Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. Unless you’re tracking us—then that’s creepy.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to https://www.TheEdgeheads.com (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “The Edgeheads”) and governs how we collect, use, and protect your information. We are committed to respecting your privacy, whether you’re just browsing, leaving a comment, or buying that satirical mug we may or may not sell in the future

2. Information We Collect

We collect both non-personally-identifying information (like browser type, language, referral source, and date/time of visit) and potentially personally-identifying information (like IP addresses, user agent strings, email addresses, and billing info for transactions).

We collect data when:
• You browse our website
• Leave a comment or contact us
• Register or create an account (if applicable)
• Purchase a product or service (via Stripe, PayPal, WooCommerce)
• Opt into email updates or feedback

2.1 App Registration:
Passwordless and Full Accounts

In our mobile app, we offer two levels of account access:

Basic Access (Passwordless Registration) Users may sign up with just a name and email. This grants access to core app features and requires email verification, but no password.
Full Access (Password-Protected Accounts) If you purchase merchandise or access premium features, you’ll be asked to create a password. These accounts are managed securely through our website and protected via HTTPS.

We only collect and store the minimum data necessary to provide each level of service, and we do not store plaintext passwords—those are securely handled by our website database.

3. Cookies

Yes, we use cookies. Not the delicious kind. Just the ones that:
• Remember your login or screen preferences
• Keep you logged in longer if you click “Remember Me”
• Help detect spam in comments
• Provide analytics to improve our site

You can refuse cookies via your browser settings. However, some parts of the site may misbehave without them.

4. Embedded & Third-Party Services

Our site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube, Stripe forms) or links to external websites. These third parties may collect data about you, use cookies, or monitor your interaction with their content. We are not responsible for their practices.

We also use third-party services like Google Analytics, Stripe, PayPal, WooCommerce, and anti-spam tools to help run the site. These services may store or process your data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

5. How We Use Your Info

We use the data we collect to:
• Respond to messages or comments
• Improve site functionality and user experience
• Complete transactions and process orders
• Protect against spam or fraud
• Occasionally send you an update or funny thing (only if you signed up)
• Verify your email for registration and manage account access in both the app and on the website.

We do not sell your data. Ever.

6. Data Retention

• Comments and their metadata may be retained indefinitely.
• Transactional data is retained as long as legally required for tax and record-keeping purposes.
• Contact form submissions may be kept for customer service, but not for marketing.
• You can request your data or ask us to delete it—unless we legally need to keep it.

7. Data Sharing

We only share your data with:
• Trusted services necessary to operate this site (e.g., Stripe, WooCommerce, PayPal)
• Legal authorities, if required by law
• Ourselves, when we need to debug something weird

We do not sell, lease, or trade your personal information. Pinky swear.

8. Your Rights

You can:
• Request a copy of your personal data
• Ask us to erase it
• Ask questions or complain (politely)

9. E-Commerce Notes

When you buy something:
• We collect info to fulfill the order (via Stripe, PayPal, or WooCommerce)
• Your payment details are handled securely through those platforms, not by us
• We store only the information necessary to process and track your order

10. Data Security

We use SSL, strong passwords, and secure tools to keep your information safe. No method is 100% bulletproof, but we take your privacy seriously.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as needed to reflect legal, technical, or comedic developments. When we do, we’ll update the date and maybe throw in a joke. Continued use of this site = acceptance of the updated terms.
