Privacy Policy

Last updated August 19, 2026. This describes what this site actually does, not what a template says a site might do.

The short version

  • We collect what we need to send you your order and answer your questions. That is it.
  • We have never sold your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising.
  • This storefront uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits and understand which pages help people find what they came for. It runs no advertising or retargeting trackers, and we never sell or share your information. Your cart lives in your own browser.
  • We never see your card number. Stripe handles that.
  • Want your data deleted? Email us and we will do it.

1. Who we are

Kali.J Design, operating as The Toy Showroom, 1302 Monte Vista Ave, Suite 21, Upland, CA 91786. We are the business responsible for the information described here. Contact us any time at [email protected] or (909) 870-7095.

2. What we collect, and why

All of it comes directly from you. We do not buy lists and we do not append data about you from outside sources.

When you place an order

The checkout does not ask for a phone number. If we have your number, it is because you gave it to us on an offer, an appointment request, or in the showroom.

When you make an offer

We store the item, your offer amount, your email, your name and phone number if you chose to give them, any message you wrote, and the IP address the offer came from — the IP is kept to stop abuse and rate-limit spam offers, nothing else.

We keep offers even when we decline them, and we want to be straight about why: a declined offer tells us our asking price is wrong. That pricing history is genuinely useful to us. If you would rather we did not keep yours, say so and we will remove it.

When you book a visit or contact us

Your name, contact details and whatever you tell us, so we can be there when you arrive and answer your question.

What we never collect

Card numbers, CVV codes, bank account details. Those go straight to Stripe on Stripe's own page and never reach our servers. We also do not ask for your date of birth, your Social Security number, or a government ID for an online order.

3. The companies that see your data

This is the complete list of service providers involved in an order. Each one gets only what it needs to do its job, and none of them are permitted to use your information for their own marketing.

StripeTakes your payment. Receives your email, the order total and the item names, and handles all card data. We receive back only a confirmation that you paid.
ShippoGets live USPS and UPS rates and prints the label. Receives your ship-to name and address plus the parcel's weight and dimensions.
USPS / UPSThe carrier delivering your parcel gets your name and address, because that is what a shipping label is.
ResendSends our transactional email — offer accepted or countered, and payment links. Receives your email address and the message.
SMS providerSends order and appointment texts — only if you gave us a phone number. Reply STOP to any message to stop them.
TelegramWhen you make an offer, it is relayed to the owner's phone so a person can answer it quickly. That notification includes your name, email, the amount and your message.
GroqPowers Val, our chat assistant, when a question needs phrasing we could not look up. Receives the message you typed and the last few turns of that conversation, in the United States. It does not receive your name, email or address unless you type them into the chat, and nothing you type is used to train anyone’s model.
CloudflareSits in front of this website for security and delivery, and processes connection data such as your IP address in the normal course of serving the page.

Val, our chat assistant

Val is an assistant, not a person. Most of what she answers — stock, prices, shipping estimates, hours — comes straight from our own catalogue and never leaves our server. When a question needs phrasing we could not look up, the message and the last few turns go to our AI provider (see the table above).

We keep the conversation, the page you were on, and your IP address, so that a real person can pick up the thread if you ask for one and so we can stop abuse. If you ask us to escalate, whatever you give us — name, email, phone — goes to the owner’s phone so a human can answer you. Anything Val tells you about an order, a price or a policy is our best information, not a binding offer — the terms on your order and our posted policies govern. If she gets something wrong, tell us and we will make it right.

Beyond that list, we disclose information only when the law requires it, or if the business is ever sold or transferred — in which case your information would move with the business records and this policy would continue to apply until you were told otherwise.

4. Cookies, and what is really in your browser

Most privacy policies have a long cookie section because most sites are full of trackers. Ours is short because this one is not.

One honest exception: when you go to pay, you are on Stripe's checkout page, and Stripe sets its own cookies there for fraud prevention. That is Stripe's domain under Stripe's privacy policy, and it is a normal part of not getting your card stolen.

Because we run no cross-site tracking, a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal has nothing to switch off here. There is no behavioral profile of you to suppress.

5. We do not sell your personal information

We have never sold or rented personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not disclose it to third parties for their own direct marketing, so there is nothing to request under California's “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code § 1798.83) — but ask us anyway if you want it confirmed in writing.

We do not knowingly collect or sell the personal information of anyone under 16.

6. How long we keep things

7. Your California rights — the honest version

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, applies to a business only if it meets at least one of these three tests:

We are a single-location small business in Upland with a few thousand items for sale. We do not meet any of those thresholds, so the CCPA very likely does not legally apply to us. We are telling you that plainly instead of copying a compliance page we do not qualify for. We honor the requests anyway — the rights below are ours to give, and it costs us nothing to treat you the way the law would.

So, on request, you can ask us to:

8. How to make a request

Email [email protected] with the subject line Privacy request, or call (909) 870-7095. Tell us what you want done.

To protect you, we verify requests against the email address on your order — we will not hand your order history to whoever emails us claiming to be you. We aim to respond within a few days and will not take longer than 45 days. An authorized agent may act for you with written permission.

What we cannot delete: the sales records behind a completed purchase, for as long as tax law requires us to keep them; and Stripe's own record of your payment, which lives with Stripe under their retention rules. Everything else goes.

9. Security

This site is served over HTTPS. Payment credentials never reach our systems. Our service credentials are held in a restricted secrets store rather than in application code, and access to order data is limited to the owner and the systems listed above.

We are not going to claim your data is perfectly safe, because no one can honestly claim that. If a breach affecting your personal information ever happens, we will notify you as required by California Civil Code § 1798.82.

10. Children

This site is meant for adult collectors and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, email us and we will delete it.

11. Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top. If we ever start doing something materially different with your information — analytics, advertising, anything of that kind — we will say so here explicitly rather than quietly widening the wording.
