Privacy Policy
Messy Woodworks / The Messy Woodworker
Last updated: October 3, 2026
We respect your privacy and use the information you provide only to respond to you and assist with your request.
Information You Provide
When you contact us, we receive your name, email address, and any other information you choose to include, such as project ideas or personalization details. We use this information to answer questions, discuss custom work, and provide customer support. Contacting us does not subscribe you to marketing emails.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with other businesses or individuals for their own use or marketing. Your contact details and private messages are not published.
Our website hosting and email providers process information as needed to operate the website and deliver messages. We may also disclose information when required by law.
Photos of Custom Work
We may share photos of completed custom or personalized items on our website, in our portfolio, and on our social media channels. These photos may show first names, team names, or other personalization included in the design.
Before posting, we blur or conceal last names and any full names or other details that could specifically identify a child.
If you prefer that your item not be photographed or shared, please let us know when requesting custom work. You may also contact us later to request removal of a photo from channels we control.
Storage and Security
We retain messages and related information only as long as needed to handle your request, maintain necessary business records, or meet legal obligations. We take reasonable steps to protect this information, although no online transmission or storage system is completely secure.
Our hosting provider may maintain standard technical logs, such as IP addresses and browser information, to operate and protect the website.
Etsy and Other Websites
Our website links to Etsy and social media platforms. Information you provide directly to those services is governed by their own privacy policies. Etsy purchases are also covered by our Etsy shop privacy policy.
Questions and Requests
To ask a privacy question, request a correction or deletion of information you submitted, or request photo removal, please use our website’s contact form. We will honor requests where possible, subject to any required recordkeeping.
We may update this policy when our practices change. The latest version will appear on this page.
