Privacy Policy
Your Information, Kept Simple
What I collect, why I collect it, and what you can do about it.
Kitchens by Rannes is a one-person business, run by me, Lars Rannes, in Ontario, Canada. This page explains what personal information I collect on kitchensbyrannes.com, why, and what you can do about it. I don’t sell, rent or trade your information to anyone.
What I collect and why
- When you buy something: your name, email, billing address and order details, so I can process your order, deliver your download or book your call, and keep records for taxes.
- When you contact me: your name, email and message (plus any photos you attach), so I can reply.
- When you leave a comment: the name and email you enter. Your comment and name are shown publicly; your email isn’t.
- If you join my email list: your email and name, so I can send you updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.
Payments
Payments are handled by Stripe and PayPal. I never see or store your full card details; they go directly to the payment provider.
Services I use
To run the site, some of your information is processed by these services, each with its own privacy policy:
- Stripe and PayPal: payments
- Kit (formerly ConvertKit): email list and order emails
- Google reCAPTCHA / Cloudflare Turnstile: spam protection on forms
- Akismet: spam filtering for comments
- YouTube: embedded videos, which may set YouTube cookies when you play them
Cookies
Cookies are small text files your browser stores when you visit a website. This is how kitchensbyrannes.com uses them:
- Essential: needed for the shopping cart, checkout and your account, and to remember your cookie choice. These are always on.
- Comments: remember your name and email if you leave a comment, so you don’t have to type them again.
- Spam protection: Google reCAPTCHA checks that forms are filled in by a person, not a bot.
- Order source: when you place an order, WooCommerce notes how you found the site (for example from YouTube or Google). This helps me see which videos and articles are useful.
- YouTube: embedded videos may set YouTube cookies when you play them.
I don’t use advertising cookies or trackers that follow you around the web.
On your first visit, a banner lets you accept or reject the non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time here: Cookie preferences. You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings, but the cart and checkout may not work without them.
