Privacy Policy
Last updated: 1 December 2026
This policy explains what personal information The 1955 Pantry collects when you visit the1955pantry.com, place an order, or use your member area, what we do with it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. The business responsible for your information is named in section 11.
1. What we collect
What you give us:
- Your name and email address, when you order or ask for your login link.
- Your phone number, if you choose to enter it.
- Your shipping address, when your order includes a physical edition.
- What you bought, when, and for how much.
- Anything you save in your member area, such as checklists, notes and worksheet answers.
- Messages you send us.
Payment details: your card is handled by our payment processor, Stripe. We never see or store your full card number. We receive the card type, its last four digits and whether the payment went through.
What we collect automatically:
- Your IP address and the approximate town and country it points to.
- Your browser and device type.
- The pages you visit, and the ad or link that brought you here, including ad click identifiers.
- In your member area, which lessons you open and how far you get.
- Cookie and similar identifiers (section 6).
2. How we use it
- To take payment, deliver your digital products, and ship your physical editions.
- To run your Pantry Club membership, including trial and renewal reminders.
- To answer your questions and handle refunds.
- To spot and stop fraud and card testing.
- To measure which pages and ads work, so we spend less reaching the right people.
- To keep the records that tax and consumer law require.
3. Email
We send emails you need about your order and your membership: receipts, access, shipping updates, trial and renewal reminders. We may also send emails about the pantry, the book and our other products. Every one of those has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing never stops the emails about your order.
4. Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share it only with the companies that help us run The 1955 Pantry, and only what each one needs:
- Stripe, which processes payments and screens them for fraud.
- Vercel, which hosts this site.
- Neon, which hosts our customer database.
- The service providers that send our emails, schedule our reminders and alert us to errors on the site.
- For a physical order, our print and shipping partner and the postal carrier, who receive your name, shipping address and what to send.
This site does not currently load any third-party advertising or analytics tags. If that changes, we will name each one here before it goes live.
We may also disclose information where the law requires it, or to protect our customers and our business from fraud.
5. Your advertising choices
Some US state laws treat sharing information with advertising platforms, so that they can show you ads, as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. You can opt out of that at any time:
- Turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser. When your browser sends that signal, we do not load advertising tags and we do not send your information to advertising platforms.
- Use the cookie banner on this site to decline advertising cookies.
- Email support@the1955pantry.com with the subject "Do not sell or share my information" and we will act on it.
- Block or clear cookies in your browser, and review the ad settings in your Meta and Google accounts.
6. Cookies
We use cookies and similar browser storage to keep you signed in to your member area, to remember what is in your order between pages, to measure which pages and ads work, and, where you allow it, to support advertising. Blocking cookies will not stop you buying, but it will sign you out of the member area.
7. How long we keep it
- Order and payment records: for as long as tax and accounting law requires.
- Records of what you agreed to when you started a membership: at least three years, so we can show them if a charge is ever questioned.
- Your account and member-area data: while you are a customer, and until you ask us to delete it.
- Marketing email: until you unsubscribe.
- Technical and security logs: kept for a short period, then deleted.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you can ask us to:
- Tell you what personal information we hold about you, and give you a copy.
- Correct information that is wrong.
- Delete your information, except records the law requires us to keep.
- Stop using your information for targeted advertising (section 5).
- Stop sending you marketing email.
Email support@the1955pantry.com from the address you ordered with. We reply within 45 days, and we will never charge you more or treat you differently for using these rights. If we cannot do what you ask, we explain why, and you can ask us to look at it again by replying to that email.
9. Keeping it safe
Our site runs on encrypted connections, payments go through Stripe, and access to customer records is limited to the people who need it. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot promise that nothing will ever go wrong. If a breach affects your information, we will tell you as the law requires.
10. Children
Our site and products are for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has given us information, email us and we will delete it.
11. Who we are
- The Publishing House LLC, 1111B S Governors Ave, Dover, DE 19904, United States
- support@the1955pantry.com
We are based in the United States and store your information with US service providers.
We may update this policy. When we do, we change the "Last updated" date above, and if a change affects how we use information we already hold, we email you before it applies.
