Our Promise to You
We’re Tyler and Brady, two brothers who started this business to bring our neighbors firewood they can count on. We want you to trust us with your information the same way you trust us with your fire.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it. We’ve written it in plain language so you know exactly where you stand.
When we say “we,” “us,” or “our,” we mean kilndriedfirewoodnearme.com and the people who run it. When we say “you,” we mean anyone who visits our website, places an order, or contacts us.
By using our website or services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We only collect the information we need to get your firewood to you and keep you in the loop.
Information You Give Us
When you place an order, request a quote, sign up for updates, or reach out to us, you may share:
- Your name, so we know who we’re serving
- Your delivery address, so we know where to bring your wood
- Your email address, for order confirmations and updates
- Your phone number, so we can coordinate delivery times
- Payment details, such as your card number and billing address
- Delivery notes, like gate codes, stacking preferences, or where to leave your order
- Messages you send us, including questions, feedback, or special requests
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, some information is gathered automatically, including:
- Your IP address and general location (such as city or region)
- Your browser type and device type
- The pages you visit and how long you stay

This helps us understand how people use our site so we can make it better.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information for clear, practical reasons:
- Order fulfillment: To process your order, take payment, and send confirmations and receipts.
- Delivery coordination: To schedule your delivery, contact you about timing, and make sure your wood ends up in the right spot.
- Customer service: To answer your questions, resolve issues, and follow up on feedback.

- Website improvement: To understand what’s working on our site and what isn’t.
- Safety and legal needs: To prevent fraud, protect our business, and meet legal obligations.
Your Marketing Choices
You’re always in control of our marketing messages. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any email or by contacting us directly. Even if you opt out of marketing, we’ll still send messages related to your orders, such as confirmations and delivery updates.
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. Period.
We don’t rent it, trade it, or hand it off to anyone looking to market to you. We only share your information when it’s necessary to run our business and serve you, including with:
- Payment processors: Trusted third-party companies that securely handle your payment. We don’t store your full card number on our systems.
- Service providers: Companies that help us with things like website hosting, email delivery, scheduling, or analytics. They may only use your information to perform services for us.
- Delivery partners: If anyone other than us helps with a delivery, we share only what they need, such as your name, address, and delivery notes.
- Legal requirements: We may share information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our customers, our business, or others.
- Business changes: If our business is ever sold or merged, your information may transfer to the new owner, who would be expected to respect this policy.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Like most websites, we use cookies. These are small text files saved on your device when you visit our site.
How We Use Cookies

5. How We Protect Your Information
We take protecting your information seriously. Our safeguards include:
- Secure connections (SSL encryption) that protect data as it moves between your device and our website
