Sweet Queue reserves the right to retain data related to policy violations, account bans, or suspected illegal activity indefinitely, even after account closure, as needed to protect the platform and cooperate with legal authorities.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers: Third-party vendors who help us operate the platform (e.g., payment processing via Stripe, email via Resend, hosting providers)
  • Your customers: Order-related information is visible to the Maker associated with that order
  • Legal requirements: If required by law, subpoena, court order, or governmental or regulatory authority — without notice to you
  • Law enforcement: We may proactively share information with law enforcement if we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary to prevent illegal activity, harm to persons, or violations of our Terms
  • Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice provided
  • Enforcement actions: When investigating policy violations, we may share relevant account and activity data with third parties as necessary to protect the platform and its users

Sweet Queue is not required to notify you before sharing your information with law enforcement or regulatory authorities.

5. Customer Data (Order Submissions)

When a customer submits an order through a Maker's Sweet Queue storefront, their information (name, email, phone, order details) is stored and made available to that Maker. Customers should be aware that their information is shared with the business they are ordering from. Sweet Queue does not use customer order data for marketing purposes.

Customers acknowledge that Sweet Queue is a platform provider only and is not responsible for how individual Makers handle or use customer data. Customers are encouraged to review the Maker's individual privacy practices before submitting personal information.

5.1. Maker Data Responsibilities

Makers who collect customer data through Sweet Queue storefronts are independently responsible for complying with all applicable privacy and data protection laws in their jurisdiction, including but not limited to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and any other applicable regulations.

Sweet Queue is not responsible for a Maker's handling, storage, or use of customer data. Makers must not use customer data for any purpose beyond fulfilling orders and communicating with customers about their orders.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account and order data for as long as your account is active. If you close your account, we will delete or anonymize your data within a reasonable period, unless we are required to retain it for legal, tax, regulatory, or enforcement purposes.

Notwithstanding the above, Sweet Queue reserves the right to retain the following data indefinitely:

  • Records of accounts that were suspended or banned for Terms of Service violations
  • Data related to actual or suspected illegal activity, fraud, or abuse
  • Any data subject to a legal hold, government investigation, or ongoing dispute

Banned accounts and associated email addresses may be permanently blacklisted to prevent re-registration.

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS) and secure data storage. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify affected users as required by applicable law.

7.1. Platform Monitoring and Enforcement

Sweet Queue reserves the right to access, review, and monitor any content, listings, or account activity on the platform at any time, with or without notice, for the purpose of:

  • Ensuring compliance with our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy
  • Investigating reports of policy violations or illegal activity
  • Responding to legal process, court orders, or government requests
  • Protecting the safety and security of our users and the platform

By using Sweet Queue, you consent to this monitoring. Information discovered during such reviews may be shared with law enforcement or other authorities where required or appropriate.

8. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain your login session and understand how users interact with the platform. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies, though some features of the Service may not function properly as a result.

9. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Opt out of non-essential communications

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@sweetqueue.com.

10. Children's Privacy

Sweet Queue is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. Makers must be at least 18 years of age to create an account and operate a storefront. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that we have collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly and may suspend the associated account.

If you believe a minor has submitted information through our platform, please contact us immediately at support@sweetqueue.com.

11. Third-Party Links

Our platform may contain links to third-party sites (e.g., Instagram, Venmo). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

12. No Recourse for Account Actions

Sweet Queue's decisions regarding account suspension, termination, content removal, or data retention are final and made at Sweet Queue's sole discretion. You acknowledge and agree that you have no right to recourse, appeal, or compensation in connection with any such action taken by Sweet Queue, except as expressly required by applicable law.

Sweet Queue shall not be liable for any loss of business, revenue, data, or goodwill resulting from account suspension or termination, regardless of the reason.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or an in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your binding acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not agree to the updated policy, you must immediately discontinue use of the Service.
