1. Information We Collect
My Quiet Timber (“My Quiet Timber,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. By using our website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Others may be controlled through available cookie settings or browser controls.
Blocking cookies may cause portions of the website, including the shopping cart or checkout, to function incorrectly.

5. Analytics and Advertising
We may use analytics, social-media, or advertising services to understand website use and measure marketing performance. These providers may collect device identifiers, pages viewed, and interactions with advertisements through cookies or similar technologies.
We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. However, certain disclosures of cookie, device, or browsing information to advertising partners may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for targeted advertising under some privacy laws.
Where required by law, customers may request to opt out of qualifying uses by using available cookie controls or contacting us.

We may share personal information with the following parties when reasonably necessary.

- Parties involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, asset sale, or similar business transaction.

7. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to complete orders, provide customer service, maintain business and transaction records, meet tax, accounting, and legal requirements, resolve disputes, detect fraud, enforce agreements, and protect the security of our business.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. Payments are processed through authorized payment providers rather than stored directly by My Quiet Timber.
No online system, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Customers are responsible for protecting account credentials and notifying us of suspected unauthorized activity.
