Who We Are
Our website address is: whatever you typed into your browser to get here. Presumably something involving "aurora noir" and/or "handcrafted chocolate." Congratulations, you found us.
What "Personal Data" We Collect and Why We Collect It
Since we are all participating in this exercise of "transparency," here is the riveting rundown of what data is collected.
Contact Forms
All submissions you make through the contact form land in our email inbox. That's it. If you have any genuine concerns about your information, you should probably be looking at the privacy policy of whoever hosts our email, as we are merely facilitating the process.
Cookies
Yes, we use cookies. It is apparently impossible to operate a website without them.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include content embedded from other websites (e.g., videos, images, etc.). For clarity, this embedded content behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited the other website directly.
This means those external sites are free to collect data about you, use their own magnificent cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content. Consider yourself warned.
Analytics
We track some things. It's what everyone does when they have a website.
Who We Share Your Data With
Whoever is necessary to make things function. Please refer to the email entry and the "Embedded Content" section above for a general idea.
How Long We Retain Your Data
We don't retain any permanent data about visitors. Emails sit in our inbox until someone remembers to clean up. There is no automated purge schedule. There is only entropy.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
Since this is a fairly standard website that retains almost none of your personal information, the rights you have are mostly theoretical. However, in the spirit of compliance, you can request that we erase any personal data we happen to hold about you. Considering the scope of this site, that means you'll probably receive an empty file, but the request still stands. Important Note: This request does not cover any data we are obligated to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Some data just has to stick around.
Where We Send Your Data
Mostly just wherever the web happens to send it. See the note about our email host above.
Our Contact Information
If you really feel the need to send us more data, you can find the contact form right here on this page. Fill it out. Ryan will probably respond within a day.
