Privacy policy.

Last Updated: November 24, 2025

Hey there! We're Shannon & Jason, and we believe in being transparent about how we handle your information. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. We've written this in plain language because legal jargon makes our brains hurt, and we're guessing yours too.

The Short Version

We collect only what we need to run our business: your email when you sign up for our newsletter, your info when you contact us, and payment details when you buy something. We don't sell your data to anyone, ever. We use trusted services to help us run things smoothly, and we protect your information like we'd want ours protected.

What Information We Collect

Newsletter Signups (via Flodesk)
When you sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address and name (if you provide it). We use this to send you updates about new projects, workshops, books, and the general creative chaos we're up to.

Contact Forms
When you reach out through our contact form, we collect whatever information you choose to share—typically your name, email address, and your message. We use this solely to respond to your inquiry.

Purchase Information (via Stripe)
When you buy something from us, Stripe (our payment processor) collects your payment information. We receive your name, email, billing address, and order details, but we never see or store your full credit card information. That stays securely with Stripe.

Website Analytics (via Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to understand how people use our website—things like which pages are popular, how long people stick around, and where visitors are coming from. This helps us make the site better. Google Analytics collects data like your IP address, browser type, and pages visited.

Cookies
Our website uses cookies (small text files stored on your device) to make things work properly and to help with analytics. Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings if you'd prefer to limit them.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Send you newsletters and updates (only if you've signed up for them)

  • Respond to your questions and messages

  • Process your purchases and send you what you ordered

  • Improve our website and understand what content resonates with folx

  • Comply with legal obligations (the boring but necessary stuff)

We will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. Your data is yours, period.

Who We Share Your Information With

We work with trusted service providers who help us run our business:

Flodesk — Email marketing platform (stores your email and newsletter preferences)
Squarespace — Website hosting platform (hosts our site and contact forms)
Stripe — Payment processing (handles all payment transactions securely)
Google Analytics — Website analytics (tracks site usage anonymously)

These services have their own privacy policies and security measures. We've chosen them because they take data protection seriously, but we encourage you to review their policies if you want the details:

Your Rights & Choices

You have control over your information:

Unsubscribe from emails — Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Click it anytime.

Access your data — Want to know what information we have about you? Just ask.

Delete your data — You can request that we delete your personal information (with some exceptions for legal/financial records we're required to keep).

Opt out of cookies — You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site might not work as smoothly.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at sj@shannonandjason.com.

Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. Our service providers use industry-standard security measures. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security (because honestly, nobody can).

International Visitors

Our website is operated from the United States. If you're visiting from outside the US, please be aware that your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the US, where data protection laws may differ from your country.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from children. If you're a parent and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we'll delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top. If we make significant changes, we'll let you know via email or a notice on our website.

Questions?

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your data, reach out to us at sj@shannonandjason.com. We're real people, and we'll actually respond.
