By purchasing from us, you are not requested, forced or secretly generated an account.
Your overview may be used similarly to an account (withold expiry by periodic and/or constant viewing), but there is an expiry date ("accounts" usually do not have expiry dates). Approximately 90 days from your last viewing, your order details and corresponding information will be permanently purged from our system.
Aside from privacy, purging inactive data reduces redundancy on our server and enables new customers to receive faster page loads and accessibility.

The only personal information collected about you, is what you knowingly and willingly submit to us. This information is not sold, traded or transferred to anyone. Our only objective is to ship the merchandise you request and nothing more.

Why we have zero interest in spamming or otherwise annoying our customers:
a) Spamming absorbs massive load on the processing server, thereby slowing the shopping and browsing experience for everyone
b) It's a known fact nobody reads that crap anyway
c) It's a good way to get blacklisted from delivering legit mail to major ISPs
...and finally...
d) We don't need to. Our customers keep coming back to us year after year for their merch, we don't need to spam to make a profit.
