Not a policy.
A position.

Ownership does not transfer on contact.

The prevailing model of the internet treats every interaction as a data collection opportunity. Information flows in, gets stored, gets analyzed, gets sold. Individuals are expected to opt out of arrangements they never agreed to.

We reject that model. Information about you extends from you. The fact that it passed through our systems does not make it ours. We are temporary custodians — nothing more.

Custody is not title.

We hold your information because a transaction requires it — not because we want it. Every element we collect has a specific, declared purpose. Nothing is gathered speculatively or retained beyond its function.

We place the burden on ourselves to justify each data element. If we cannot articulate why we need it, we do not collect it.

Before Purchase

You can request complete deletion.

If you have shared information with us — through a contact form, account creation, or inquiry — and no purchase has been completed, you may request that we delete everything we hold. We will confirm deletion within five business days.

After Purchase

Six years. Then gone.

Once an order is placed, your information becomes a mutual business record. We retain it for exactly six years post-purchase — the standard retention window for commercial records — and then permanently delete it.

Categories retained: purchase orders, delivery confirmations, and payment records. Nothing beyond what describes the transaction.
