Privacy Policy (Last Updated May 2018)
 
You may have heard about the GDRP going into effect in the European Union. Companies that do any business with customers in the EU must comply with this policy which covers the collection of identifiable personal information through the internet. To date, Happy Shack Designs has not had any European customers, but who knows what’s around the corner, so here are my privacy policies!

This Privacy Policy explains how information about you is collected, used and disclosed by Happy Shack Designs. This Privacy Policy applies to information I collect when you use my website or when you otherwise interact with me as outlined below.

I may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If I make changes, I will notify you by revising the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy and, in some cases, may provide you with additional notice (such as by adding a statement to my website or by sending you a notification). I encourage you to review this privacy policy whenever you access the site or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about my information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.
