Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 2025

Welcome! This Privacy Policy explains how Four Queens ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website (www.fourqueens.org), use our mobile apps, or interact with any of our services (together, "the Site").

What We Mean by "Personal Information"

"Personal Information" means any information that identifies you—or could reasonably be used to identify you. This doesn’t include information that's been de-identified or grouped together so that individuals can't be recognized.

Who We Are

The Site is owned and operated by Four Queens Divination ("we," "our," or "us"). Our administrative office is located on Vashon Island, Washington. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can reach us at:

What Information We Collect

In general, you can visit our Site without telling us who you are. We don’t collect personally identifiable information unless you choose to provide it—for example, by signing up for our newsletter.

When you visit our Site, some information is automatically collected, like:

  • Your IP address

  • Browser type

  • Access times

  • Pages visited

  • Referring websites

We mainly use this technical information to:

  • Improve the Site

  • Fix problems

  • Make sure everything works properly under our Terms of Service.

If you opt in to specific services (like a newsletter), we may ask for your name, email address, or other information.

If we ever sell, merge, reorganize, or transition the Site, your information may be part of that process too. However, we will not sell your Personal Information, and we never will.

Why We Process Your Information

We only process your Personal Information if we have a legal reason to do so, such as:

  • Fulfilling a contract with you (like providing services you requested)

  • Following legal obligations

  • Pursuing legitimate business interests (like improving our services)

If you give us consent, you can change your mind and withdraw it at any time. If we're processing based on legitimate interests, you have the right to object.

International Visitors and GDPR Rights

If you’re outside the United States, please know that your information will be transferred to servers in the U.S. and handled according to this Privacy Policy, even if your country has stricter data laws.

If you’re in the EU, UK, or EEA, you have rights under GDPR, including:

  • The right to access, correct, or delete your data

  • The right to restrict or object to how we process your data

  • The right to move your data (portability)

  • The right to withdraw your consent at any time

  • The right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority (like the UK's Information Commissioner’s Office: https://ico.org.uk/)

To exercise these rights, email us at fourqueensdivination@gmail.com

How We Protect Your Information

We take informed, consistent, and reasonable measures—technical, administrative, and physical—to protect your Personal Information.

However, no online data transmission is 100% secure. We use SSL/TLS encryption for sensitive transmissions, but emails and some other communications may not be fully secure. Please avoid sending sensitive information through unsecured channels.

Cookies: What They Are and Why We Use Them

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to make websites work better.

We use cookies to:

  • Analyze traffic and user behavior

  • Recognize when you're logged in

  • Save your preferences

  • Improve content and features

You can choose to disable cookies in your browser settings. Doing so might affect how parts of the Site work for you.

Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

If a minor contacts us, we will only use their information to respond and inform them that our services are not available to them.

Analytics

We use services like Google Analytics and Squarespace Analytics to help understand how visitors use our Site. If you’d like to opt out of analytics tracking, you can visit the websites of those services directly.

How Long We Keep Information

We keep website visitor information we collect for as long as we need it for the purposes outlined in this Policy—or until you ask us to delete it.

Direct Marketing

We might use your information to send you updates or offers we think you’ll enjoy. Every promotional email we send will also have a link for you to unsubscribe easily.

How We Use Your Information

If you share information with us, we might use it to:

  • Provide the services you requested

  • Improve our Site and services

  • Customize your experience

  • Send you updates or offers

We may also use aggregated (non-identifiable) information to understand general user behavior or to promote our services.

We do not sell your Personal Information and we never will.

We may share information if legally required to do so (e.g., a court order), or if part of a business sale or merger.

If you share Personal Information publicly on the Site, others may see it. We aren't responsible for how others use what you share publicly.

Links to Other Websites

We may link to other websites, but we aren't responsible for how they handle your information. Please review their privacy policies separately.

Limitations

By using the Site, you agree that:

  • We aren't responsible for anything you share with third parties through the Site.

  • We aren't liable if someone illegally accesses or discloses your information.

  • We aren’t liable for accidental disclosures.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll post the changes here and update the "Effective Date" at the top. If you keep using the Site after changes are posted, that means you accept the new terms.

Complaints

If you have concerns or complaints about how we handle your information, please contact us at:

We will make every effort to respond within 30 days.
