Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains how Bantu Harvest collects, uses, and protects your personal information.

Effective date: February 26, 2026 · Business: Bantu Harvest · Contact: hello@bantuharvest.com

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you place an order, create an account, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, shipping address, phone number, and payment information. Payment details are processed securely through Stripe — we never store your credit card numbers on our servers.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. We use cookies and similar technologies to facilitate site functionality and understand how visitors interact with our site.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to process and fulfill your orders, communicate with you about your orders and account, send marketing communications (with your consent), improve our website and products, prevent fraud and protect our business, and comply with legal obligations.

3. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functionality (keeping you logged in, maintaining your cart) and improving your browsing experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.

Website Analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics to collect basic visitor metrics such as pageviews, unique visitors, referrers, top pages, and device type. Vercel Analytics is privacy-friendly and does not use cookies, does not track individual users across sites, and does not collect personally identifiable information. It is compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations. We also use Vercel Speed Insights to monitor site performance metrics (such as page load times) to ensure a fast browsing experience.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your information with service providers who help us operate our business, including Stripe for payment processing, shipping carriers for order delivery, and email service providers for order communications and marketing. These providers only have access to the information necessary to perform their services and are contractually obligated to protect your data.

5. Payment Processing

All payment transactions are processed through Stripe, a PCI-compliant payment processor. We never store your complete credit card information on our servers. For details on how Stripe handles your payment data, please review Stripe's Privacy Policy at stripe.com/privacy.

6. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on servers located in the United States. We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights
