Privacy Policy

Effective date: [DATE] · Last updated: [DATE]

This Privacy Policy explains how Sumshed ("we", "us") handles information when you visit sumshed.com (the "Site"). We designed the Site to collect as little personal information as possible.

Information we collect

Information you provide. The values you type into our calculators (dimensions, quantities, settings) are processed in your browser and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers. If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical information, including IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, referring URLs, and approximate (city-level) location derived from your IP address.

Cookies and similar technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies for site functionality, analytics, and advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect some site features.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

We display advertising served by Google AdSense to keep the Site free. You should know that:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' cookies at www.aboutads.info.

For more on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Analytics

We use analytics services to understand aggregate site usage (which tools are used, how visitors find us). This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. [Name your analytics provider here, e.g., Google Analytics 4 or a privacy-focused alternative like Plausible.]

Your rights and choices

EEA/UK visitors (GDPR): where required, we request your consent before setting advertising cookies, and you may withdraw consent at any time via the consent banner. You have rights to access, correct, and delete personal data, and to object to processing.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA): you have the right to know what personal information is collected and to opt out of its "sale" or "sharing" as defined by law. You can exercise opt-out rights via the cookie/consent controls on this Site.

To exercise any rights, contact us at hello@sumshed.com.

Children's privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Data retention and security

Contact emails are retained only as long as needed to handle your inquiry. Automatically collected data is retained according to our service providers' standard retention periods.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
