Privacy Policy

Plain version: we collect what we need to write your report and email it to you, nothing more. We don't sell your data, and this website sets no cookies or trackers.

Who we are

KitchenKit Atlas ("we," "us") sells research reports on used commercial ice machines, delivered by email. We are a sole-proprietor business based in California, USA. Contact: [email protected].

What we collect

• Your email address — collected at checkout and used to deliver your report and receipt.
• The details you send us to complete a report — the listing URL, photos (including data-plate photos), the model/serial number, your ZIP code, what the seller told you, and your deadline if any. You provide these voluntarily on our intake form after payment, or by replying to your receipt.
• Payment information — processed directly by Stripe. We receive a confirmation that you paid and the last digits/brand of your card for our records; we never receive or store your full card number.
• A channel tag — if you arrived from one of our posts, a short source label (e.g. "reddit") travels with your checkout so we know which communities our reports are useful to. It is not tied to any tracking profile and contains no personal information.

What we do not do

• This website sets no cookies and loads no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts. (Stripe's checkout, which opens when you buy, operates under Stripe's own privacy policy.)
• We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone.
• We do not build advertising profiles or track you across other websites.

How we use your information

• To research, write, and email your report.
• To reply to your questions and provide support or refunds.
• To keep basic records of orders for accounting and tax purposes.
• In aggregate and anonymized form, to understand which machine models people ask about most, so we can expand our coverage.

Who we share it with

Only the service providers that make the business run, and only as needed:

• Stripe — payment processing. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.
• Cloudflare — website hosting and email delivery. Cloudflare may log technical data such as IP addresses as part of serving and protecting the site. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
• Web3Forms — delivers the details you submit on our intake form to our inbox. See Web3Forms' Privacy Policy.

We may also disclose information if required by law. If the business is ever sold or transferred, order records may transfer with it.

How long we keep it

We keep your order and correspondence records as long as needed to provide the service and meet legal and tax obligations, then delete or anonymize them. You can ask us to delete your data sooner (see below); we'll honor it except where we're required to retain a record.

Your choices and rights

Wherever you live, you can email [email protected] to:

• Ask what information we hold about you,
• Ask us to correct or delete it,
• Ask us not to use it for anything beyond fulfilling your order.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA): you have the right to know, delete, and correct your personal information, and the right to opt out of its sale or sharing — which is easy here, because we do neither. EU/UK residents (GDPR): our legal basis for processing is performing the service you purchased and our legitimate interest in running the business; you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, and objection. We honor these requests without discrimination.

Children

This is a business-to-buyer service for commercial equipment and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. Material changes affecting how we use existing customers' data will be noted here.
