PRIVACY POLICY
How we collect, use, and share information when you visit our website or make a purchase.
This Privacy Policy explains how Grounded Supply Co. ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website or make a purchase. We are a sole proprietorship based in North Carolina, USA, and we sell to customers in the United States only. If you have questions, contact us at max@groundedsupply.co or business mailing address.
1INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Information you give us. your name, shipping and billing address, email address, phone number, and order details when you make a purchase or sign up for marketing.
Payment information. your payment card details are collected and processed directly by our payment processor, Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number.
Automatically collected information. when you visit our site, we and our service providers automatically collect information such as your IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, referring pages, and interactions with our site. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies, including the Meta Pixel and Cloudflare.
Using the categories set out in the California Consumer Privacy Act (Civil Code § 1798.140(v)), we collect: identifiers (real name, postal address, email address, phone number, and Internet Protocol address); commercial information (records of products purchased and order history); internet or other electronic network activity information (browsing history and information regarding your interaction with our website and advertisements); and inferences drawn from the above to support advertising. We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information, characteristics of protected classifications, biometric information, or precise geolocation data.
2HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use your information to: process and fulfill your orders; arrange production and shipping through Printful and Apliiq; communicate with you about your order; provide customer support and handle guarantee claims; send marketing emails and text messages if you have opted in; measure and improve our advertising (including through the Meta Pixel); operate, secure, and improve our website; and comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations.
3THIRD PARTIES WE SHARE INFORMATION WITH
We are not in the business of selling your personal information for money. We share information with the following service providers so we can run our store:
Stripe. payment processing. Stripe receives the payment and billing information needed to process your transaction.
Printful and Apliiq. our print-on-demand fulfillment partners. Whichever partner produces your order receives your name, shipping address, and order details so it can produce and ship it.
Cloudflare. content delivery and website security. Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address to deliver and protect the site.
GitHub. website hosting. GitHub's servers deliver our website content.
Meta (Facebook/Instagram). advertising and analytics via the Meta Pixel. When you use our site, the Meta Pixel may send information about your activity to Meta for ad measurement and targeting.
We may also disclose information to comply with the law, enforce our Terms, or protect our legal rights, and in connection with a sale or transfer of the business.
4COOKIES AND TRACKING (INCLUDING THE META PIXEL)
We use cookies and tracking technologies to run the site, remember your cart, measure traffic, and support advertising. The Meta Pixel tracks your activity on our site and sends it to Meta so we can measure ad performance and show relevant ads on Facebook and Instagram. Under US state privacy laws, this kind of cross-context/targeted ad tracking is generally treated as "sharing" (and sometimes "selling") of personal information: of the roughly 20 states with comprehensive privacy laws, all but a handful expressly require businesses to let consumers opt out of this activity, and at least 11 states legally require businesses to honor the Global Privacy Control browser signal (see Section 7 for how to opt out).
5MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS AND YOUR CHOICES
If you opt in, we may send you marketing emails and/or text messages about products and promotions.
Email. every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. We honor opt-out requests as required by the federal CAN-SPAM Act, and we include our physical mailing address in commercial emails as that law requires.
Text messages (SMS). we only send marketing texts to customers who have provided prior express written consent, as required by the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Message and data rates may apply; message frequency varies. Reply STOP to unsubscribe at any time; reply HELP for help. Consent to marketing texts is not a condition of purchase.
We may still send you non-marketing messages about your order (such as confirmations and shipping updates) even if you opt out of marketing.
6DATA RETENTION
We keep your information for as long as needed to fulfill orders, provide support, honor our guarantee, and meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements, after which we delete or de-identify it.
7US STATE PRIVACY RIGHTS AND HOW TO OPT OUT
Depending on your state of residence, you may have some or all of the following rights: the right to know/access the personal information we collect and how we use and share it; the right to delete your personal information; the right to correct inaccurate personal information; the right to data portability; the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information and of targeted advertising; and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. As of early 2026, 20 US states have comprehensive consumer privacy laws in effect, including California (CCPA/CPRA), Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, and Montana, with Indiana, Kentucky, and Rhode Island the newest, all effective January 1, 2026. We honor these rights for all US customers regardless of state.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at max@groundedsupply.co with your request. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframe required by your state's law (for example, California generally allows 45 days, with one possible 45-day extension). You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf.
DO NOT SELL OR SHARE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION / OPT OUT OF TARGETED ADVERTISING
Because our use of the Meta Pixel may be considered "sharing" or "selling" under state privacy laws, you can opt out of this type of advertising in the following ways:
- Adjust your Meta ad settings in your Facebook/Instagram Accounts Center under "Ad preferences" (accountscenter.facebook.com).
- Use the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out tool at optout.aboutads.info. (Note: the Network Advertising Initiative's separate cookie-based opt-out tool ceased operation in September 2025; the DAA tool is the current industry standard.)
- Enable the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in a supported browser or extension (globalprivacycontrol.org). We honor GPC as a valid opt-out of the sale/sharing of personal information; at least 11 states (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Texas) legally require businesses to honor it.
- Email us at max@groundedsupply.co and we will process your opt-out.
8SECURITY
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, and rely on reputable providers like Stripe and Cloudflare, to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9CHILDREN'S PRIVACY (COPPA)
Our website and products are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, consistent with the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal information, contact us at max@groundedsupply.co and we will delete it.
10CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Effective date" above shows the latest revision. Changes apply going forward from the date posted.
