Privacy

Short page, because there is not much to tell you. This site has no analytics, no tracking pixels, no advertising and no third-party scripts of any kind. I do not know how many of you are reading this, and I have made my peace with that.

What I hold, and who else sees it

  • Your order. A name, a postal address and an email address, so a parcel can reach you and I can tell you when it has gone out. Orders are kept as records of sales, which tax authorities take a view on.
  • Payment is Stripe's. Checkout runs on Stripe's own pages, and card numbers never touch this site or its server.
  • The carrier gets your address. It goes on the parcel, which is the whole point of a parcel.
  • The mailing list, only if you typed your address into it. That lives with Buttondown, it is used to say "the store is open" and very little else, and every email it sends carries an unsubscribe link that works.
  • Abuse limits. Checkout and mailing-list signup use your IP address in memory to limit abuse. It is not written to disk or linked to your order.
  • Discord is Discord. If you join the server, their terms and their data handling apply, not mine.

Your cart, and the updater

The cart is not mine. It sits in your own browser's local storage and is never sent anywhere until you choose to check out. Clearing your browser data clears it, and I never see an abandoned one.

The firmware updater runs entirely in your browser, over Web Bluetooth, talking directly to the board in your hands. Firmware files are ordinary static downloads. Nothing about your board, your console or your update is reported back to me. If you want me to know a flash went wrong, you will have to tell me.

Having it removed

Email contact@alwaysagog.com and ask. I will take you off the mailing list immediately and delete what I can. Order records I may have to keep for as long as the law says, and I will tell you if that is the case rather than quietly doing nothing.
