WILD BUDS Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2025 

Welcome to WILD BUDS! 

We care about your privacy, especially the privacy of kids and families who enjoy our products. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect personal information from adults and children who visit our website, shop with us, or interact with our brand. 

By using our website or services, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Who We Are 

WILD BUDS (“we,” “us,” or “our”) makes shelf-stable food products designed for families and kids. We operate this website and related services to sell products, share information, and build a community around healthy, fun eating. 

We take special care when collecting or managing information from children under 13 and comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). 

2. What Information We Collect 

We collect information to help us deliver our products, improve our site, and communicate with families — always responsibly and with care. 

Information from Parents or Guardians 

We may collect: 

  • Contact details such as name, email address, and shipping/billing address.
  • Payment information, processed securely through our payment partners (we do not store full credit card details). 
  • Order history and preferences for your household. 
  • Communications sent to our customer support team. 

Information from Children (Under 13) 

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children without verifiable parental consent. If we ever offer an activity (like a contest, recipe submission, or art upload) where a child might share personal information, we will: 

  • Clearly explain what information is being collected and how it will be used;
  • Obtain parental consent before collecting or publishing any child’s personal information; and 
  • Allow parents to review, edit, or delete that information at any time. 

Information Collected Automatically 

When anyone visits our website, we may collect: 

  • Device and browser information (like IP address or type of device). 
  • Site usage data (pages visited, time on site, items in cart). 
  • Cookies and similar tools that help us improve the website and personalize your experience. 

We do not use cookies to track children across third-party websites or serve targeted ads.

3. How We Use Information 

We use collected information to: 

  • Process and deliver orders. 
  • Communicate with parents or guardians about purchases. 
  • Improve our website, recipes, and products. 
  • Send marketing updates (to adults only, and only with consent). 
  • Ensure compliance with laws and protect the safety of our users. 

We never sell personal information — ever. 

4. Sharing Information 

We may share information only as necessary to run our business safely and responsibly: 

  • Service providers such as shipping carriers, payment processors, or customer support platforms. 
  • Legal authorities if required to comply with the law or protect someone’s safety. 

All partners are required to keep personal information secure and use it only as instructed by WILD BUDS. 

We do not share, rent, or sell personal data to advertisers. 

5. Parental Rights and Controls 

Parents and guardians have the right to:

  • Review the personal information we may have collected from their child;
  • Request that we delete that information; and 
  • Withdraw consent for further data collection or use. 

To exercise these rights, please contact us at support@mywildbuds.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request to ensure children’s privacy is protected. 

6. Cookies and Analytics 

We use cookies and analytics tools to make our website work better — like keeping track of your shopping cart or remembering preferences. We do not use cookies to serve behavior-based ads to children. 

You can adjust cookie settings in your browser at any time. 

7. Marketing Communications 

We may send promotional emails or texts to adults who sign up for updates. We do not send marketing communications directly to children. 

You can opt out of promotional messages anytime by clicking “Unsubscribe” or contacting us at support@mywildbuds.com

8. Data Security 

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your information, including: 

  • Secure servers and SSL encryption during checkout. 
  • Restricted access to personal data. 
  • Regular monitoring for potential vulnerabilities. 

Even with these measures, no online system is completely secure. We encourage parents to supervise children’s online activity and help them use the internet safely. 

9. Data Retention 

We retain personal information only as long as needed to: 

  • Complete orders and provide services. 
  • Comply with legal and tax obligations. 
  • Maintain appropriate records of parental consent. 

Afterward, we securely delete or anonymize the data.

10. International Users 

Our website is operated from the United States. If you access it from outside the U.S., you agree that your data may be processed under U.S. privacy laws, which may differ from those in your country. 

11. Updates to This Policy 

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect new features, legal requirements, or business practices. If we make significant changes, we’ll notify parents or guardians by email (if available) or post a clear notice on our website. The “Last Updated” date above shows when the policy was last revised.
