How to reach us

You can text us at (855) 832-8280 or use the form on our contact page. We answer every privacy request within 45 days.

What we collect

Information you give us

Orders include your name, email, phone number, shipping address, billing address and the items you buy.

Our email list keeps the email address you sign up with and the page where you signed up.

Text messages need your mobile number, and we keep the date and wording of the permission you gave us.

The contact form sends us your name, email, order number and message.

Community photos include your photo, first name and email, plus any Instagram handle, town, state and caption you choose to add. We keep a record of the permission you gave, and of the parent or guardian permission when kids are in the photo.

Information collected automatically

Device details include your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit on our site.

Shopping activity includes the products you view, the items you add to your cart and the checkouts you start.

Ad details include the UTM tags in the link you clicked and the Meta click ID when you arrive from a Facebook or Instagram ad.

We keep our own visit log on our own servers. It records the pages you open, the items you add to your cart, the checkouts you start and the ad or email link that brought you here. Each entry carries a random visitor number in place of your name, and the log does not store your IP address.

When you sign up, send us a message or place an order, we connect that visitor number to it. That is how we learn which ad or email led to an order.

Your browser stores a few small files for us. One cookie and one saved entry remember your cart for up to a year, so it is still there when you come back. Another pair holds your random visitor number. Your browser also remembers the email and phone number you typed in the cart, to save you time on your next order. The Meta pixel sets two cookies named _fbp and _fbc that help measure our ads.

Information from our partners

Stripe tells us whether a payment went through, and it shares the name, email, phone number and addresses you entered at checkout. We never see or store your full card number.

Printify tells us when your order prints and leaves for delivery, and it sends us the tracking details.

How we use it

We use your information to make and deliver your orders and to handle size exchanges and replacements.

We send order emails and texts, like receipts and tracking updates.

We send marketing emails and texts only when you asked to receive them.

If you start checkout and leave before paying, we may send you one email with a link back to your cart.

We show approved community photos on our site, social media and ads with your first name, as your permission allows.

After you order, our store may show other shoppers a short notice with your first name, your city and the item you bought. That notice never shows your last name, your address or your email. Text us or use the contact form at any time, and we will leave your orders out of those notices.

We measure which ads work and show our ads to people who are likely to enjoy our gear.

We use it to stop fraud, spam and abuse, and to meet our tax and legal duties.

Meta pixel and Conversions API

We advertise on Facebook and Instagram, which both belong to Meta. Our site uses two Meta tools to measure those ads.

The Meta pixel is a small piece of code on our store pages. It tells Meta when someone views a page, views a product, adds an item to the cart, starts checkout, completes a purchase or joins our email list. Each of these events can include your IP address, browser details, the page address and the Meta cookies described above.

The Conversions API sends the same events from our server straight to Meta. It keeps our ad reports accurate when a browser blocks the pixel. Each event carries an ID, so Meta counts it only once.

For checkouts, purchases and email sign ups, our server may also send your email, phone number, name, city, state, zip code and country, along with the order total and the product IDs. We hash these personal details with SHA 256 before they leave our server, which turns each one into a scrambled code. Meta compares those codes with its own records to connect the event to a Facebook or Instagram account. We never send Meta your card details, your street address or your messages.

We connect our store to Meta through a system user in our Meta business account. A system user is a service account that belongs to our business and not to any person. Our server uses its access token to send the events described above, and we use it to manage our ad campaigns and read our ad results. That token stays on our servers and never appears in your browser.

Our Meta app also lets our system user manage our Facebook Page and Instagram account, including posts, comments and messages. When you comment on or message our Page or Instagram account, we see your public profile name and what you wrote, and we use it to reply to you.

The same app keeps our product catalog in sync with Meta, so our products can appear in Facebook and Instagram ads. The catalog holds product names, prices, photos and links, and it never includes customer information.

We may use software tools, including AI assistants, that connect through this app to help us build ads and read ad results. These tools work with ad and product data, and they do not receive your order details.

We may also use our Meta business account to upload a hashed list of customer emails and phone numbers. Meta uses that list under its Custom Audience terms to show our ads to past customers or to people with similar interests.

Meta handles the information it receives under its own privacy policy at facebook.com/privacy/policy. You can control the ads you see in your Facebook or Instagram ad preferences.

Who we share it with

We share only what each partner needs to do its job.

Stripe processes payments, works out sales tax and checks for fraud.

Printify and its print partners make your order, and they share your name, shipping address, email and phone number with the carrier that delivers it.

HighLevel, also known as LeadConnector, keeps our customer records and sends our emails and texts.

Roezan sends some of our text messages through HighLevel.

Lovable hosts our website and our database.

Meta receives the ad events described in the section above.

We may also share information when the law requires it, to protect our rights or our customers, or as part of a sale or merger of our business.

We do not sell your personal information for money. Some state laws treat ad tracking like ours as selling or sharing personal data for targeted ads. You can turn that off at any time with the switch in the next section.

Your choices

The switch above turns off ad tracking in this browser. It stops the Meta pixel and our server events for this browser and clears the Meta cookies. It also stops our own visit log and the visitor number for this browser. It only applies to this browser on this device, so please repeat it on your other devices.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a request to turn off ad tracking and our visit log.

Your cart cookie stays on either way, because the cart needs it to work.

You can leave our email list with the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any marketing email.

You can stop our texts at any time by replying STOP.

Your browser settings let you block or delete cookies whenever you like.

Your Facebook and Instagram ad preferences let you control the ads Meta shows you.

Text messages

When you agree to get texts from MN Bucks, we text you about your orders, new drops and sales. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to end texts at any time, or reply HELP for help. You never have to agree to texts to buy from us.

We do not share your mobile number or your text consent with any third party or affiliate for their marketing. The sharing described in this policy never includes text message opt in data or consent, and we will not share that information with any third party.

See, fix or delete your information

You can ask us to show you the information we keep about you, correct it, delete it or send you a copy. Text (855) 832-8280 or use our contact page, and include the email or phone number you used with us. We will confirm the request with you and answer within 45 days.

We keep the order records that tax and accounting rules require, even after a deletion request. Information Meta already received follows Meta's rules. You can review and clear it in the Your activity off Meta technologies setting in your Facebook or Instagram account.

If we turn down your request, you can appeal by replying to our answer. We will respond to an appeal within 45 days. Minnesota residents can also contact the Minnesota Attorney General about our answer.

Community photos

We only post a photo after we review and approve it. We remove location and camera data from every photo before we store it, and we keep the IP address of each upload to stop spam. A parent or guardian has to give permission before we post a photo that shows kids. You can ask us to take your photo down at any time by texting (855) 832-8280.

How long we keep it

We keep order records as long as tax and accounting rules require, which is usually seven years.

We keep your email and phone number on our lists until you unsubscribe. After that, we keep a record of the opt out so we do not contact you again.

The Meta _fbp cookie lasts 90 days unless you clear it sooner.

We keep everything else only as long as we need it for the reasons in this policy.

Security

Every page on our site uses HTTPS encryption. Stripe handles every card payment, so card numbers never reach our servers. Only approved team members can open our store admin, and each login needs a password plus a code from an authenticator app. No system is perfect, so please text us right away if you think something is wrong.

Children

Our store is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. A parent who thinks we hold a child's information can text us, and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

When we update this policy, we will post the new version on this page and update the date at the top.
