Privacy Policy
What we collect, what we don't, and why. Plain English where the law lets us.
We collect your email address only when you give it to us through the subscribe form. We don't run analytics, set cookies, or fingerprint your browser. Email hi@inventowise.com to delete anything we have on you.
1. Who we are
This site is operated by INVENTOWISE LLC, an independent software studio based in Amherst, New Hampshire, USA. Throughout this policy, "we", "us", and "our" mean INVENTOWISE LLC.
2. What we collect
When you subscribe to updates or use the contact form, we collect:
- Your email address. Required to send you the updates you signed up for.
- Whatever you type in the message field. Optional. Helps us understand your operation if you've shared one.
Our hosting provider (Vercel) keeps standard request logs — IP address, user agent, requested path, timestamp — for a short window so we can debug outages and block abuse. We don't link those logs to subscribers.
3. What we don't collect
- No analytics scripts (no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Mixpanel)
- No third-party cookies
- No browser fingerprinting
- No advertising trackers
- No payment information — this site doesn't sell anything
4. Why we collect it
One reason: to send you what you asked for, then reply if you wrote us a message. We don't sell your email, we don't add you to drip campaigns, and we don't share your address with anyone except the tools listed below that help us deliver the email.
5. Third parties
We rely on a small number of trusted services:
- Buttondown stores the subscriber list and sends the newsletter. Privacy policy: buttondown.com/legal/privacy .
- Vercel hosts this website and runs the form handler. Privacy policy: vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy .
We don't share your data with anyone else. If we ever bring on a new processor, we'll update this list before it goes live.
6. How long we keep it
We keep your email and message until you ask us to delete it, or until you unsubscribe — whichever comes first. Vercel's standard request logs roll off on their own (typically within 30 days).
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live (GDPR in the EU/UK, CCPA/CPRA in California, similar laws elsewhere), you have the right to:
- Know what we have on you
- Get a copy of it
- Correct anything that's wrong
- Have us delete it
- Tell us to stop sending you email — the unsubscribe link in every email works for this
Email hi@inventowise.com with the subject "Privacy request" and we'll handle it within 30 days. We won't ask you for ID — your email address itself is the identifier.
8. International users
We're based in the United States. If you subscribe from outside the US, your data will be transferred to and processed in the US. By signing up, you consent to that transfer. Buttondown and Vercel both maintain standard contractual clauses for cross-border transfers.
9. Children
This site is meant for adults running their own e-commerce stores. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. If you think a child has subscribed, email us and we'll delete the record.
10. Changes to this policy
When we change this policy in a way that affects what we collect or who we share it with, we'll send a heads-up to active subscribers before the change takes effect. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated policy.
