Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2025

1. Our Approach

SODATERU collects only the data needed to fulfil your orders, maintain your newsletter subscription, and improve the site. We do not sell your data. We do not build advertising profiles. We ask for trust before we ask for data.

Collect less. Understand more. We build rich metadata about garments, worlds, presentation assets, and aggregate catalog performance. We avoid building detailed behavioral profiles about individual visitors.

2. What Data We Collect

  • Name and email address — when you subscribe to the Garden Dispatch or place an order.
  • Shipping address — when you place an order. Required to fulfil it.
  • Payment information — Bitcoin payment invoices are handled without storing card or bank data. We do not hold payment credentials.
  • Language preference — stored locally in your browser.
  • Cookie consent choice — stored locally in your browser.
  • Aggregate site analytics — page views and interaction counts. Only collected with your consent. Not tied to your identity.

We do not use raw session recordings, mouse-movement tracking, per-user click-path histories, exit-intent profiling, or individual video-watch timelines to profile visitors.

3. How We Use Your Data

  • To fulfil your order through Printful
  • To send your order confirmation and shipping updates
  • To send the Garden Dispatch newsletter (only with your consent)
  • To understand aggregate site performance (only with your consent)
  • To comply with legal obligations

4. Who We Share Data With

We share your name and shipping address with Printful to fulfil your order. Printful is our production and fulfilment partner. We share your email with our newsletter service provider to send the Garden Dispatch. We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use strictly necessary cookies for cart, checkout, authentication, and storing your consent choice. We use optional analytics cookies (with your consent) to measure aggregate site performance: product views, add-to-cart counts, purchases, newsletter signup rates, top presentation assets, and channel performance. We do not use marketing or advertising cookies by default. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

Routine AI reporting uses compact aggregate summaries, not identifiable visitor histories. The daily growth report is designed to help the operator decide what to do next without continuously analyzing individual visits.

6. Data Retention

Order data is retained as long as necessary to fulfil legal, tax, and accounting obligations. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. Cookie consent records are stored locally in your browser and expire when you clear browser data.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to: access data we hold about you, correct inaccurate data, request deletion, object to processing, or receive a data export. To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@sodateru.shop.

You can also use our Data Controls page to submit access, correction, deletion, objection, unsubscribe, and consent-management requests directly.

California residents: If we enable targeted advertising, we will provide a Do Not Sell or Share link and honour applicable opt-out signals including GPC. At launch, targeted advertising is not active.

8. Security

We use industry-standard practices to protect data in transit and at rest. No system is perfectly secure. If you become aware of a security issue, contact us at hello@sodateru.shop.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy. Changes will be posted with an updated date. Significant changes will be communicated via the Garden Dispatch to subscribers.
