Privacy

Privacy policy

Effective: August 29, 2026

This policy describes the current data practices of asianamericandaddy.com (the “Site”). It is written to match the services the Site actually uses rather than features it may add someday.

Information you choose to provide

If you email hello@asianamericandaddy.com, the Site's editor receives the address, message, and any information you include. The Site has no public account system, comments, or newsletter signup.

Digital purchases through Stripe

The Site links to Stripe-hosted checkout for digital products, including the Plant Rescue Pack, AAD Plant Coloring Library, and printable plant tools. Stripe may collect contact, transaction, payment, billing, location, device, and usage information under its own privacy policy. Stripe processes payment details and may provide receipts; the Site's protected delivery flow provides access after successful payment.

Stripe provides the seller with buyer and transaction information needed to deliver the purchase, confirm the license, provide support, address fraud or disputes, and handle refund requests. This may include a purchaser's name, email address, product, price, date, payment identifier, and transaction status. The Site's editor does not receive a purchaser's full payment-card number.

Where applicable data-protection law uses controller and processor roles, Stripe and the Site's publisher may have different roles for different processing activities, as described in Stripe's policy and the parties' applicable service terms.

Hosting and technical logs

The Site is delivered through Cloudflare's network using Workers Static Assets. Like other hosting and security providers, Cloudflare may process request data such as IP address, device and browser information, requested URL, timestamps, and security signals to deliver and protect the Site. Cloudflare's handling is governed by its privacy policy.

Google AdSense and advertising technology

The Site includes Google AdSense verification and ad code. Ads may appear only if Google approves and activates the Site. If advertising is active, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, local storage, IP addresses, and similar identifiers to deliver, measure, limit, or personalize advertising where permitted.

Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can manage ad personalization in Google My Ad Center.

The Site uses Google's certified Privacy & messaging consent solution for visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland. Available choices must be honored, and advertising should remain limited or disabled when a required consent signal is absent. On any written guide, eligible visitors can use “Privacy and cookie settings” in the footer to reopen Google's European-regulations message and review or withdraw a choice.

Privacy-conscious analytics

The Site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand page views and page performance. Its browser beacon loads from Cloudflare. Cloudflare states that Web Analytics does not use cookies or local storage and does not fingerprint people for usage measurement. Cloudflare still processes the ordinary network request used to deliver the beacon and receive its measurement, subject to the hosting practices described above.

The Site also uses a small first-party funnel counter on deployments where its aggregate database is enabled. It counts source landings, product-page views, clicks from an article to an onsite product, checkout starts, and returns after a canceled checkout. The browser sends only an allowlisted event name, normalized onsite path, product key, coarse source category, and placement category. It does not send a full referring URL, query string, email address, order or payment information, IP address, browser user-agent string, or a visitor or session identifier in that event body.

The funnel counter does not use cookies, local storage, session storage, or fingerprinting. To resist automated abuse, Cloudflare briefly uses a one-way representation of the request address for an edge rate limit; the receiving code never copies that address or a user-agent string into the analytics database. It immediately increments a daily aggregate total and keeps no raw-event table. This design can compare broad steps in the purchase path but cannot identify a person or reconstruct an individual's journey. The store keeps the current UTC date plus the previous 399 UTC dates, for at most 400 daily buckets, and removes earlier rows as new counts are processed. If the aggregate database is unavailable or measurement is explicitly disabled for a build, the browser sends no usable funnel data.

Why information is processed

To deliver, secure, and troubleshoot the Site.
To respond to email and correction requests.
To fulfill digital purchases, provide licensed access and support, and administer refunds or disputes.
To understand aggregate readership, page performance, and whether onsite product paths are useful.
To verify the Site with AdSense and, if approved, deliver advertising consistent with applicable choices.
To comply with law and protect the rights and safety of the Site and its users.

Retention and sharing

Email, order, and delivery records are retained only as long as reasonably useful for support, licensing, refunds, accounting, tax, security, dispute, or legal obligations. The first-party funnel store keeps at most 400 UTC daily buckets: the current date and the previous 399 dates. Earlier rows are deleted when a new count is processed, and the operator runbook requires a manual purge if measurement is disabled or retired. Because the rows are aggregate counts with no visitor identifier, they cannot be retrieved as an individual browsing record. Cloudflare Web Analytics, Stripe, hosting, delivery, and advertising providers set their own retention periods. Information may be disclosed when required by law or reasonably necessary to prevent abuse, fraud, or harm. The Site does not sell email correspondence or build advertising audiences from a reader's race or ethnicity.

Your choices

You can block analytics scripts or requests through your browser or content-blocking tools, block or delete cookies, use Google's advertising controls, or decline an available consent request. The Site's analytics do not set an analytics opt-out cookie because they do not use client-side storage. For email or purchase information controlled by the publisher, contact hello@asianamericandaddy.com to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection where applicable. The publisher may verify identity and retain records required for accounting, tax, fraud prevention, security, disputes, or law. Requests concerning data Stripe or Cloudflare controls for its own purposes must also follow those providers' available controls and policies.

Children

The Site is written for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. Some coloring products may be used by families, but checkout is intended for an adult purchaser. The Site does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
