SlowRing is a trade name of Ford Family Vending LLC, a Texas limited liability company. This page says what happens to your data when you look at this site and when you buy a shirt.
This site now measures how it is used
It did not used to. This page said so, and said to check in the developer tools. That changed, so this section changed with it. The measuring is done by HeyCatch, and here is all of it.
- It records page views, clicks and which pages you move between. The measurement can include the page and referring address, campaign tags, and basic browser, device and performance details.
- It creates random browser and session identifiers. It keeps the browser identifier in local storage and a first-party cookie; the cookie can remain for up to a year.
- It is not loaded on the order-confirmation page. That page contains your email address, delivery address and order details, so it is kept outside analytics entirely. SlowRing does not send HeyCatch the Stripe session id or an order record.
- The code is loaded from esm.sh and the measurements are sent to in.heycatch.ai. Like other web services, both receive the IP address and browser headers needed to answer the request.
Open the developer tools and check that too.
What is still not here
- No advertising pixels. No Meta pixel, no Google tag, no ad-platform conversion tracking of any kind.
- No session recording and no heatmaps. Nothing plays back what you did on the page.
- No accounts and no passwords, so there is nothing to sign up for and no login to leak.
- The stylesheet, the fonts and the images are still served from slowring.com.
- Nothing about you is sold, and nothing is shared for advertising.
Your cart
The cart is stored in your own browser, in localStorage, under the key slowring.cart.v1. The public-shop measurements described above still apply while you browse, but the cart contents are not sent to SlowRing until you check a discount code or start checkout. Then the item ids and quantities go to slowring.com, which works out the price and hands the order to Stripe.
Where your data goes when you order
The services directly involved are:
- Stripe takes the payment. You type your name, email address and shipping address into Stripe's own checkout form. Card details go to Stripe. SlowRing never sees or stores a card number.
- Printful prints the shirt and posts it. It receives your name, shipping address and email address.
- Postmark sends your confirmation email. That email contains your name, shipping address, what you ordered and the total, so Postmark handles all of it.
- Cloudflare hosts the site and stores the order record described below.
- HeyCatch measures visits and clicks on the public shopping pages. It is not loaded on the order-confirmation page and receives no order record from SlowRing.
Hosting and the order record
Cloudflare sits in front of every request, so like any host it sees the IP address and browser of each visit. Cloudflare itself builds no profile from that for us.
When an order is placed, a record is written to Cloudflare's key-value storage: the Stripe session id, your email address, the items, the total, and whether the confirmation email went out. If something fails, a second record is written with the reason so it can be fixed by hand — a confirmation that never arrived, a shirt that never reached the printer. The order line written to Cloudflare's logs contains the same email address.
Nothing expires these records. They stay until they are deleted by hand.
The ad on Meta
SlowRing runs an ad on Meta. There is no Meta pixel on this site, so Meta receives nothing from the site — not your visit, not your cart, not your purchase.
What is not done with it
Nothing is sold. Nothing is shared for advertising. The data above is used to take your money, print your shirt, post it to you, and send you a confirmation.
