Privacy
What we collect
- If you join a list: your email address, your name if you give it, which list or offer you picked, the exact consent wording you agreed to, and when.
- Where you found us: the page you first arrived on, the site that referred you, and any campaign tags in the link (for example
utm_source). Your browser remembers your first visit locally so we can tell, for example, that you came from a podcast rather than a search. We also note how many of the site's hidden discoveries you'd found, and your approximate country and region from our network edge. - Visit analytics: We measure visits using our own analytics service, hosted on DigitalOcean. It records page paths, referring sites, campaign tags, performance and selected interactions, without form contents, cookies or person profiles. A random identifier lasts for the browser tab session. Links between participating Idea Engine sites may carry a short-lived token so we can understand journeys across those sites; it is removed from the address bar on arrival. Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track switches analytics off. We do not sell this information or share it with advertisers.
What we do with it
We use your email only to send what you signed up for: news, launches, early access and offers from Scallywag and closely related Idea Engine projects. We don't sell or rent your information. We use processors to run the site (DigitalOcean for hosting and our own analytics service, Cloudflare for the sign-up service) under their own privacy terms.
Your choices
Every email we send includes a way to unsubscribe. You can also ask us to see, correct or delete what we hold about you by writing to [email protected]. California residents have the rights described in the CCPA/CPRA, and we honor them for everyone.
Children
This site isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date above.
Shopping and payments
Your bag is saved in this browser’s local storage. Stripe hosts checkout; card details do not pass through this website. Completed order records contain the selected items, totals, email and shipping details needed for manual fulfilment, stored privately in Cloudflare D1. They are available only to authorized operators. No automatic order email is sent by this shop.
Marketing consent is separate from checkout. We do not add purchasers to the marketing list without their separate choice.
