# Privacy Policy

https://stigmaevoo.com/privacy-policy/

Privacy policy statement outlining how STIGMA EVOO collects, stores, protects, and uses customer personal data in accordance with EU GDPR regulations and international data protection standards.

## 1. Our Privacy Philosophy

**Precision in Privacy.** At STIGMA, we believe that your digital footprint should be as protected as our olive oil. We have engineered our website to provide a premium experience without compromising your anonymity. Our commitment is simple: **We do not track, collect, or sell your personal identifiable information.**

## 2. Analytics & Metrics (BuddyStat)

To understand how visitors interact with our "Stigma Journey," we use [**BuddyStat Analytics**](https://buddystat.com/). Unlike traditional tracking tools, BuddyStat is a privacy-first, lightweight solution that operates under the following technical standards:

- **No Cookies:** We do not use cookies to track your behavior across the web. You will not see any intrusive consent banners here because we respect your boundaries by default.
- **GDPR & CCPA Compliant:** All data is hosted on secure EU infrastructure (Germany).
- **Anonymization:** Your IP address is briefly processed to determine general geography (e.g., Xanthi, Greece) but is immediately anonymized using a privacy-friendly hash and daily rotating salts. We see "what" happens on our site, not "who" is doing it.

## 3. Server-Side Pixel Tracking

To optimize our logistics and marketing without sacrificing your speed or security, we utilize **Server-Side Pixel tracking**.

- Unlike browser-based tracking, this method processes data on our secure server, preventing third-party scripts from accessing your browser data.
- This ensures faster page loading times and a higher layer of security between your device and our technical infrastructure.

## 4. Payment Data (Stripe)

When you reach the final step of the Stigma experience (checkout), your payment details are handled exclusively by **Stripe**.

- STIGMA does not see or store your credit card numbers.
- Stripe’s encryption metrics ensure that your financial transaction is isolated and secure within their PCI-DSS Level 1 certified environment.

## 5. Information We Collect

The only personal data we retain is information you **explicitly provide** to us:

- **Order Information:** Name, shipping address, and email (required for the 24-hour bottling and dispatch protocol).
- **Newsletter:** Your email address, only if you opt-in to receive our harvest updates.

## 6. Your Rights

Even though we collect minimal data, you maintain full control. At any point, you may request to:

- Access the data associated with your orders.
- Request the deletion of your customer profile from our dispatch logs.
- Opt-out of our communication metrics.

**Infrastructure:** Hosted on secure EU-based servers.
