Access

This website and all content within it are available exclusively to visitors located in the United States of America. Access from outside the United States is restricted.

Intellectual Property

All content on this site — including but not limited to text, images, artwork, music, code, product designs, and documentation — is the exclusive intellectual property of Christopher Gabriel Brown. No content may be copied, distributed, reproduced, or used without express written permission.

Patent-Protected Materials

Certain products and technologies presented on this site are protected under United States patent law. Unauthorized use, reproduction, or reverse engineering of patent-protected materials is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.

This site and its content are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Christopher Gabriel Brown makes no representations about the accuracy or completeness of the content.

2. Privacy Policy

      The short version: We collect minimal, anonymous data to understand where our visitors are from. We do not use Google Analytics or any third-party tracking service. We use only one essential session cookie to keep the store functional — no tracking cookies, no advertising cookies. We do not sell or share your data with anyone.
    

What We Collect

When you visit this site, our server automatically records:

Your approximate location — country, state/region, and city (determined from your IP address)
Page visited — which page you viewed
Referrer — the website that linked you here (if any)
Device type — whether you're on desktop, mobile, or tablet (determined from your browser's user-agent string)
Timestamp — when the visit occurred

What We Do NOT Collect

Your name, email address, or any personally identifiable information
Your actual IP address — it is hashed (one-way encrypted) before storage and cannot be reversed
Cookies or tracking pixels of any kind
Browsing history beyond this site

Why We Collect It

The sole purpose of this data is to understand where our visitors are located geographically. This helps us verify that our US-only access policy is working and provides basic insight into visitor volume. That's it.

Third-Party Services

We use the free ip-api.com service to determine your approximate geographic location from your IP address. Your IP is sent to this service for geolocation only. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party analytics or advertising platform.

Data Retention

Visitor data is stored on our server in a secure database that is not publicly accessible. We retain this data for operational purposes and may periodically purge older records.

Cookies

This site uses one essential cookie:

PHPSESSID — A session cookie required for the store to function (shopping cart, navigation). It expires when you close your browser or after 1 hour of inactivity. It contains no personal information.

We do not use:

Tracking cookies
Advertising or remarketing cookies
Third-party cookies (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, etc.)
Persistent analytics cookies of any kind

Our visitor analytics are handled entirely server-side and involve zero client-side cookies or JavaScript tracking.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, rent, or share visitor data with any third party. Period.
