Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 1, 2026

Allice Teaspot ("we," "our," "us") is a small business owned and operated by David Yates and based at 2823 Prudence Street, Westland, MI 48185. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use alliceteaspot.com, why we collect it, and what we do (and don't) do with it.

The short version

• We only collect what we need to answer your emails, ship your tea, and keep the website working.
• We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Ever.
• We use one set of anonymous analytics cookies to understand which pages people read. You can decline them from the banner and everything still works.
• You can ask us to delete anything we have about you by emailing help@alliceteaspot.com.

Information we collect

Information you give us directly

• Contact requests: name, email address, phone (optional), and the content of your message when you use our contact form or write to us.
• Orders: name, shipping address, email, phone, and the items ordered. Payment is processed by our payment provider — we never see or store your full card number.
• Newsletter: email address, and the date you subscribed.

Information collected automatically

• Standard server logs: IP address, browser type, referring page, and the URL of the page you requested. These are kept for 30 days for security and troubleshooting.
• Anonymous analytics (if you accept cookies): page views, session duration, approximate country. We do not use cross-site tracking or advertising cookies.

How we use your information

• To answer your questions and fulfill orders.
• To send order confirmations and shipping updates.
• To send our monthly newsletter, only if you've asked for it. You can unsubscribe from any email in one click.
• To understand which pages and teas people are interested in, so we can improve the site.
• To comply with legal obligations (for example, sales-tax reporting).

Sharing your information

We share information only with the small handful of vendors we need to run the shop:

• Our website host and email provider (for delivery of the site and messages).
• Our payment processor (for charging orders securely).
• Shipping carriers (USPS) for delivery.

Each of these vendors is contractually required to handle your information according to applicable privacy laws. We do not share your information with advertising networks or data brokers.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export the personal information we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, email help@alliceteaspot.com. We reply within 30 days.

California residents have specific rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete, and the right to opt out of "sales" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by California law.

Children

Our website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS. We limit access to personal information to the people who need it to run the shop. No online service is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable, standard measures to protect what you share with us.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top and, where appropriate, notify subscribers by email.
