How we collect, use, and protect your information at culturecave.store. Plain English, no fine-print games. Last updated July 4, 2026.
Culture Cave is a discovery front-door and hosting platform for independent mycology vendors. When you buy from a vendor listed here, you buy from that vendor directly. They take their own payment through their own payment processor, and they handle their own fulfilment, shipping, and returns.
Because of that, one thing is worth saying up front and in plain terms: we never take, see, or store your payment card details. Those live with the vendor's own processor, not with us. The rest of this policy explains what we do collect, why, and what you can do about it.
This is an honest, plain-English template. It is not legal advice. Please review it with your own counsel before you rely on it.
We try to keep this list short and only collect what we actually need to run the platform.
This is the part people care about most, so we want it to be unmistakable.
We never take or store your payment card details. When you buy from an independent vendor on Culture Cave, the payment happens on that vendor's own payment processor. Your card number, CVV, and full billing card data go to the vendor's processor, not to Culture Cave. We never touch the money and we do not receive or keep your card information.
We also do not sell your personal information.
We use the data above for a handful of ordinary, practical reasons.
We are not in the business of passing your data around. We share it only in these situations.
Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies. Some are necessary to make the site work (like keeping you logged in). Others help us understand how the site is used through analytics tools so we can improve it.
You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you can usually block or delete them. Just know that turning some of them off may affect how parts of the site work.
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect the information we hold, and we limit access to it. No method of storing or transmitting data over the internet is ever completely secure, so while we work hard to protect your information, we cannot promise absolute security. If something ever goes wrong that affects you, we will act responsibly and in line with applicable law.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information. In general, you can ask us to:
Culture Cave is not intended for anyone under 18. Buyers must be 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe a minor has given us their information, please contact us at info@culturecave.store and we will remove it.
Culture Cave is based in Colorado, USA, and our vendors ship worldwide. If you use the platform from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other countries where we or our service providers operate. Data protection laws in those places may differ from the ones where you live. By using Culture Cave, you understand that your information may be handled this way.
We may update this policy from time to time as the platform grows or the law changes. When we do, we will update the date at the top, and for bigger changes we will do our best to give you a clearer heads-up. Please check back now and then so you always know where things stand.
