What we collect
- Email address, when you create an account.
- Password. Our Cloudflare-hosted account service stores only a salted password hash, never your password itself.
- Consent record: the date and time you signed up and the version of the terms you accepted.
- Campaign data: if you arrived from an ad, the UTM parameters or click ID in the link, so we can tell which ads work.
- Usage data: if analytics or advertising tags are enabled, your browser may send standard data such as pages viewed, device type, approximate location from IP address, and cookie identifiers to Google.
We do not collect payment information. Accounts and the sticker pack are free. We do not ask for your Telegram username or phone number.
How we use it
- To run your account and keep you signed in.
- To email you when the Thistle & Perch feeder launches, and to tell you its price and final specs before orders open.
- To send you the free sticker pack link on launch day.
- To send occasional Thistle & Perch news. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.
- To measure our advertising, for example counting sign-ups from a Google Ads campaign.
We do not sell your email address or share it with other companies for their own marketing.
Service providers
We use providers to run the Site and send email: our web host, our email provider, Cloudflare (sign-up, sign-in and account storage), and Google (Google Ads and Google Analytics). They process data on our behalf and only as needed to provide their service. Learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
The sticker pack is hosted on Telegram. When you open the "Add to Telegram" link, Telegram's own privacy policy applies. We do not receive data from Telegram about you.

How long we keep data
We keep your account until you delete it or ask us to. If you unsubscribe from emails, we stop emailing you but keep the account until you ask us to delete it.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
- Ask us to delete your account, or to access or correct your data, by emailing [email protected]. We respond within 30 days.
