Fritz's Forge

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 10, 2026

Welcome to Fritz's Forge. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy will inform you as to how we look after your personal data when you visit our website (fritzforge.com) and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

This policy applies to individuals globally, including residents of the United States (including California), the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), Asia, and Australia.

1. Information We Collect

We collect and process the following types of personal information when you use our website, create an account, or make a purchase:

  • Identity and Contact Data: Email address, first name, last name, phone number, and delivery address.
  • Account Data: Passwords and login credentials used to access your account.
  • Transaction and Payment Data: Details about payments to and from you, and other details of products you have purchased from us.

Note on Payments: All one-time payment transactions are securely processed through our third-party payment provider, Stripe. We do not collect, process, or store your complete credit card numbers or bank account details on our servers. Stripe's handling of your financial information is governed by their own Privacy Policy.

2. How We Use Your Information

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we use your personal information for the following purposes:

  • To fulfill our contract with you: Processing your non-recurring orders, managing payments via Stripe, and delivering your purchased goods to your delivery address.
  • To manage your account: Setting up and maintaining your user profile on fritzforge.com, allowing you to log in securely.
  • To communicate with you: Sending transactional emails (like order confirmations and shipping updates) or responding to inquiries you initiate.
  • To comply with legal obligations: Maintaining proper financial and tax records as required by international commerce laws.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We only share your data with trusted third parties necessary to operate our business and fulfill your orders:

  • Payment Processors: We share necessary transaction data with Stripe to facilitate your purchases securely.
  • Delivery and Logistics: We share your name, phone number, and delivery address with trusted shipping carriers to ensure your order reaches you.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).

4. International Data Transfers

Because we sell globally—including to the USA, EU, UK, Asia, and Australia—your personal data may be processed and stored in locations outside of your home country.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, UK, or other regions with strict data protection laws, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by utilizing legally recognized transfer mechanisms, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or relying on adequacy decisions.

5. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you have specific legal rights regarding your personal data. We extend these core rights to all our users globally:

General Rights (Including EU/UK GDPR & Australia Privacy Act)

  • Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to Correction: You can request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete data we hold about you.
  • Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You can ask us to delete your personal data when there is no good reason for us to continue processing it.
  • Right to Restrict Processing: You can ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data under certain scenarios.

California Resident Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

  • Right to Know: You have the right to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
  • Right to Delete: You can request the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions (like completing a pending transaction).
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
  • "Do Not Sell My Personal Information": Fritz's Forge does not sell your personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration.

To exercise any of these rights, please use the contact information provided in Section 8.

6. Data Security and Retention

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. Your account is protected by a password, and we recommend using a strong, unique password.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data relating to children. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
