Orders and WooCommerce


Nightshade & Sugar uses WooCommerce to manage online orders.

When you choose one of these payment methods, information necessary to process the transaction may be shared with that provider, such as your name, email address, billing information, transaction amount, and payment-related identifiers.

Stripe and PayPal process information according to their own privacy practices. PayPal may also use cookies and similar technologies as part of its services.


Website Analytics


Nightshade & Sugar may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are viewed, how visitors arrive at the site, and general interaction patterns.


Google Analytics may collect information such as browser or device information, approximate location based on IP address, page views, session information, and other usage data. It may also use first-party cookies to distinguish users and sessions.


Analytics information is used to understand and improve the website, not to personally identify individual visitors.

Nightshade & Sugar uses MailPoet to manage email subscribers and send newsletters or other requested email communications.


If you subscribe, information such as your name, email address, subscription status, and email engagement information may be stored or processed through MailPoet and its service providers.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included in those messages.

If you submit a message through the Contact page, the information you provide is used to respond to your inquiry.


Contact-form submissions may be sent directly by email and may also be retained by the website or form system depending on the site configuration.
