Your email, and what we do with it
We're an ice cream stand, not a marketing company. This page is short because what we do is short.
The whole thing, in one paragraph.
If you give us your email address, we use it to tell you when we open for the season. That is roughly one email a year. We do not send anything else, we do not sell or share the list, and you can be taken off it by asking.
What we collect
Only an email address, and only if you type one into the form yourself. Nothing is collected from you just for reading this site.
We store the address, the date you gave it to us, and a note that it came from the website. That's all three pieces.
What we use it for
One thing: telling you when the stand opens for the season. It goes out about a week beforehand so you can plan around it. We're seasonal, so opening day is genuinely news, and it's the only thing we think is worth your inbox.
We will not use it for promotions, offers, newsletters, birthday coupons, or anything else. If we ever wanted to, we'd ask you first rather than assume.
Who else sees it
Nobody. We don't sell the list, rent it, trade it, or hand it to advertisers.
The addresses sit in a Google Firebase database that only the shop's owner can open. The list is deliberately locked so it cannot be read from the website — addresses can go in, but nothing can be pulled back out over the internet.
Getting off the list
Email Charliesicecream78@gmail.com and say so, or call 412-367-2735. No form to fill out, no reason needed. Every email we send has a way to unsubscribe as well.
Cookies and tracking
This site sets no cookies, has no advertising, and runs no analytics or tracking scripts. There's nothing here following you around.
Two things do load from elsewhere, so it's fair to name them. The current temperature shown on the front page comes from Open-Meteo, a free weather service — it's asked about Monroeville, not about you, and nothing about you is sent to it. The site is hosted on Google Firebase, which keeps standard server logs the way every web host does.
If you add this site to your phone's home screen, it saves a copy of the menu on your own device so it still works without a signal. That copy stays on your phone and isn't sent anywhere.
Children
We sell ice cream, so plenty of our customers are kids — but the email form is meant for grown-ups, and we don't knowingly collect addresses from children under 13. If one ends up on the list, tell us and we'll remove it.
