This website is owned and run by Story Cartel LLC. This page explains what information the website collects when you visit, why, and what you can do about it. If you have questions or requests, email [email protected].
When you join the waitlist
You give us your email address. It’s saved in our own client portal (sites.joebunting.com) and added to Kit, the service we use to send email (Kit’s privacy policy). We use it only to tell you when a spot opens or when there’s a sale. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to delete your address at any time.
Your browser also remembers whether you closed or filled in the signup box, so it doesn’t keep asking. That stays on your device.
When you use the contact form
Your name, email address and message are emailed to us so we can reply. They aren’t stored on this site. To keep out spam, Cloudflare Turnstile checks that you’re a person (Cloudflare’s privacy policy).
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to see which pages people read and how they find the site: pages visited, the site you came from, your approximate location, and your device and browser. It sets cookies to do this. We see totals, not who you are. Google’s privacy policy. You can block Google Analytics with Google’s opt-out add-on or your browser’s privacy settings.
On the websites we build
Authors whose sites we build can connect their own Instagram account to show their recent posts. When they do, we read that account’s username and recent posts (photo, caption, link, and date) and show a few photos on their site, each linking back to Instagram. We copy only the photos we show, refresh them once a day, and never post, comment, or read messages. The author can disconnect at any time in their site’s settings or by removing the app in Instagram, and we then delete the stored access and the copied photos.
The connection is stored on the author’s own site and protected with a key only that site holds. Cloudflare (our API) and Liquid Web (our hosting) process it on our behalf, in the United States. We don’t sell it or share it with anyone else, and we’d disclose it to a government or court only when legally required, telling the author first unless the law forbids it. To have it deleted, disconnect Instagram on the site, remove Story Cartel Sites in Instagram (Settings > Apps and websites), or email [email protected].
Hosting and security
The site is hosted by Liquid Web and protected by Cloudflare. Like every website, their servers see your IP address and keep standard logs to keep the site running and secure.
What we don’t do
We don’t sell or share your information, and there are no ads on this site.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time, and you can email [email protected] to see, correct or delete what we have about you.
