Your information. Handled with care.

Who we are

This Privacy Policy describes how DSSES LLC (“DSSES,” “we,” or “us”) handles personal information collected through dsses.org, our checkout, and our digital profile, restaurant menu, and NFC-related services.

For privacy questions or requests, contact DSSES using our website form. Please do not submit sensitive payment information in the contact form.

Information you provide

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

• Contact and inquiry information: your name, email address, business or restaurant name, questions, preferences, and other details you voluntarily submit through our contact, profile consultation, or menu quote forms.
• Order and shipping information: items ordered, order number, business name, billing and shipping address, contact email, and an optional phone number if you choose to provide one at checkout.
• Project information: content and materials needed to prepare your digital profile or restaurant menu, such as business descriptions, contact details, menu content, public links, logo assets, and approved project requirements.
• Payment and transaction information: the payment status, amount, billing details, and transaction identifiers needed to process and reconcile purchases. Sensitive payment card information is handled through our payment provider.
• Communication records: emails, support requests, quotes, project approvals, and messages exchanged about your order or service.

Information collected automatically

Our website and its service providers may collect technical information such as IP address, device and browser type, referring pages, approximate location inferred from IP, cookies, and site interaction data. These help the site operate, keep checkout working, detect abuse, and—when enabled—measure performance.

WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Jetpack, and other enabled integrations may use cookies or similar technologies for essential site functions, cart and checkout sessions, spam prevention, security, and forms. Optional analytics, advertising pixels, or conversion measurement tools may also collect information about browsing or purchases when their integrations are configured and enabled.

Cookies, advertising tools, and browser signals

We and our website service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to maintain shopping carts, checkout sessions, security, spam protection, and site performance. Some WordPress.com, Jetpack, WooCommerce, or other service-provider features may also collect technical usage or diagnostic information.

DSSES has disabled the Google for WooCommerce and Snapchat for WooCommerce integrations and is not using those plugins for advertising campaigns or conversion tracking at this time. If we later enable advertising or additional analytics tools, we will review applicable disclosures, consent requirements, and privacy choices before doing so.

You may be able to manage or block certain cookies through your browser settings, although disabling necessary cookies can interfere with checkout. Browsers may also send privacy preference signals such as Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. The effect of those signals depends on applicable law and the technologies in use; please contact us if you have questions or wish to make a privacy request.

How we use information

• Respond to inquiries and prepare profile consultations or restaurant menu quotes.
• Identify the correct publicly available business or Google review destination when programming an NFC display.
• Process payments, fulfill orders, arrange shipping, and provide updates by email.
• Design, host, maintain, and update digital profiles and restaurant menus as agreed with clients.
• Prevent fraud, troubleshoot technical issues, protect our website, and meet legal, tax, and recordkeeping obligations.
• Send optional marketing communications only where you have subscribed or otherwise authorized them; you can unsubscribe from promotional emails.

We do not require a customer account for ordinary product checkout. We are not planning SMS order updates at launch. A phone number supplied for delivery or support is not, by itself, consent to marketing or automated text messages.

Payments and service providers

We use WooCommerce to manage the storefront and orders and Stripe to process card payments offered at online checkout. Stripe may receive payment and billing details needed to process transactions under its own privacy terms. DSSES receives transaction and order details but does not need to store your complete card number or card security code in the WordPress order database.

We share information as reasonably necessary with providers that help us operate DSSES, such as WordPress.com/Automattic hosting, Jetpack forms, Akismet spam protection, WooCommerce, Stripe, shipping carriers, and email delivery providers. MailPoet is installed, and a marketing email opt-in option may appear at checkout. Choosing not to receive promotional email does not prevent required order or service messages.

Business details you provide may be compared with public listings to configure a Google review link or digital content you request. We do not sell customer contact lists for money. Privacy laws may use broader definitions of sale or sharing; if we adopt advertising practices that trigger additional rights or notices, we will update our practices and disclosures as required.

Customer digital profiles: visibility and privacy

What customers choose to publish: We create customer digital profiles using the photographs, name, contact details, professional information, links, and other content a customer chooses to provide and approves for publication. DSSES will request approval of the intended profile content before the profile is initially made accessible through its personal link. Customers can contact us to request corrections or removal.

Unlisted does not mean private: Standard hosted profiles are not included in DSSES’s homepage, public directories, portfolio, or service listings without separate, express permission. We also use available noindex directives and exclude profiles from XML sitemaps where supported. These measures limit discoverability but do not require a password and cannot guarantee non-discovery or removal from every search engine. Anyone with the personal URL may view and redistribute its contents. Uploaded photographs and media may have their own publicly accessible URLs.

How we handle profile information: We use approved materials to build, host, maintain, troubleshoot, and update customer profiles under the agreed service plan, including processing by relevant hosting and service providers. We do not use identifiable customer profiles, photographs, or personal information in DSSES advertising, public design demonstrations, or its portfolio without the customer’s separate, express consent. We do not treat approval to publish a personal profile as permission for marketing use.

Corrections, removal, and cancellation: Customers may contact DSSES to request access, corrections, or removal of their profiles, subject to applicable law and identity verification when needed. The service agreement sets out hosting, cancellation, and transition arrangements. Removing an active profile does not necessarily remove previously downloaded, cached, independently shared, or backed-up copies. We may retain records as needed for legal, accounting, security, or support purposes under the retention practices described below.

For further details about customer-profile access, publication approval, ownership, and hosting, see our Terms & Conditions.

How long we keep information

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill orders and projects, provide support, preserve appropriate business records, resolve disputes, and comply with applicable legal obligations. Actual retention depends on the type of record and the settings of our WordPress, WooCommerce, Jetpack, and payment systems.

Information may be removed or anonymized when it is no longer needed, subject to legal recordkeeping requirements and the available tools and retention settings of our service providers. WooCommerce lets site administrators set different retention periods for pending, failed, canceled, and completed orders and inactive accounts. Our WooCommerce retention settings specify different periods for different order statuses and inactive accounts; records may be retained longer where required for accounting, tax, security, or legal purposes.

Your choices and privacy requests

Depending on where you live, the laws applicable to DSSES, and the information at issue, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or to opt out of certain uses such as legally defined sale, sharing, or targeted advertising. Contact DSSES to ask about or exercise available rights. We may need to verify your identity and retain records we are legally required to keep. We will review and respond to requests as required by applicable privacy laws.

If you receive an optional promotional email, use the unsubscribe option included with that email or contact us. Operational order or project emails may still be needed to deliver a service you requested.

Security

We use the security tools and access controls available through our website and payment providers and seek to limit access to customer information to people who need it to operate DSSES. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Third-party links and children

Our NFC displays or website may link to independent services such as Google, social networks, or a business’s own website. Their privacy terms apply when you visit those destinations.

Our products and services are intended for business customers and adults, not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact DSSES so we can address it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our services and practices evolve. Any updated policy will include a revised “Last updated” date. Material changes will be communicated as required by applicable law.
