At Hunnie Bumble and FriendsĀ®, we believe privacy is part of kindness. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we keep it safe ā all in simple, human language.
1. What We Collect (and Why)
We only gather whatās necessary to keep our hive buzzing smoothly:
When you shop with us or create an account:
- Name, email, billing/shipping address
- Payment info (handled securely by our payment processor)
When you join our mailing list:
- Your name and email address
When you visit our site:
- Basic technical data (like your browser type or general region) so the site runs properly and we can understand whatās working
We collect only what we need to:
- Process and confirm your orders
- Support your customer experience
- Occasionally share good news, seasonal updates, or sustainability stories ā but only if youāve opted in
You can unsubscribe from our newsletter anytime. Weāll still love you. š
2. How We Use Your Information
Your information helps us:
- Fulfill your orders and communicate about them
- Respond to your messages or support requests
- Improve our site and services
- Send occasional, gentle updates (if you said yes to that)
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with advertisers. Ever.
3. Legal Grounds (for Our EU/UK Friends)
If youāre in the European Union or the United Kingdom, we process your data under these legal bases:
- Contract: We need it to fulfill your order or provide a service you requested
- Consent: You gave us permission (like subscribing to emails)
- Legitimate interest: For basic site operations and customer support
You can withdraw consent anytime ā no sticky situations here.
4. Keeping Your Data Safe
We use trusted partners like Stripe or PayPal to handle payments securely, and we protect your data using encryption and limited access systems.
We only keep your info for as long as needed to:
- Complete your order
- Comply with legal or tax obligations
After that, itās securely deleted or anonymized.
5. Sharing Information (The Good Kind Only)
We may share limited data with partners who help us run our small business, like:
- Payment processors
- Shipping carriers
- Website hosting and analytics providers
These partners are carefully chosen and legally required to protect your data. They canāt use it for their own marketing or unrelated purposes.
6. Cookies and Beehive Tech
Our website uses cookies to make things work right ā like keeping your cart saved or remembering your preferences.
You can adjust your browser settings to limit or delete cookies, but some parts of our hive (website) might not work perfectly without them.
We donāt use creepy tracking cookies or sell behavioral data.
7. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you have the right to:
- Access or request a copy of your personal data
- Correct or update your information
- Request deletion (āthe right to be forgottenā)
- Withdraw consent or unsubscribe
- Lodge a complaint with your local data authority
To exercise any of these, please email privacy@hunniebumble.com and weāll take care of it with love and respect.
8. For Our Global Hive
Our website is hosted in the United States, but we welcome bees from around the world. By visiting, you agree that your data may be transferred and processed here with equivalent privacy protections.
9. Updates to This Policy
Sometimes we update this policy to stay current with best practices or legal requirements. Weāll always post the latest version here, with the ālast updatedā date clearly marked.
