Privacy Policy

The short version.

We collect what we need to run Small Statements and fulfil orders.
If you sign up to emails, we’ll only send what you’ve agreed to – no spam, no harassment.
We don’t sell your data. Ever.
You can unsubscribe or request deletion at any time.

Don’t worry, we got you.
