Privacy Policy

Information we collect

Printed-edition interest. If you join the printed-edition interest list, we collect your email address and your confirmation that you would like to hear if a printed version moves forward.

Purchases. Purchases are completed through Payhip. Made Deliberate may receive customer and order information needed to deliver and support your purchase, such as your name, email address, product purchased, order date, amount, payment status, and billing or location details made available by Payhip.

Messages and inquiries. If you email us, we receive your email address, your message, and any other information you choose to include.

Website usage and analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use this website. Google Analytics may collect information about pages viewed, referring sites, campaign links, approximate location, browser and device type, and interactions such as selecting a purchase link. If Payhip is connected to the same analytics property, it may also send purchase events and related transaction details to Google Analytics.

Technical information. The services that host and protect this website may process limited technical information, such as an IP address, browser or device information, and request data, to deliver pages securely, prevent abuse, and maintain reliability.

Purchases and payments

Our digital products are sold through Payhip. Depending on the payment method you choose, payment processing is provided by Stripe or PayPal. Made Deliberate does not collect or store your full payment card or PayPal account credentials on this website.

Payhip, Stripe, and PayPal process information under their own privacy policies. You can review the Payhip Privacy & Cookies Policy, Stripe Privacy Policy, and PayPal Privacy Statement.

How we use information

We use personal information to:

• Deliver purchases and provide receipts, downloads, support, and refunds.
• Maintain transaction, accounting, tax, and business records where required.
• Respond to partnership, customer service, and other inquiries.
• Notify people who joined the printed-edition interest list if that edition moves forward.
• Understand website traffic, measure campaign performance, and improve our content and products.
• Operate, secure, and improve the reliability of the website.
• Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

When we share information

We share information only as needed with service providers that help us process purchases and payments, host and secure the website, store form submissions, provide analytics, and communicate with customers. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or safety, or in connection with a business transfer.

Google processes analytics information under its own terms and privacy practices. You can read more in Google’s Privacy Policy and Google Analytics’ data safeguards.

Made Deliberate does not sell or rent your personal information. We do not currently use advertising pixels on this website.

Instagram content and external links

The homepage displays recent Made Deliberate Instagram posts using feed data supplied by Behold. Behold describes its service as privacy-focused and states that its widgets do not use cookies or collect visitor data. You can read Behold’s privacy details.

If you select an Instagram post or another external link, you leave this website. The destination site’s own terms and privacy practices apply.

Cookies and similar technologies

Google Analytics uses cookies, including _ga and _ga_<container-id>, to distinguish visitors and maintain session information. Google lists a default expiration of up to two years for these cookies. Our operational service providers may also use cookies or similar technologies when needed for security and site functionality. Payhip and other third-party sites may use cookies under their own policies when you visit or complete a purchase.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. You can also use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent Google Analytics from using your activity on websites that use its supported JavaScript.

Retention and security

We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose described in this policy, to maintain required business records, or to meet legal obligations. Printed-edition interest emails are retained until the interest process is complete or you ask us to remove yours.

We use reasonable safeguards to protect information, but no website or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed completely secure.

Children’s privacy

Our website and products are intended for parents, caregivers, and educators. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

Your choices

You may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information you have provided to us, or ask to be removed from the printed-edition interest list, subject to any information we must retain for legal or business-record purposes. For information handled by Payhip, Stripe, or PayPal, please use the choices described in that provider’s privacy policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our website, products, or service providers change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
