Privacy Policy & Text Message Terms

FancyFlock ("we", "us") is a small silkie chicken breeder. This page explains what information we collect on fancyflocksilkies.com, how we use it, and the terms for our text message alerts. Questions? Email us at fancyflockinhudson@gmail.com.

What we collect

• What you give us on our sign-up form: your first name, email address, mobile number (only if you choose "Text me too"), and the birds and colors you're interested in.
• Your text message consent: if you sign up for texts, we keep a record of when you agreed, the page you agreed on, and the exact wording you agreed to.
• Orders: when you buy from our shop, your name, email, phone number and shipping address. Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
• Auction bidders: your first and last name, email and phone number, plus a card you save securely with Stripe so it can be charged if you win. We keep a record of your bids and of when you agreed to our auction terms.
• Basic technical information: like most websites, our web host may automatically log things like your IP address and browser type to keep the site running and secure.

How we use it

• To tell you when the silkies, hatching eggs or auctions you asked about are available.
• To send occasional farm news and updates, only if you asked for them.
• To send offers and discount codes, like 20% off your first order when you sign up with both your email and mobile number (not valid on auctions).
• To answer your questions and arrange pickups or orders.
• To process shop orders, and to charge an auction winner's saved card for their winning bid.

Who we share it with

We never sell or rent your information. We only share it with the services that help us run this website and send our emails and texts (such as our website host, our payment processor Stripe, and our email and text messaging providers). They may use it only to provide those services to us. We may also share information if the law requires it.

On our auction pages, the bid history shows only each bidder's first name and last initial.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text message opt-in data and consent are never shared with any third parties.

Emails

Every marketing email we send includes an unsubscribe link. You can also email us at any time to be removed from our list.

Text message terms (FancyFlock Alerts)

• What you'll get: FancyFlock Alerts are recurring automated marketing texts about silkie availability, auctions, offers and farm news.
• How you join: you only get texts if you check "Text me too" and enter your mobile number on our sign-up form. Agreeing to texts is never a condition of buying anything from us. Our 20% first-order discount is a thank-you for joining both our email and text lists, and you can cancel texts at any time.
• How often: message frequency varies, usually only when we have birds, eggs or auctions to announce.
• Cost: message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan.
• To stop: reply STOP to any text at any time. We'll send one message confirming you've been unsubscribed, and you won't get any more texts unless you sign up again.
• For help: reply HELP to any text, or email us at fancyflockinhudson@gmail.com.
• Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Your choices

You can ask us to show you, correct or delete the information we have about you at any time by emailing fancyflockinhudson@gmail.com.

Children

Our website is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you think a child has signed up, email us and we'll delete it.

Changes to this page

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
