Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 2026

Pappenfüs Guitars ("we," "us") operates the website pappenfusguitars.com. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

Information We Collect

Contact form submissions. When you use the contact form, we collect your name, email address, phone number (if you choose to provide it), inquiry type, and message. Your submission is sent to us via Resend, a transactional email service, and stored only in our email inbox.

Server logs. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, automatically collects standard web server log data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. Cloudflare processes this data under its own privacy policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Google Fonts. This site loads typefaces from Google Fonts. When your browser requests these files, Google may collect your IP address and basic connection data. Google's privacy policy applies to that collection: policies.google.com/privacy.

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not use analytics tracking scripts, advertising pixels, or marketing cookies. We do not create user accounts. We do not process payments on this site. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Cookies

This site does not set first-party cookies. Cloudflare may set a small number of cookies for security and performance purposes (such as the __cf_bm bot-management cookie). These are functional cookies, not tracking cookies.

How We Use Your Information

We use contact form submissions solely to respond to your inquiry about guitars, commissions, repairs, or related questions. We do not add you to a mailing list unless you specifically request it.

Data Retention

Contact form submissions remain in our email inbox until deleted in the normal course of correspondence. Cloudflare server logs are retained according to Cloudflare's data retention policies.

Your Rights

You may request that we delete any personal information we hold about you by emailing pappenfusguitars@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
