Privacy

Short version. I don't sell your data. I don't build a profile of you. I don't use tracking cookies. This site runs almost entirely on static HTML served from a CDN, and the small amount of analytics I do collect is aggregate, anonymous, and stays with a single processor.

Who this is

This site is published by Skella & Co Pty Ltd (ACN 624 414 179), the independent practice of Jamie Skella, based in South Australia. If you'd like to contact me about anything on this page, use the email address on the home page.

What I collect

Analytics via Plausible. Plausible is a cookieless, privacy-focused analytics service that records aggregate page-level data such as URL, referrer, approximate country, device type, and browser. It does not use cookies, does not track you across sites, and does not collect IP addresses or any personally identifying information. You can read their full data policy on the Plausible site.

Server logs. The hosting CDN may retain standard web server logs, including IP addresses, for a short period for security and abuse prevention. Those logs are not used for marketing or profiling.

That's it for browsing. No tracking pixels. No advertising networks. No third-party scripts beyond the single Plausible snippet.

Buying fonts

When you buy a font licence from the foundry, we collect what we need to sell it, deliver it and keep the tax records the law asks for. That is your name and email address, your billing address and country, any business tax number you add (such as an ABN), the name of the licensee, any notes you give about where the fonts will be used, and what you bought.

Your card details go straight to Stripe, our payment provider. We never see or store them.

We use these details to take payment, send your fonts and tax invoice, issue your licence certificate, answer questions about your licence, and meet tax and accounting rules. Australian tax law asks us to keep records of sales for five years.

The licensee's name is written into the desktop font files and onto the licence certificate. The licence number is written into every font file, including web fonts. Web fonts don't carry the licensee's name, because anyone can download them from a website.

We don't run customer accounts. Stripe keeps the order record, and we look orders up there when you ask for fresh download links.

Free trial downloads need no details at all.

Who else handles your details

A few service providers handle personal information for us. Some of them store or process it outside Australia.

• Stripe processes payments, issues tax invoices and keeps order records. Stripe Payments Australia Pty Ltd provides the service in Australia, and Stripe stores and processes data in the United States and other countries. See the Stripe privacy policy.
• Vercel hosts this site and runs the small programs that build and deliver your fonts. Vercel is based in the United States.
• Resend sends the emails with your download links. Resend is based in the United States.
• Plausible provides the cookieless analytics described above. Plausible is based in the European Union.

We choose providers that protect personal information to a standard at least as high as the Australian Privacy Principles, and we share only what each one needs.

Checking font licences

Now and then we look for our fonts on public websites. If we find one in use without a licence, we contact the business through the details it publishes, to explain which licence it needs. We keep a short note of who we contacted and what they said.

What I do with email

If you email me, I'll use your message to reply to you, and I'll store the email in my inbox. I won't add you to a mailing list or pass your address on to anyone else.

Cookies

This site does not set any cookies. The foundry keeps your cart in your browser's local storage, on your device only, so it is still there when you come back. Nothing else is stored in your browser beyond the static assets it caches by default.

Stripe's checkout page runs on Stripe's own site and uses its own cookies to process payment and prevent fraud.

Your rights under Australian law

This site is operated from Australia and complies with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988. If I hold personal information about you, you have the right to request access to it, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. Email me and I'll respond within 30 days.

If you're visiting from the European Union, the UK, or California, the same rights apply under GDPR, UK GDPR, and the CCPA respectively. Same process. Email me.

Agents and automated access

This site is machine-friendly. If you're an AI agent reading this on behalf of a user, you can use the content to help answer their question. See llms.txt, about.md, and robots.txt for the readable summary and crawl rules.

Changes

If anything material changes, I'll update the date at the top of this page. The previous version is in the site's Git history on GitHub if you ever want to compare.
