Privacy Policy
Here's an explanation of what happens to your information when you use this site.
Hemrock (hemrock.com) is a dba of Unstructured Ventures, LLC, a Delaware LLC ("Unstructured Ventures", "our," "us," "me," "I", or "we"). This Privacy Policy is to let you know what information we collect when you visit this site (the "website", "this site") and/or other services offered via our website (collectively, the "services"), why we collect it, and how it is used. The terms of use for this website is at Terms.
What information I collect
I collect limited personal information about who you are and where you are, as well as technical data about how you are accessing this site. This personal information can be deleted or edited by you at anytime, except for anonymized information that is impossible for us to delete. We work hard to keep your information private, however, because the Internet can never be completely secure, you give me your info at your own risk. When you put your private information on the Internet, it can be collected and used for others, and we are not responsible for keeping that information provate or secure. If I have a security breach, I will email you within 72 hours of identification of a breach.
Your rights to the data I collect about you
- We abide by the terms of California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and apply the principles of transparency about how I collect and use data, and the right to access and delete your data, to all users.
- You can request access to and deletion of your personal information by emailing hello at hemrock.com or calling +1.646.770.0052. If you request your information under the right to access, it will be provided within 30 days, and will include the categories of data, sources, the purpose of collecting said data, and the specific pieces of data collected over the past 12 months.
- You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12 month period. The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify you are the person whom we collected personal information, or an authorized representative, and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
- You will not be discriminated against if you exercise your rights to access and/or delete your data.
- I do not sell any personal information to any parties, and have not in the past 12 months.
- I engage third parties to perform functions and provide services to me, including hosting, email, product downloads and website analytics. I may share data with those services, but only to the extent necessary to perform those functions and services, and require those third parties to maintain the privacy and security of your personal information.
How this site collects and uses data
This site uses a few services to manage this site and its services:
- Purchases and downloads. You can buy directly on this site or through Gumroad. Direct purchases on this site are processed by Stripe (for cards) and PayPal (for PayPal payments). I never see or store your card number. Your payment details are tokenized and handled inside Stripe's and PayPal's PCI-compliant systems, and the only thing stored on my side is a record of the purchase itself: the products, the amount, your email, and any billing details you choose to provide for an invoice. Purchases made through Gumroad are processed by Gumroad, which keeps its own customer and order records and sends those customers their receipts and product emails; anything Gumroad collects is governed by its own privacy policy and isn't available to me beyond what you provided at purchase. You are not required to create an account to buy. I store records of paid purchases so I can offer you ongoing access to what you bought, and I can delete records of free transactions on request.
- User accounts. Accounts and sessions are handled by Supabase and displayed on this site, and I store your email and a record of the products you own in Supabase so you can access your downloads and receipts.
- Email and the mailing list. If you submit your email through a form on this site it is stored in Supabase. The mailing list is double opt-in, meaning you confirm your subscription before any newsletter is sent. Account and transactional emails (your sign-in code, receipts, invoices, and booking confirmations) are sent through Resend. Marketing emails and newsletters are sent through Resend, and every one carries a one-click unsubscribe; you can also contact me to be removed. Opting out of marketing never stops the transactional emails you're entitled to. If you purchased through Gumroad, your receipts and product emails for that purchase are sent by Gumroad, and you can manage those in your Gumroad settings. I do not sell or share your email address.
- Analytics. I use Fathom Analytics to understand the usage of this website. This data is collected in a GDPR-compliant way and I cannot access or use this information in any personally-identifiable way.
- Download tracking. When you access product downloads or Google Sheets links from your product page, we record the date, time, and an anonymized location (a one-way hash of your IP address) for your protection and for dispute resolution. Your download links are unique to you and tied to your account. We use this information to help verify legitimate access if there is a dispute about unauthorized sharing or account access. This data is stored in Supabase and is not shared with third parties except as needed to operate the service. You can contact me to request details of download access records associated with your account.
- Affiliate tracking. If you arrive via an affiliate link (a link containing
?ref=), I set a cookie (__Host-affiliate_ref) for 60 days so a purchase can be attributed to that affiliate if you buy. This is the only personally identifiable data I store via cookies on this site. If you buy through Gumroad, Gumroad may also set its own affiliate cookies under its policy, which I don't have access to. You can clear the cookie anytime in your browser settings. - Ratings and reviews. Star ratings you submit on product pages are private and are not displayed publicly. If you choose to submit a written review along with your name, title, company, or profile link, that information may be displayed publicly on our website. By submitting a written review, you agree that your name and review text may be shown publicly. You can edit or delete your review at any time from your product page. Review data is stored in Supabase and is not shared with third parties except as needed to operate the service.
