Privacy Policy

This policy is being finalised. Items in [brackets] are pending the owner's approval.

Last updated: [DATE]

1. Who we are

GAS TEK ("we", "us") runs the website at gastekcanna.com and the brand-updates list offered there. Legal entity: [LEGAL NAME]. Privacy contact: [PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL]. Mailing address: [ADDRESS].

2. What this policy covers

This policy explains what we collect when you visit the site, pass the age confirmation, or join the brand-updates list. It does not cover other websites. The "No" button on the age confirmation links to google.com, and that site has its own privacy policy.

3. Information you give us

Brand-updates list. When you join, we collect:

  • your email address;
  • the date and time you joined (UTC);
  • your confirmation that you are 21 or older and want brand updates;
  • the version of the consent wording you were shown.

We store your email address in our database. We also store a one-way fingerprint (a SHA-256 hash) of it, so the same address cannot be added twice. The site itself does not send email. Messages are sent through [NEWSLETTER PROVIDER, or "none yet"].

We do not ask for any other personal information.

4. Information collected automatically

  • Server logs. Our hosting provider, [HOSTING PROVIDER], keeps standard request logs. These can include your IP address, the time, the pages requested, your browser type and the page you came from. The provider keeps them for [PROVIDER RETENTION PERIOD].
  • Spam protection. When someone submits the signup form, we keep a temporary, keyed fingerprint of their IP address. It expires after 10 minutes and limits repeated submissions. We do not store the raw IP address with signup records.
  • Browser storage. See section 6.

5. How we use information

  • To send brand updates to people who asked for them.
  • To confirm visitors are 21 or older before the site content is shown.
  • To prevent duplicate entries, spam and automated abuse.
  • To run, secure and fix the website.
  • To respond to privacy requests and meet legal obligations.

6. Cookies and browser storage

  • <strong>gastek_age_ok</strong> (Cookie). Set when: You confirm you are 21 or older. How long: 1 year. Purpose: Remembers the confirmation so the gate does not reappear..
  • <strong>gastek_age_ok</strong> (Browser local storage). Set when: You confirm you are 21 or older. How long: Until you clear it. Purpose: Same purpose, as a backup when cookies are blocked..
  • <strong>gastek-motion</strong> (Browser local storage). Set when: You use the motion control. How long: Until you clear it. Purpose: Remembers whether animations are paused..
  • <strong>gastek_signup_result</strong> (Cookie (not readable by scripts)). Set when: You submit the signup form without JavaScript. How long: 10 minutes. Purpose: Lets your own browser show the confirmation once..

The site does not use advertising or analytics cookies. [OWNER/TECH TO CONFIRM before publishing.]

7. Third-party services

  • Hosting: [HOSTING PROVIDER] hosts the website and stores the signup records.
  • Fonts: The site loads its fonts from Adobe Fonts. When your browser loads them, Adobe receives technical details such as your IP address and browser type. Adobe's privacy terms apply.
  • Email: [NEWSLETTER PROVIDER]. Remove this line until a provider is chosen.

[OWNER TO CONFIRM: We do not sell personal information, and we share it only with the providers above or when the law requires. Counsel to check against New York and any other state law that applies to visitors.]

8. How long we keep information

  • Signup records: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them. [OWNER: any fixed retention period.]
  • Signup spam fingerprint: 10 minutes.
  • Cookies and browser storage: as listed in section 6.
  • Server logs: as set by the hosting provider, section 4.

9. Your choices

  • Unsubscribe: Every brand-update message will include an unsubscribe link. [ONLY TRUE ONCE A NEWSLETTER PROVIDER IS SET UP.] You can also ask us directly at [PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL].
  • Access and deletion: Email [PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL] to ask what we hold about you or to ask us to delete it. We respond within [TIMEFRAME]. We may need to confirm your identity first.
  • Cookies and storage: Clear them in your browser settings. Clearing the age cookie means the confirmation appears again.
  • Motion: The site's motion control pauses animations.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS), limits on administrator access, and limits on repeated submissions. No website or database can be guaranteed secure.

11. Age

The site and the brand-updates list are for people 21 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 21. If you believe someone under 21 has given us information, contact [PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL] and we will delete it.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date will change when we do. [OWNER: how material changes will be announced.]
