Privacy Policy
Last updated July 15, 2026
This policy explains what personal information RoboSTEM collects when you shop with us, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
- Order and contact details — your name, shipping and billing address, email address, and the contents of your order.
- Uploaded artwork — files and text you submit for custom items, which we store to produce your order.
- Payment information — handled entirely by Stripe. Your full card number is submitted directly to Stripe and is never received or stored by us.
- Usage data — basic technical and device information, and cookies needed to run the store (see below).
How we use it
We use your information to process and ship your orders, produce custom items, send order confirmations and support responses, prevent fraud, meet legal and tax obligations, and improve the store. We do not sell your personal information.
Who we share it with
We share only what each provider needs to do its job:
- Stripe — payment processing and fraud prevention.
- Cloudflare — website hosting and storage of your uploaded artwork files.
- Veeqo and shipping carriers (such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and Canada Post) — to package, label, and deliver your order.
- Email and analytics providers — to send transactional email and understand site usage.
We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights.
Where your information is processed
We operate from the United States, and our providers store and process data in the United States. If you are in Canada or elsewhere, your information is transferred to and handled in the U.S. and is subject to U.S. law. We use contractual safeguards to require comparable protection from our providers.
Cookies and tracking
We use cookies that are strictly necessary to run the store and process payments (including Stripe's checkout and fraud cookies). Where we use optional analytics cookies, visitors in regions that require it can decline them. We honor recognized browser opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track where applicable.
Retention
We keep order records for as long as needed to fulfill your order and meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements. Uploaded artwork is retained to reproduce and support your order and is deleted when it is no longer needed for those purposes.
Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and you may ask questions about how we handle it, by emailing contact@robostem.org. Canadian customers may also escalate a concern to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Children
Our store is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes and contact
We will update this policy as our practices change and revise the “last updated” date above. For any privacy request or question, contact contact@robostem.org or write to us at P.O. Box #2251, Saratoga, CA 95070. See also our Terms of Service.
