Privacy Policy

Imagine you buy something online and then weird stuff starts to happen. You buy a pair of shoes then all of a sudden you start getting junk emails trying to sell you a timeshare in Boca. Normally you'd just shrug it off, but you notice that in the timeshare emails your name is misspelled. In fact, it is misspelled exactly how you accidentally misspelled it when you ordered those shoes to wear to your sister's wedding last Spring. And that marriage didn't even last. They're 8 months into a bitter divorce and now you've tried 12 times to unsubscribe from this timeshare email which has now arrived 4 times a week since before the unlucky couple even said "I Do."

"But, Crafty, how does that happen? This makes no sense! How is all this related?"

Well, the unscrupulous folks over at the Acme Shoe Co. in Nowheretown, FL (is that even a real place?) likely sold your info for a buck or two. Their Privacy Policy, if they even have one is likely nonsense, and they don't even abide by it.

I won't do that to you. And yes, I say "I" instead of "We" because Craftyishus Jewelry is really just 1 little ole person in Dallas, TX, USA (a real place, look it up!), and I don't make my money selling your personal info to Bob in Boca, for 2 reasons: I don't know how to, and it's wrong anyway. It's bad business.

I'd rather eat ramen and be broke forever than sell your info to make a quick buck. And I bet it probably wouldn't even be quick. I'd probably have to like wait for an ACH from some bank in Smallcheckistan. I don't know - I'm just guessing, because like I said, I don't know how to sell your data. And I don't want to. I wonder if it has to do with spinning a sign on the side of the road, like those people who spin signs out in front of those tax prep places during tax season.

Anyway, thank you for reading this far. I know people usually don't read Privacy Policy pages, and they're usually full of legal mumbo jumbo. (The Privacy Policy pages, not the people who aren't reading them.) So carry on, kind human, and know that if you get an invite to attend a 3 hour meeting that could win you a cruise, it didn't come from your info you gave me. Also, don't go to the meeting. It's just a horrid sales pitch, the lunch will likely make you sick, and cruises are cesspools of disease and horror stories.

Buy jewelry instead. Love you!
