Privacy Policy

Last updated 6 October 2026. SemperCreative3d is a sole proprietorship based in Tennessee, USA. Questions: russ@semper-creative.com.

The short version

This website is a few plain pages with no accounts. We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies. We also use Google Analytics and the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, which do use cookies. Visitors in Europe are asked first and nothing loads without their OK; everyone can switch them off with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. We also run a private tool that publishes our own product posts to our own social accounts; it holds our credentials, not yours.

This website

• We use Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel, which set cookies. See Cookies and your choice below.
• We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see how many people visit and which pages they look at. It sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device, and it does not build a profile of you or follow you to other sites. To count a visit, Cloudflare sees the usual details of a page request: the page address, the site that sent you here, your browser and device type, and your IP address, which it uses only to estimate your country. We see these only as totals, never as individual visitors.
• We do not ask for names, emails or payment details anywhere on this site.
• Our hosting provider records standard server logs, such as the requesting IP address, the page requested and the time, which are used to serve the site and keep it secure.
• Links to Etsy, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and other services take you to those companies, where their own privacy policies apply.

Cookies and your choice

If you're visiting from Europe (the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland, which we judge from your device's time zone), a banner asks first, and nothing from Google or Meta loads until you press "Accept". Press "No thanks" or ignore it, and neither is loaded.

Everywhere else, Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel load when you visit. You can switch them off at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page: choosing "No thanks" deletes their cookies from this site and stops both tools for as long as your browser remembers the choice.

Your choice is saved in your own browser (not as a cookie) so we don't ask on every page. When they are on, we load:

• Google Analytics (Google LLC). It sets cookies such as _ga to tell visits apart and records which pages you view, how you arrived (for example from Pinterest or a search), your approximate location, and your browser and device, including when you click through to buy on Etsy. We use it to see which products people like. IP addresses are not stored by Google Analytics 4. We have not linked it to Google advertising. Google's policy: policies.google.com/privacy; opt out everywhere with Google's opt-out add-on.
• Meta Pixel (Meta Platforms, Inc., owner of Facebook and Instagram). It sets cookies such as _fbp and tells Meta which pages and products you view here and when you click through to buy, so we can measure our Facebook and Instagram ads and show ads to people who have visited our site. Meta may combine this with what it already knows about you if you use Facebook or Instagram. We don't send Meta your name, email or any other contact details. Meta's policy: facebook.com/privacy/policy; control Meta ads in your Facebook ad preferences.

We don't sell your information. Google and Meta handle what they collect under their own policies above, and may process it outside your country, including in the United States.

If you buy something

Our products are sold through our Etsy shop. Etsy handles the order, the payment and the buyer's details under its own privacy policy; we see the information Etsy provides to a seller in order to make and ship an order, such as the name, delivery address and any personalisation notes. We use that only to complete the order and to answer messages about it, we keep it no longer than we need for our records, tax purposes and returns, and we do not sell it or use it for advertising. If you email us, we keep the email so we can reply.

Our social posting tool

We run a small private application, used only by the shop owner, that queues our own photos, videos and captions and publishes them to accounts we own on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. It is not a product, it is not available to the public, and no one else can sign in to it. In connection with it:

• We authorise the tool against our own Facebook Page, Instagram account and TikTok account, and it stores those access tokens on our own server so it can publish on our behalf.
• Through it we request only the permissions needed to publish our own content and to read our own account's basic profile information, so we can confirm we are connected to the right account.
• It publishes only our own photos, videos and captions about our own products. Location data is stripped from photos and videos before anything is published.
• It does not collect, store or process other people's personal information, it does not read your posts, messages, followers or private data, and it does not use any of this data to train machine-learning models.
• We do not sell, rent or share this data with anyone. Only the shop owner has access to the server.

Where our tool drafts caption wording, it sends the product photo and our own notes to an AI provider (Anthropic) purely to suggest text we then edit. No customer information is sent.

Deleting data, or disconnecting an account

You can email russ@semper-creative.com to ask what we hold about you, to correct it, or to ask us to delete it, and we will respond within 30 days. Where an order came through Etsy, some records are held by Etsy and are covered by Etsy's own policy and by the records we are required to keep.

The connections our posting tool uses are our own accounts, and we can revoke them at any time from the security settings of the relevant platform, which immediately ends its access and deletes the stored token.

When you send us a message

The contact form asks for your name, your email address and your message, plus an optional line saying which product you mean. We use them for one thing: to read what you sent and reply to you.

• Your message is not stored on this website. It is sent straight to the owner's phone as a notification through ntfy.sh, and it then lives in his phone and his email replies like any other message from a customer.
• Your IP address is used only to stop the form being used for spam (one message a minute), and is not kept.
• We never sell your details, add you to a mailing list, or pass them to anyone else.
• You can always email russ@semper-creative.com instead of using the form, and ask us to delete anything you have sent.

Children

This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes we will update this page and the date at the top.
