privacy policy

overview

schmayterling ("we," "us," "our") operates the website at schmayterling.com. this policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have over it. we believe in keeping things simple and transparent.

what we collect

we collect only what we need. right now, that means:

• email addresses you provide when joining our waitlist.
• standard web analytics such as page views, referral sources, browser type, and approximate location (country or region level). this data is aggregated and not tied to your identity.

when our store launches, we will also collect information necessary to fulfill orders: your name, shipping address, and payment details. payment information is processed directly by our payment provider (Stripe) and is never stored on our servers.

how we use your information

• to send you updates about schmayterling, including product launches, restocks, and brand news.
• to process and fulfill your orders when our store is live.
• to improve our website and understand how people interact with it.
• to respond to your inquiries or support requests.

third-party services

we work with a small number of trusted services to run schmayterling:

• Resend for sending emails. your email address is shared with Resend when you join our waitlist or receive communications from us.
• Vercel for website hosting and infrastructure.
• Stripe for payment processing (when our store launches). Stripe handles your payment information directly under their own privacy policy.
• Printful / Printify for print-on-demand fulfillment (when our store launches). your name and shipping address will be shared with our fulfillment partner to produce and deliver your order.

we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone.

cookies

we keep cookie usage minimal. we only use essential cookies required for the website to function properly (such as session management). we do not use advertising or tracking cookies. if this changes, we will update this policy and let you know.

your rights

you have the right to:

• access the personal information we hold about you.
• request deletion of your personal information at any time.
• opt out of marketing emails by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email, or by contacting us directly.
• correct any inaccurate information we have about you.

to exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@schmayterling.com. we will respond within 30 days.

data retention

we keep your email address for as long as you remain subscribed to our waitlist or mailing list. if you unsubscribe or request deletion, we will remove your information within 30 days. order data (when applicable) is retained for a reasonable period to comply with legal and accounting obligations.

data security

we take reasonable measures to protect your personal information, including using HTTPS encryption and working only with reputable third-party services. however, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

changes to this policy

we may update this privacy policy from time to time. when we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. for significant changes, we will notify you via email if we have your contact information.
