services to us.

As you go through checkout, this site may auto-complete your shipping and billing address by sharing what you type with the Google Places API and returning suggestions to you to improve your checkout experience.

Forms:

When you submit information to this website via webform, we collect the data requested in the webform in order to track and respond to your submissions. We share this information with Squarespace, our online store hosting provider, so that they can provide website services to us. We also share this information with Google (data storage) and with Zapier for data porting.

From us at SkunkScrub: This is the reality of where your form submissions track through before they come to our eyes. We hope that as our enterprise grows and we get big enough to own the whole world, that no customer data ever goes anywhere outside our own company servers. Alas, that day is not today, but we believe in privacy like we believe in sustainability. You may feel free to email us directly at comesayhello@skunkscrub.com with any information so that you can at least skip over the data porting part that comes with form submission.

Browsing:

This website is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace collects personal data when you visit this website, including:

  • Information about your browser, network and device

  • Web pages you visited prior to coming to this website

  • Web pages you view while on this website

  • Your IP address

Squarespace needs the data to run this website, and to protect and improve its platform and services. Squarespace analyzes the data in a de-personalized form.

From us at SkunkScrub: Squarespace definitely runs their own analytics of our traffic the same way that the developer or owner of a plaza or mall analyzes the foot traffic of the stores inside their building.

Fonts:

This website uses font files from Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts. To properly display this site to you, servers where the font files are stored may receive personal information about you, including:

  • Information about your browser, network, or device

  • Your IP address

From us at SkunkScrub: We wish we could turn this off without having the most boring-ass website on the planet. Turns out Google and Adobe want to run analytics on how many people are looking at their pretty lettering. *shrug

Please know that we here at SkunkScrub are grateful for you. Happy shopping.
