Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 2026
This privacy notice describes the privacy practices for JunkyardWisdom.com and related sites and/or partner sites, such as PathLight.org. This notice explains what information may be collected through this website, how that information may be used and shared, the choices available to you regarding your information, and the measures we take to help protect it.
Information Collection, Use, and Sharing
Junkyard Wisdom™ collects information that you voluntarily provide through this website, including when you contact us, subscribe to receive communications, or place an order.
Depending on how you use the website, this information may include your name, email address, phone number, billing address, shipping address, products ordered, and other information associated with your purchase or request.
We use this information to respond to you, provide requested services, process and fulfill orders, communicate with you about your purchase, provide customer service, and operate the website.
We will not sell or rent your personal information.
We may share information with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the website, process payments, fulfill and ship orders, communicate with customers, or provide other services requested through the website. These service providers may include payment processors, website and ecommerce service providers, and shipping or fulfillment providers.
Junkyard Wisdom™ and PathLight.org have the same co-founder and may, from time to time, utilize your email for marketing purposes.
Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about new posts, book reviews, upcoming events in your area, or changes to this Privacy Policy.
Online Orders
Our online store uses WooCommerce to manage purchases.
When you place an order, information associated with your purchase may be stored on our website. This may include your name, contact information, billing and shipping addresses, products purchased, order total, payment status, and other information necessary to process and fulfill your order.
We may use and retain order information as reasonably necessary to process and fulfill purchases, provide customer service, maintain transaction records, prevent fraud or misuse, and meet applicable accounting, tax, legal, or administrative requirements.
Payment Processing
Online payments are processed through Stripe, a third-party payment processor.
When you make a purchase, information necessary to process your payment is provided to Stripe. Junkyard Wisdom™ does not directly store your complete credit or debit card information.
Stripe’s collection, processing, and use of information is subject to Stripe’s own privacy practices and policies.
Shipping and Order Fulfillment
When you place an order for products that require shipping, we use the information you provide, including your name and shipping address, to fulfill and deliver your purchase.
Information necessary to deliver your order may be provided to shipping carriers or other service providers involved in order fulfillment.
Cookies and Website Functionality
This website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for website functionality, including maintaining shopping cart contents, supporting the checkout process, and remembering information needed to complete a transaction.
The site may also use cookies or similar technologies provided by third-party services used to operate the website.
Your Access to and Control Over Information
You may opt out of future contacts from Junkyard Wisdom™ at any time.
You may contact us at roy@junkyardwisdom.com to:
- See what personal information we have about you, if any.
- Change or correct personal information we have about you.
- Ask us to delete personal information we have about you, subject to information we may need to retain for legitimate business, accounting, tax, legal, or administrative purposes.
- Express any concern you have about our use of your personal information.

Security
We take reasonable precautions to help protect personal information submitted through the website.
Information transmitted between your browser and this website is protected using HTTPS encryption. You can verify that your connection is encrypted by looking for the lock or security indicator in your browser and “https” at the beginning of the website address.
Access to personal information is limited to those who need it to perform appropriate business functions, such as processing and fulfilling orders.
Payment card information submitted during checkout is processed by our third-party payment processor rather than being directly stored by Junkyard Wisdom™.
No method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect the information entrusted to us.
