2. Information We Collect

I collect information that you provide directly when you place an order, create an account, contact me, or sign up for marketing communications. This includes your name, email address, shipping address, and payment information.

I also collect information automatically when you visit my website, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs. This is collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies.

5. Sharing Your Information

I do not sell your personal information. I share your information only with third-party service providers who assist us in operating our business — including payment processors, fulfillment and shipping providers, analytics platforms, and email marketing tools. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes I have specified.

I may also disclose your information if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Coal Dust Union or others.

To exercise any of these rights, contact me at contact@coaldustunion.com. I will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

9. Security

I implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure and I cannot guarantee absolute security.
