What Personal Information we collect and why

Device/Usage data (IP address, browser, time zone, pages viewed, referring/exit pages, clicks, cookies and similar IDs) to operate the Site, prevent fraud, and improve performance.

Order & account data (name, email, phone, billing/shipping address, order details; payment details are processed by our payment provider) to fulfill purchases, support your account, and keep records. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.

Promotion/entry data (e.g., name, email, phone, ZIP, preferred store, age/residency confirmations) to administer giveaways and similar promotions. If you authorize us, we create a Doug Ashy customer account using your email and link your entry to that account.

Communications (emails, support requests, preferences) to respond, provide service updates, and—if you opt in—send marketing.

Legal bases/consent. We process data to perform a contract (orders, account), with your consent (marketing, certain cookies/SMS), to comply with legal obligations (tax, accounting), and for our legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, analytics).

We do not intentionally collect sensitive data (e.g., health information) via the Site.

Comments (if enabled)

WordPress may collect the data shown in the comments form, the commenter’s IP address and browser user agent for spam detection. An anonymized hash of your email may be provided to Gravatar; see Automattic’s policy.

Media

If you upload images, avoid images with embedded location (EXIF GPS) data; visitors can download and extract location data.

Cookies & similar technologies

We use cookies for essential operations (session, cart, login), analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), and—if enabled—advertising/retargeting.

Examples WordPress/analytics cookies may set: wordpress_*, wp-settings-*, comment_author_*, _ga, _gid, _gat. You can control cookies in your browser. Learn more at allaboutcookies.org.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to help understand Site usage (pages viewed, events). Google’s policy: google.com/policies/privacy. Opt-out: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Other plugins or hosting tools may also collect analytics; see each provider’s documentation.

How we use Personal Information

• Orders & services: Process payments, fulfill orders, arrange shipping, provide invoices/confirmations.
• Support & communications: Respond to questions and send service/transactional messages.
• Promotions: Administer giveaways (verify eligibility, contact winners by email and/or SMS, fulfill prizes, manage tax forms such as IRS W-9/1099 when applicable).
• Security & fraud prevention: Screen for risk and abuse (including duplicate-entry blocking).
• Improvement & analytics: Improve the Site, products, and campaigns.
• Marketing (with your preferences/consent): Provide information or advertising about our products/services.

Who we share data with

We share information with service providers who process data for us, including: Mailchimp (forms/emails/landing pages), analytics/ads platforms (e.g., Google, Facebook), payment processors, shipping carriers, security/hosting/IT. We may disclose data to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights, or in a business transfer.

We do not sell Personal Information for money. Some advertising/analytics cookies may be considered a “sale” or “share” under certain state laws—see “Your privacy rights.”

If you provide a phone number, you may receive automated texts solely for order/service updates or giveaway winner notifications. Message/data rates may apply; frequency varies.

Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards—such as access controls, TLS encryption in transit, and staff training—to help protect Personal Information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
