Privacy

How we keep your trust.

The shortest version: we collect only what we need, never sell it, and let you ask us to delete it anytime.

What we collect

  • Email addresses you give us — newsletter, donations, bookings, contact forms.
  • Payment metadata (name, email, amount, program) for donations and print purchases — full card data is held only by Stripe, never by us.
  • Page views, anonymized via a daily-rotating hash of your IP. No cookies. No third-party trackers.
  • Optional voice testimonials you submit on the "Voices of Humanity" page.

What we don't do

  • Sell or rent your data. Ever.
  • Send promotional email without permission.
  • Track you across other websites.
  • Train third-party AI models on your messages.

Stripe (payments)

All payments are processed by Stripe. We receive only payment confirmation and basic donor details. Stripe's privacy policy applies to card data.

Cookies

We don't set tracking cookies. We use `localStorage` to remember your preferred language and chat conversation — both stay on your device.

Your rights

You may request a copy of your data or its deletion at any time by emailing hello@cowrieking.com. We respond within 14 days.

Children

We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. Photographs of minors are taken with verifiable guardian consent and may be removed on request.
