Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 30, 2026
Welcome to Kitty’s Confections (www.kittysconfections.com). We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and place orders for our homemade treats.
By using this website, you agree to the terms of this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways: information you provide to us directly and information collected automatically.
A. Information You Provide When you place an order, fill out a contact form, or sign up for our newsletter, we may collect:
Personal Identity: Name, email address, and phone number.
Transaction Details: Billing address and order specifics (including dietary restrictions or allergy information).
Payment Information: Credit card details are processed directly through our secure payment processor (e.g., Stripe, Square, or PayPal). We do not store your credit card information on our servers.
B. Information Collected Automatically When you visit our site, we may automatically collect certain data about your device and usage, including:
Log Data: Your IP address, browser type, and operating system.
Usage Data: Which pages you visited and how long you stayed (this helps us understand which cookies are the most popular!).
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
Process Your Orders: Confirm your order, process your full upfront payment, and coordinate your local pickup in Decatur.
Communicate: Send you order confirmations, pickup reminders, and receipts.
Improve Our Site: Analyze how visitors use our website to improve the layout and offerings.
Marketing (Optional): If you have opted in, we may send you emails about holiday specials, presales, or new menu items. You can unsubscribe at any time.
3. Cookies and Tracking
Like most websites, we use "cookies" (small data files placed on your device) to enhance your experience.
Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the shopping cart and checkout process to work.
Analytics Cookies: These help us see which treats are getting the most attention. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, but please note that some features of our website (like the checkout cart) may not function properly without them.
4. Third-Party Services
We are a small local business, not a data broker. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. However, we do share data with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our website, such as:
Website Hosting: (e.g., Squarespace, Wix, Hostinger, WordPress)
Payment Processors: To securely handle your credit card transactions.
Email Services: To send order confirmations.
These parties are authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to us.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information. Our website uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt data during transmission (look for the "lock" icon in your browser address bar). While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
6. Children’s Privacy
Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Updates will be posted on this page with the "Effective Date" at the top.
