Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 24, 2023 - Previous Update: August 2, 2022

 

Simply Put in Layperson's Terms from Fiddleheads' Owner, Rhiannon Nachbaur

I don't like the how companies and businesses are harvesting and exploiting our data in this modern age. In fact, it really creeps me out and I refuse to do that to other human beings to get ahead in any way.

I promise I won't sell, trade, give away or in any other way use your information in ways other than directly fulfilling your order and providing you the best damn service possible. Other sites may claim this but not actually comply. You can rest assured you are dealing with a sole proprietor who strives to live a life of honesty and integrity and your data is safe with me.

 

Formal Policy

This privacy policy sets out how this website (hereafter "Fiddleheads") uses and protects any information that you give me (Rhiannon Nachbaur) and Fiddleheads (hereafter collectively "us" or "we") while using this website (hereafter “Service”).

Fiddleheads and I are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. When we ask you to provide information by which you can be identified when using the Service, you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.
