Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

The Nerdy Bee is an independent monthly subscription service delivering original poetry, art, and nature-themed goodies by physical mail. We are a small, independent creative business.

Questions about this policy? Contact us at [email protected].

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information we need to run your subscription:

Information	Why We Collect It
Full name	To address your envelope and personalize your handwritten note
Mailing address	To ship your monthly envelope to you
Email address	To send shipping notifications and account communications
Payment information	To process your subscription (handled securely by our payment processor — we never store card numbers)
IP address / browser info	Automatically collected by our website platform for security and analytics

We do not collect sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, government IDs, or health information.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information only to:

• Process and fulfill your monthly subscription shipments
• Charge your payment method on your billing cycle
• Send you shipping confirmations and important account notices
• Respond to questions or support requests you send us
• Send occasional updates about The Nerdy Bee (you can opt out anytime)

We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Who We Share Information With

We share your information only with trusted service providers who help us operate:

• Payment processor (e.g., Stripe) — to securely process your subscription payments. They are bound by their own privacy policies and do not use your data for any other purpose.
• Shipping carrier (e.g., USPS) — your name and mailing address are shared only to deliver your envelope.
• Website & CRM platform (GoHighLevel) — to manage your account, subscription, and communications.

All third parties we work with are required to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.

5. Physical Mail & Your Address

Because The Nerdy Bee is a physical mail subscription, your mailing address is essential to our service. It is used solely to send your monthly envelope. We do not share your address with any party other than our shipping carrier.

Please keep your address up to date in your account. If you cancel your subscription, we will stop mailing to your address. We do not retain your address for any purpose after your subscription ends.

6. Cookies

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to keep the site functioning properly and to understand how visitors use it. We use:

• Essential cookies: Required for the website and checkout to work.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand which pages are visited most so we can improve the site. No personal information is tied to analytics data.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the site (like checkout) may not work correctly without them.

7. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your subscription is active and for a reasonable period afterward for accounting and legal purposes. If you would like your data deleted, please contact us and we will honor that request within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain certain records.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct any inaccurate information
• Delete your personal data (subject to legal obligations)
• Opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link
• Port your data — receive a copy of your data in a common format

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. Payments are processed by a PCI-compliant payment provider — we never see or store your full card number.

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children's Privacy

The Nerdy Bee is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with their information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of your subscription after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
