Tangled Thistle
Privacy Policy
Privacy practices for Tangled Thistle at tangledthistle.blog, including information you provide, technical data, cookies, editorial tools, retention, choices, and company-level commerce support.
Effective: September 14, 2026
Last reviewed: September 14, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Tangled Thistle, published by Northern Lantern House LLC, handles information on tangledthistle.blog and in Tangled Thistle tools that explicitly link to this policy. Separately hosted applications such as Space Lab and Atmosphere OS may provide their own notices; where they do, the notice presented by that application controls for information entered there.
1. Information you choose to provide
You may provide a name, email address, message, correction or accessibility report, subscription preference, account or order information, survey response, or planning inputs requested by a tool. Event-planning tools may ask for guest counts, venue constraints, budget ranges, timing, service needs, or design preferences.
Do not submit passwords, full payment-card numbers, government identifiers, private guest lists, confidential contracts, exact private addresses, or sensitive personal information a feature does not need.
2. Information collected automatically
Hosting, security, consent, analytics, advertising, commerce, email, and delivery services may receive technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages requested, timestamps, consent choices, error data, and security events.
3. Cookies, consent, analytics, advertising, and local storage
Strictly necessary technologies may be used for security, consent choices, sessions, account access, carts, checkout, and requested features. Optional analytics and advertising technologies are controlled through the site’s consent system where required. Tangled Thistle may use Google services, including Google AdSense, and enabled Google services may process identifiers and activity under their own privacy notices.
WooCommerce, payment providers, MailPoet, security services, and other enabled services may set or read cookies when their functions are used. Some planning tools may keep working data in your browser. If an application saves, syncs, or sends information beyond the current session, its own notice should explain that behavior.
You can change optional choices using Cookie Settings. Google advertising preferences can also be managed through Google My Ad Center or browser controls. The live register below is generated by the site’s consent software.
4. Contact, email, and subscriptions
Information you provide through contact or email subscription features is used to respond, deliver requested communications, maintain consent and suppression records, prevent abuse, and keep appropriate operational records. Marketing email includes an unsubscribe method.
5. Accounts, purchases, and payment
When you purchase a Tangled Thistle product, Northern Lantern House LLC is the seller of record. Order records may include the product, price, date, delivery or entitlement status, billing information needed for the transaction, and the purchase email address. Payment is processed by the provider shown at checkout; Tangled Thistle does not receive the full payment-card number.
6. Event, venue, and planning inputs
Planning tools are designed to use only information reasonably needed for the requested result. Avoid private guest identities, private medical or accessibility details about named guests, exact private addresses, credentials, payment details, or confidential agreements unless a specific feature clearly requires the information and explains how it is handled.
Venue pricing, capacity, accessibility, rules, availability, and public evidence may be stored as planning information. Those facts can change and should be confirmed with the venue or responsible source before a live event.
7. Separately hosted companion applications
Space Lab and Atmosphere OS are separately hosted applications on their own domains. Following a link to a separate application means leaving tangledthistle.blog. The cookie settings on this website do not automatically govern a separate origin. Check the notice presented by the application before entering information you would not want stored or processed there.
8. Advertising, affiliate links, sponsors, and external services
Tangled Thistle may use display advertising, affiliate links, sponsorships, gifted access, owned products, maps, embeds, or links to third-party services. Those services may process information under their own terms and privacy notices. Commercial relationships are disclosed where relevant to a recommendation.
9. How information is used
- to provide requested pages, tools, products, communications, and support;
- to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the site and applications;
- to process purchases, delivery, entitlement, recovery, refunds, and accounting;
- to measure audience and service performance when permitted;
- to prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access;
- to maintain consent, correction, suppression, security, and audit records; and
- to comply with law and protect rights, safety, privacy, and service integrity.
10. Service providers and sharing
Information may be processed by providers that support hosting, content delivery, security, consent, analytics, advertising, email, forms, commerce, payment, backups, and application infrastructure. Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, investigate abuse, protect rights or safety, or complete a legitimate business transfer with appropriate safeguards.
Tangled Thistle does not sell personal information as a stand-alone data product. Advertising technology can still involve activity that some laws define as sharing or targeted advertising.
11. Retention and security
Information is kept only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, security, backups, accounting, consent records, legal obligations, disputes, and purchase recovery. Reasonable safeguards are used, but no website, application, or transmission method can guarantee absolute security.
12. Privacy choices and rights
Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or obtain a copy of personal information, and to withdraw consent for optional processing. California and other U.S. state laws may provide rights concerning certain sale, sharing, targeted-advertising, or profiling uses. EEA and UK residents may have additional data-protection rights and may complain to the appropriate supervisory authority.
Use the Tangled Thistle contact page for a privacy request. We may need to verify identity before fulfilling it. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a right provided by applicable law.
13. Children
Tangled Thistle is not designed to collect children’s personal information through public tools. Do not submit identifying or sensitive information about children through ordinary planning or editorial features unless a specific feature clearly requires it and appropriate consent and safeguards are in place.
14. Changes and contact
Material changes are reflected in the effective or last-reviewed date. For privacy questions, use the contact page or email hello@northernlanternhouse.com.
