3(a) Cookies:

This website uses cookies and similar technologies, which are small files or pieces of text/code that download to a device when a visitor accesses a website or app. They become embedded in your browser once you visit the website and serve as a unique user identification for functionality, performance, and personalization.

3(b) Facebook Pixel: The Facebook pixel is an analytics tool that allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising through the actions you take on our website. It is inserted as code into each page of our website and is triggered as soon as you visit our site and take action. The code reports back to Facebook and allows us to optimize not just our marketing and advertising strategies, but also the services that we provide for you. Information captured by the Facebook pixel includes:

  • HTTP headers – HTTP headers are a standard web protocol sent between any browser and any server on the Internet. HTTP headers include IP addresses, information about the web browser, page location, document, referrer and device.

  • Pixel-specific data – Includes pixel ID and the Facebook cookie.

  • Button-click data – Includes any buttons clicked by site visitors, the labels of those buttons and any pages visited as a result of the button clicks. It also includes website form field names such as "email", "address" and "quantity" for when you purchase a product or service.

5. How We Protect Your Information:

While no service is completely secure, Squarespace has a security team dedicated to keeping personal information safe. They maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that are intended to appropriately protect against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of, personal information. Security measures such as using firewalls to protect against intruders, building redundancies throughout the network (so that if one server goes down, another can cover for it), and testing for and protecting against network vulnerabilities are just some of the methods Squarespace employs to ensure that your personal information remains protected.

6. Emails:

If you sign up for our email list, we will (very rarely) send you marketing emails, which you can unsubscribe from by clicking the link at the bottom of the email. We share your contact information with Squarespace, our email marketing provider, so they can send these emails on our behalf.
