Effective Date: September 5, 2025
Welcome, sweet soul! We’re so glad you’re here.

At The Surprise Baker (www.thesurprisebaker.com), your privacy matters to us as much as a perfect golden crust. This Privacy Policy outlines what kind of information we collect, how we use it, and how your personal sweetness is protected.

By visiting this website or placing an order, you agree to the terms of this policy.

✨ What We Collect

When you interact with our website, we may collect:

• Name

• Email address

• Shipping address (if applicable)

• Payment info (processed securely via third-party services like Stripe or PayPal)

• Browser/device data (via cookies or analytics tools)

We only collect what’s needed to fulfill your order or offer you a magical experience — no spells, no tricks.

🍯 How We Use Your Info

We use your info to:

• Process orders and send confirmations

• Deliver tasty updates and surprise announcements (with your permission)

• Respond to your questions or customer service requests

We never sell or share your information with unrelated third parties. Ever. Pinky promise.

🎀 Email Marketing & Communication

If you sign up for our sweet little mailing list (you'll know — it’s got sparkles), you’ll receive occasional emails full of magic, menus, and news from the fairy kitchen.

You may unsubscribe anytime using the link at the bottom of any email. No hard feelings. We'll still love you.

🍪 Cookies (Not the Edible Kind)

Our website may use cookies (the digital kind, sadly) to:

• Remember who you are between visits

• Help us see what parts of the site are most loved

• Make your browsing experience smoother than buttercream

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time — though your experience may be less sweet.

🛡️ Third-Party Services

We use trusted services like:

• Google Analytics

• Simplero

• Stripe / PayPal (for payments)
  These services have their own privacy practices. We recommend reviewing them if you're curious.

🐾 A Note on Our Home Kitchen

As noted in our Terms of Use, our kitchen shares space with a beloved, gentle small dog. While he has no access to your data (or the cookie dough), please keep this in mind if you are extremely sensitive to pet allergens.

💫 Protecting Your Information

We use reasonable security measures to protect your personal data — because your trust is sacred. That said, no system is 100% secure, so we encourage you to use strong passwords and safe online practices.

🧚‍♀️ Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for use by children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe we have accidentally received such data, please contact us and we’ll remove it right away.

📝 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our offerings or systems evolve. Any changes will be posted here, with the date updated at the top.
