Major Wood BBQ is operated by Scallywag Media Inc., a California corporation. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. If you do not agree with this Policy, do not use the site.
Information We Collect
We collect information you give us directly, including your email address when you sign up for Field Dispatches, request a free guide, join a waitlist, contact us, or eventually create an account.
We also collect basic technical information automatically, including browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location derived from IP address, affiliate-link clicks, and analytics events. This helps us understand what content is useful and keep the site working.
When purchases, memberships, or account features launch, payment and order information may be processed by third-party providers such as Stripe, email providers, fulfillment partners, and hosting services. Stripe-hosted Checkout handles payment card data; Major Wood BBQ does not receive or store full payment card numbers on our servers.
How We Use Information
We use information to:
- send Field Dispatches, free guides, waitlist updates, and product news;
- respond to questions and support requests;
- measure article performance, affiliate clicks, and site reliability;
- prevent abuse, spam, fraud, and security issues;
- operate checkout and digital delivery;
- comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
Cookies and Analytics
The site may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies for analytics, security, preferences, and marketing measurement. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some site features may not work correctly if cookies are disabled. We use a first-party visitor identifier and campaign labels for up to 30 days to connect visits with signup and checkout. A qualified visit means a relevant page was visible for at least ten seconds; it is an estimate of engagement. The first-party measurement respects browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals. We do not send email addresses, confirmation tokens or download tokens in analytics events.
Affiliate Links
Some product links are affiliate links. If you click a link and buy something, Major Wood BBQ may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more detail.
Sharing Information
We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense of handing over an email list for cash. We may share information with service providers who help us run the site, send email, process payments, host infrastructure, measure analytics, prevent fraud, or fulfill orders. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a business transfer.
Your Choices
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in any email. You can also contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or other available privacy choices for your information. Some requests may be limited by legal, security, fraud-prevention, or transaction-record requirements.
Data Retention and Security
We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required for legal, tax, accounting, dispute, security, or operational reasons. We use reasonable safeguards, but no internet service is perfectly secure.
Children
Major Wood BBQ is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new last-updated date.
