Privacy Policy

This policy was last updated on November 01, 2025

At Teacup Riot, we believe your data deserves as much respect as your quiet rebellions. This isn't just a legal doc—it's a human promise to treat your info like we'd want ours treated: with care, transparency, and zero creepiness.

We too hate aggressive trackers and unsolicited noise just as much as you do.

1. What We Collect (And Why)

Honestly, we only collect what the site absolutely needs. We are also very intentional about every bit of data we gather—it's solely to keep this quiet workshop humming efficiently and to make sure that we're delivering content that's actually worth your time.

Site Analytics (The Functional Stuff)

We use two types of analytics to understand site performance without spying on your private life:

• Google Analytics: This helps us figure out which parts of the site people actually read and what they scroll past. Google may set cookies or track anonymized data like your browser, what page brought you here, or how long you stuck around.
• Umami Analytics: Our minimalist, privacy-friendly sidekick. No cookies, no personal data—just basic traffic patterns so we can keep things humming without intruding on your quiet.

Advertising (The Necessary Evil)

Let's be real—ads pay the bills, keeping this quiet workshop running and the content free. We run Google AdSense. We're not thrilled about the tracking required, but it's part of the bargain.

And fair warning, but Adsense may use cookies to try and guess what you'd click on—just know that we minimize this exposure wherever humanly possible. It's the only way we can avoid the corporate hustle ourselves.

Voluntary Data (The Cozy Confession)

If you decide to join our slow-burning revolution via a newsletter sign-up or reach out via email, you're giving us your trust. We promise to keep your address secure. We only use it for the content you explicitly asked for.

Your email won't be sold, traded, or subjected to any kind of digital noise. Your trust is far too valuable for that kind of nonsense.

2. Cookies: The Tiny Little Crumbs

Honestly? We wish we didn't have to talk about these. A cookie is just a tiny little file our site places quietly on your device. We only use these essential files for the things we already mentioned (Google Analytics and AdSense), just so those tools can function.

And because we value the quiet and cozy, we don't actually store any of the usual login, preference, or functional cookies—because we don't need them. We keep things simple, leaving fewer digital traces behind.

Want to know exactly what tiny little crumbs we use? We believe in transparency, always. You can check what cookies we use here: cookieserve.com.

3. Your Privacy Rights (No Legalese Required)

Your quiet is yours, and so is your data. And protecting that control is exactly how we run things here. To exercise any of the rights below—or if you just need to talk it out—email us at contact@teacupriot.com.

We promise to handle your request immediately and we won't make it weird.

GDPR (Europe, We See You)

If you're located in the EU/EEA, the GDPR grants you these essential rights over your information:

• Access the minimal data we have about you.
• Correct any inaccurate data.
• Delete your data entirely.
• Object to how we use your data.
• Tell a regulator if you think we're messing up (we're confident we're not, but it's absolutely your right).

US CCPA (Hello, California)

If you're a California resident, the CCPA lets you take control. You have the right to:

• Know what personal data we collect.
• Request deletion of your data.
• Opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal data (besides, we don't sell your info anyway—ick).

4. Other ImportantThings to Note

Just a few final notes before you go. Think of these as the simple, non-negotiable rules for our little corner of the web:

For the Kids Privacy (And, Parents Peace of Mind )

We're not really a site aimed at kids under 13 (or 16, depending on where you live). If you're that young, please go read something fun, not a privacy policy!

And parents, for your peace of mind, know that we don't knowingly collect info from children. If a parent thinks we've accidentally gathered something, please email us right away—we'll take care of it fast and without fuss.

Links We Don't Control (The Wild West)

Sometimes we link to cool books, art, or resources. But once you leave our teacup-shaped corner of the web, we can't guarantee what happens on those other sites. Read their policies, drink water, stay safe.

We Don't Share Your Info (Our Simple Promise)

We promise—we don't sell, trade, or share your personal information. It's just how we do things here. The only time we'll ever hand over any data is if we're legally required to do so (like, if a court literally orders us to).

5. Updates & Tweaks

We might have to change this policy from time to time—life shifts, laws shift, and sometimes we add new features to the quiet workshop. When we do, we promise to update the date at the very top of this page.

Your trust is the priority.So, we will never secretly update this policy to start tracking you more or selling your data. No secret edits. Any changes will be made simply, honestly, and always in defense of your quiet.

Questions? Concerns? Weird Dreams?

We put a lot of care into this, but we're not legal robots. If you've still got questions, a worry, or just need to share a weird dream, don't hesitate to break the quiet.
