Privacy Policy (“Privacy” on Wikipedia.)
Effective Date: September 5, 2026
At The Broom Squires Marketplace, we believe that trust is the strongest binding wire in any guild. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit Broom Corners.
1. Information We Collect
When you visit our digital village, we will collect certain information to provide and improve our services:
Information You Provide: When you register for an account, make a purchase, or sign up for our newsletter, we collect your name, email address, shipping address, and payment information.
Automated Information (Cookies): Like any modern outpost, we use “cookies” and similar tracking technologies to remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our blog and marketplace, and ensure our platform functions smoothly. This includes IP addresses, browser types, and device information.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we gather to:
Facilitate transactions between Buyers and Artisans.
Operate and maintain the multi-artisan marketplace software.
Send you our weekly/monthly newsletters, updates on new shop arrivals, and blog content (only if you have opted in).
Monitor platform security and prevent fraudulent activities.
Display curated, non-intrusive advertisements on our blog.
3. How We Share Your Information
We respect your privacy and do not sell your personal data to data brokers. We share your information only in the following circumstances:
With Artisans: When you purchase an artisan’s good, we must share your name, shipping address, and order details with that specific Artisan so they can fulfill and ship your order. Artisans are strictly prohibited from using this information for outside marketing.
Service Providers: We share data with trusted third parties who assist us in operating our platform, such as payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, PayPal), web hosting services, and email marketing software (e.g., Mailchimp, Klaviyo).
Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our community.
4. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information. However, no digital transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
5. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (such as under GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to:
Access the personal data we hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate data.
Request deletion of your data (the “right to be forgotten”).
Opt-out of marketing communications at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact our administrative ledger at [email protected].
6. Updates to this Policy
As our village grows, we may update this Privacy Policy. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Effective Date.”
