Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Three Sisters Kitchen ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at threesisterskitchen.org (the "Website"), including when you make purchases through our online store.

We have a few guiding principles:

• We do not ask you for personal information unless we need it to provide our services or fulfill your requests.
• We do not share your personal information with anyone except to fulfill your orders, comply with the law, or protect our rights.
• We do not store personal information beyond what is required to provide our services, fulfill your orders, and meet our legal obligations.

By using this Website, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the Website.

You may choose to interact with us in ways that require you to provide personal information. The type and amount of information depends on the interaction. For example:

• Online Store Purchases. When you place an order through our store, we collect the information needed to process and fulfill your order. This includes your name, email address, phone number, billing address, shipping address, and order details (items purchased, quantities, and amounts). Payment card details are collected and processed directly by our third-party payment processors (see "Payment Processing" below) and are not stored on our servers.
• Contact Forms and Email. If you send us a message through a contact form or by email, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.
• Newsletter Signup. If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we collect your email address and any other information you choose to provide.
• Event Registration and Programs. If you register for a cooking class, training program, or other event, we collect the information you provide during registration.
• Donations. If you make a donation through the Website, we collect the information needed to process your contribution.

You can always decline to provide personal information, with the understanding that it may prevent you from engaging in certain activities on the Website, such as placing an order.

When you visit the Website, certain information is collected automatically:

• Log Data. Like most website operators, we collect information that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each request. Our purpose in collecting this information is to better understand how visitors use the Website.
• IP Addresses. We collect the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of visitors who interact with the Website. IP addresses are used for security purposes, fraud prevention, and to understand geographic usage patterns.

We may receive information about you from third-party services we use, such as our payment processors or analytics providers. This information is used only for the purposes described in this policy.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Order Fulfillment. To process, fulfill, and ship your orders, and to communicate with you about your purchases (including order confirmations, shipping updates, and customer service inquiries).

• Service Providers. We share information with third-party service providers who help us operate the Website and fulfill orders, including our payment processors, shipping carriers, email service providers, and website hosting provider. These providers are given access only to the information they need to perform their services and are required to protect the confidentiality of your information.
• Legal Requirements. We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a legal process, respond to claims, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Three Sisters Kitchen, our users, or the public.
• Organizational Transfers. If Three Sisters Kitchen is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or transfer of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

We take reasonable measures to protect the personal information we collect from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. The Website uses SSL/TLS encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Specifically:

• Order Data. We retain order and transaction records as required for tax, accounting, and legal compliance purposes.
• Newsletter Subscriptions. We retain your email address and subscription preferences until you unsubscribe.
• Log Data. Website access logs are generally retained for up to 12 months and then deleted.
