Privacy policy
Last updated: 2026-05-04.
We do not want to know more about you than we need to know in order to send you a t-shirt.
What we collect
When you place an order:
- Contact details: name, shipping address, billing address, email, optional phone number.
- Payment information: handled by Stripe. We never see your full card number — Stripe sends us a token and the last four digits for our records.
- Order history: what you bought, when, and where it shipped.
When you visit the site:
- Anonymous traffic data via Plausible Analytics: which pages were viewed, what country they came from, and the referring site. Plausible does not use cookies and does not collect personal information.
When you create an account (optional):
- The same fields above, plus a hashed password. We never see your password in plaintext.
Why we collect it
To process your order, ship it to the right address, contact you about it, and run the basic numbers (e.g., "the FAQ page is more popular than the about page").
Who we share it with
Only the third parties who actually need a piece of the data to do their job:
- Stripe — payment processing.
- Printify — fulfillment and shipping (your shipping address, the items, your email for shipping notifications).
- Resend — transactional email delivery (your email and the email contents).
- Cloudflare — DNS and DDoS protection (your IP address, like every other site you visit).
We do not sell your data, share it with marketers, or use it to train any model. We do not run ads.
Cookies
Required for the cart and checkout to function. We do not run third-party ad cookies. The session cookie is set when you visit and cleared when your session ends or after 30 days, whichever is first.
Your rights
- Access: email us and we will send you everything we have associated with your email.
- Correction: same.
- Deletion: same — note that we keep order records for the period required by US tax law (currently seven years), but we can scrub everything else.
- Portability: we can export your order history as JSON.
For all of the above: hello@rtcetc.com.
Children
This site is not directed at anyone under 13. We do not knowingly collect data about children. If you believe we have, email us and we will delete it.
Changes
If this policy changes materially we will note it at the top of the page and email customers who have an account.
