Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little as possible and to keep it only as long as we need it. We serve customers in the United States.

2. What we collect

• Account information: your email address and a unique account identifier when you sign up. If you sign in with Google, we receive your email address from Google.
• Designs you save: the glider design data (shape parameters, decorations, settings, and the name you give it) you choose to save to your fleet.
• Orders: items ordered, your shipping address, order totals, tax, and shipping/tracking details.
• Gifts: for gift purchases, the recipient's name and email and any message you include, plus the gift's status.
• Payment: your payment is processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store your card number; we retain only a payment reference and the amounts needed to record the transaction.
• Technical logs: standard server logs (e.g. request metadata) used to operate and secure the service.

3. How we use it

• To provide the design tool, save your fleet, and fulfill and ship orders.
• To send transactional email — account verification, order and shipping updates, and gift notifications/reminders.
• To operate, secure, improve, and analyze the service, and to detect and prevent abuse.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

4. Cookies & local storage

We keep this light. We use your browser's local storage to keep you signed in and to hold your in-progress cart and design between visits — this stays on your device. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If we add optional analytics in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent first.

5. Who we share it with

We share data only with the service providers needed to run the store:

• Stripe — payment processing and sales-tax calculation.
• EasyPost / carriers — to buy shipping labels and deliver your order.
• Amazon Web Services — hosting, storage, and email delivery.

We do not sell your personal information. Each provider processes your data under its own terms and only to perform its service for us.

6. Data retention

• Saved designs (DXF / design data): retained while your account is active. When you delete your account, your profile and saved designs are deleted. Design files stored with a completed order are retained as part of that order record (below), so we can reproduce exactly what you purchased.
• Orders and gifts: retained after account deletion as financial and record-keeping records (for accounting, tax, refunds, and dispute handling). Your login is removed and your profile is deleted, but the transaction records remain.

7. Your choices & account deletion

You can delete your account at any time from the account area. This removes your profile and saved designs and disables your login. As noted above, records of completed orders and gifts are retained for record-keeping. You may also contact us to access or correct your information.

8. California privacy rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request access to or deletion of your personal information, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell personal information. To make a request, email legal@gliderparty.com; we will verify your request against your account before acting on it.

9. Security

We use reputable cloud infrastructure, encrypt secrets, and never store card data. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

10. Children

The store is intended for adults purchasing on behalf of a household. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the service evolves or as the law requires. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above, and where appropriate we will provide additional notice. Continued use of the service after an update means you accept the revised policy.
