Privacy policy

I collect only what I need to send your cards, and I never sell your data. Here’s the full picture.

1. Who this applies to
This policy applies to anyone who visits monthlypost.com, sendyouraloha.com, or sealightprintshop.com, or who buys from me. These sites are operated by Sea Light Studios, Inc., doing business as Sea Light Print Shop, The Monthly Post, and Send Your Aloha, based in Hawaiʻi. Contact: aloha@monthlypost.com.

2. What I collect
When you place an order, I collect:

  • Your name and shipping address
  • Your email address and, if you provide it, your phone number
  • Payment information, processed securely by Shopify Payments. I never see or store your full card number.
  • Order details and membership type

If you buy a gift, I also collect your recipient’s name and shipping address and use them only to send their cards.

When you visit my sites, I automatically collect standard technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, time zone, the pages you view, and how you found the site, through cookies, log files, and similar tools. I call this “device information.”

If you use the voice feature, I also collect the audio you record (see section 7).

3. How I use it

  • To process, ship, and support your order or membership
  • To send order confirmations, shipping updates, and membership messages such as renewal reminders
  • To answer your questions
  • To send marketing emails, only if you opt in. You can unsubscribe anytime.
  • To prevent fraud and keep my sites secure
  • To understand how my sites are used, improve them, and measure my marketing

4. Cookies and tracking
My sites use cookies, which are small files stored in your browser, to keep your cart working, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. You can turn off cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work properly. I don’t change my data practices in response to a browser “Do Not Track” signal.

5. Analytics and advertising
I use analytics tools, such as Shopify’s built-in analytics and Google Analytics, to understand how my sites perform. I may also advertise on platforms like Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and Google. This can involve tracking pixels that help measure ads and show them to relevant people, and it may include sharing limited information, like a hashed email or device identifier, with these platforms.

You can opt out of interest-based advertising here:

  • Digital Advertising Alliance: optout.aboutads.info
  • Meta / Facebook: facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads
  • Google: google.com/settings/ads
  • Google Analytics: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

6. Who I share it with
I never sell, rent, or trade your personal information. I share it only with the services I need to run the business:

  • Shopify, my store and payment processor (shopify.com/legal/privacy)
  • My subscription billing app, which manages recurring payments and your account
  • USPS, to deliver your cards
  • My email platform, to send order, membership, and marketing emails
  • My app’s hosting provider, which stores voice recordings
  • Analytics and advertising partners such as Google and Meta, as described in section 5

I may also share information to comply with the law, respond to a lawful request, or protect my rights. Each provider has its own privacy practices.

7. The Writing Room and voice recordings
Your membership includes The Writing Room, a guided writing space, and a voice feature that lets you record yourself reading your note so your recipient can hear it.

The Writing Room. The Writing Room offers questions to help you begin your note, and you write the note itself by hand on your card. I don’t store anything you write, and nothing you type is sent to my servers. No account or login is needed, because access comes through the code on your monthly mailer. If you tap the heart to save a favorite question, it’s kept only in your own browser.

Voice recordings. When you use the voice feature, your recording is uploaded to private, non-public cloud storage. Recordings can’t be browsed or searched, and playback happens through a temporary link created each time your card is scanned. I use recordings only to provide this feature, never for advertising. I keep them for as long as I offer the feature, and you can ask me to delete yours anytime at aloha@monthlypost.com.

Please keep your own copy. If a recording matters to you, use the “Keep this voice” option to save a copy to your device. The voice feature is a convenience, not a backup or archive. I can’t guarantee any recording will stay available forever, and I’m not responsible for recordings that become unavailable, lost, or corrupted, for example because of technical issues or changes to the feature.

8. Your rights
You can ask me to:

  • Send you a copy of the personal information I hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Delete your information, unless I’m legally required to keep it

You can also unsubscribe from marketing emails anytime using the link in any email. To make a request, email aloha@monthlypost.com.

9. California residents
If you live in California, you have the right to know what personal information I collect, to ask me to delete it, and to opt out of its “sale” or “sharing.” I don’t sell personal information. Because I use advertising pixels, some data practices may count as “sharing” for advertising under California law. You can opt out using the tools in section 5 or by emailing me. I won’t treat you differently for using these rights.

10. Visitors outside the U.S.
I ship only within the United States, but my sites may be visited from elsewhere. If you’re in the EU or UK, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your information. I process your information to fulfill my agreement with you or for legitimate business purposes, and it’s processed in the United States.

11. Keeping your data
I keep order information for my records until you ask me to delete it, except where I’m required to keep it, for example for tax or legal reasons. All payments go through Shopify’s secure, encrypted checkout, and I don’t store card information. No system is perfectly secure, but I take reasonable steps to protect your information.

12. Children
My sites aren’t directed to children under 13, and I don’t knowingly collect their information.

13. Changes to this policy
I may update this policy as my practices or the law change. Any changes will be posted here with a new date.

14. Questions
If you have questions about your privacy, or want to make a request or complaint, email me at aloha@monthlypost.com.
