Front Porch Privacy Notes

A plain-language account of the very little we keep, where we keep it, and how it stays yours.

The Short Version, Porch-Swing Simple

You are browsing a lookbook, and lookbooks should be peaceful. The only note this showcase keeps sits in your own browser's storage, and it remembers two small things: the display you prefer and the flavor family you last opened on the tasting deck.

Everything else — wandering the collection rows, reading the batch ledger, drafting a keepsake crate slip — happens on the page in front of you and leaves with you when you close it.

Display and Flavor-Matching Preferences

When you choose Remember My Preferences on the notice card, we save one short note under the storage key pecanHollow.porchPreferences.v1. It reads something like display=lookbook;flavor=maple-and-timber, and its only job is to open the tasting deck the way you left it on your next visit.

  • The note lives in your browser's own local storage, on your device.
  • It holds your display choice and your last tasting-deck flavor family, and nothing else.
  • Choosing Browse for Today leaves the note unwritten, and the notice card steps off the porch either way.
  • You may clear the note any time through your browser's settings for stored site data.

Letters to the Kitchen

If you write to us at pecanhollow.confections@gmail.com to plan a keepsake tin or ask after a batch, we keep your letter and our reply so the conversation can continue. Correspondence stays in the kitchen drawer, so to speak, and is used only to answer you well.

Quiet Technical Records

The service that delivers these pages to your browser keeps the ordinary technical records such a service keeps — pages requested and the like — for routine upkeep. That is the extent of it, and it is out of our hands and in the care of the hosting service.

When These Notes Change

If the porch ever changes — new pages, new preferences worth remembering — we will rewrite these notes in the same plain language and post the date below.
