Last updated: September 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Tinkerclub ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your personal information when you visit or make a purchase from tinkerclub.net (the "Site").

1. Personal Information We Collect

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies installed on your device. We refer to this automatically-collected information as "Device Information."

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

  • Cookies are data files placed on your device or computer that often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
  • Log files track actions occurring on the Site and collect data including your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
  • Web beacons, tags, and pixels are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as "Order Information."

When we talk about "Personal Information" in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

2. How We Use Your Personal Information

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site, including:

  • Processing payment information
  • Arranging shipping
  • Providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations
  • Communicating with you
  • Screening orders for potential risk or fraud
  • Providing you with information or advertising relating to our products or services, when in line with the preferences you have shared with us

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud, and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

3. Sharing Your Personal Information

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example:

  • Shopify — Our online store is hosted on Shopify. Shopify provides us with the e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. You can read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy.
  • Payment processors — We use third-party payment processors (such as Shopify Payments, PayPal, or similar) to securely process payment information. These providers have their own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase.
