  • Contact details (name, email address, phone number).
  • Billing and shipping addresses for physical goods.
  • Payment information (processed securely via our trusted payment partners).
  • Course preferences and any dietary notes relevant to your class attendance.

2. How We Use Your Data

Your personal data is strictly used to provide our educational and retail services. We do not sell your information to third parties.

3. Cookies & Tracking

Our website utilizes essential functional cookies to maintain your active session, remember items placed in your shopping cart, and ensure secure checkout processes. We limit analytical tracking to basic, anonymized metrics to understand which pages—such as specific class schedules or method guides—are most visited by our students.

4. Data Retention & Your Rights

We retain your contact and order history only as long as necessary to comply with legal tax obligations and to provide ongoing support for your fermentation journey.
