We document our data collection and advertising protocols plainly.
The Honey House maintains a direct-inquiry apiary catalogue without automated user accounts or credit card processing. This document specifies what our inquiry handler logs, how digital advertising networks measure website traffic, and the strict technical thresholds governing consent.
This privacy disclosure took effect on November 12, 2026.
This privacy policy is current and took effect on November 12, 2026. It applies to all electronic records, batch inquiries, support conversations, and traffic measurements originating from the website thehoneyhousewy.com and our physical workshop operations in Dubois, Wyoming.
We review this text annually or immediately whenever federal, Wyoming state, or advertising network standards update their disclosure mandates.
Thehoneyhousewy operates as sole controller from Dubois, Wyoming.
The data controller responsible for the processing of information gathered through this website is:
All questions regarding data protection, workshop records, or apiary order specifications should be directed to owner Anna Kuznetsova at the address above.
We record specific form entries, chat logs, and click identifiers.
Our website does not require registration, passwords, or customer accounts. We collect information exclusively across three technical touchpoints:
- Inquiry Form Submissions (`hoca913.php`): We record customer name, optional phone number, optional email address, delivery address, selected honey or gift set category, calculated batch specifications, personal notes, and affirmative consent verification.
- Automated Telemetry Logs: For security and spam detection, every submission records the visitor IP address, browser user-agent string, referring URL, timestamp when the page was served, and timestamp when the form was received.
- Live Support Chat (`wizodd2.php`): Conversation transcripts, optional contact details provided in chat, and a randomized local session token persisted in browser storage.
- Advertising Click Identifiers: Inbound URL parameters appended by advertising networks when a user clicks a campaign link, including Google click identifiers (`gclid`), Microsoft click identifiers (`msclkid`), and Meta click identifiers (`fbclid`).
We do not take payments on this website, do not store credit card numbers, and do not maintain automated billing profiles.
We collect information solely to fulfill orders and verify campaigns.
We process personal data for clearly delineated business purposes:
- Evaluating and quoting custom honey gift sets, bulk jars, and apiary product requests.
- Contacting customers by telephone or email to confirm extraction availability, delivery logistics, and Dubois workshop pickups.
- Maintaining technical server security, debugging transmission failures, and filtering automated spam submissions.
- Measuring the performance and conversion efficacy of paid advertisements on Google, Microsoft, and Meta search and display channels.
- Complying with agricultural product traceability standards and local Wyoming commercial regulations.
Processing rests on explicit consent, contract steps, and legitimate interests.
Every data handling activity carried out by The Honey House is justified under defined legal grounds:
- Consent: When you check the affirmative acknowledgment box on our inquiry forms, agree to browser cookies through our consent banner, or initiate dialogue in the support chat.
- Pre-contractual & Contractual Steps: Processing your contact information, delivery coordinates, and product specifications to prepare accurate batch pricing quotes and coordinate delivery of honey goods.
- Legitimate Interests: Monitoring network traffic to prevent cyber attacks, maintaining honey traceability logs, and assessing aggregate marketing effectiveness without infringing on individual fundamental rights.
We run advertising on Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads.
This website is a commercial destination for active paid advertising campaigns. We acquire visitors through google ads, microsoft advertising, and Meta Ads.
When you click on one of our commercial promotions, the sponsoring network appends a distinct alphanumeric tracking parameter to our destination URL:
- google ads: Attaches the gclid query string to trace ad clicks to downstream conversions.
- microsoft advertising: Attaches the msclkid query string to correlate Bing search queries with website inquiries.
- Meta Ads: Attaches the fbclid query string for campaign measurement across Meta technologies.
These identifiers are processed strictly in accordance with each platform’s advertising standards and user consent declarations.
Consent Mode v2 enforces denied storage states until permission is granted.
Our website implements Google consent mode version 2. When a visitor arrives on our pages, all four advertising and measurement permission flags default immediately to denied:
| Signal Key | Default Initial State | Post-Consent State |
|---|---|---|
ad_storage |
denied | granted (only upon explicit accept) |
ad_user_data |
denied | granted (only upon explicit accept) |
ad_personalization |
denied | granted (only upon explicit accept) |
analytics_storage |
denied | granted (only upon explicit accept) |
If you click “Decline” in our cookie notice or revoke consent via your preferences, all four signals are returned to denied without delay, preventing tracking scripts from storing or accessing persistent identifiers in your browser.
Third-party processors handle hosting, communications, and advertising delivery.
We share data exclusively with trusted third-party technical infrastructure providers under data processing agreements:
- Google LLC & Google Ireland Ltd: Advertising campaign delivery, Google Ads conversion tracking, and infrastructure services.
- Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd & Microsoft Corporation: Search advertising via Microsoft Advertising. You can read how Microsoft processes data at privacy.microsoft.com.
- Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd & Meta Platforms, Inc.: Campaign delivery and conversion measurement for Meta Ads.

International data transfers are safeguarded by Standard Contractual Clauses.
The Honey House is located in the United States. If you visit our website from outside the United States, including the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, personal data you submit will be transferred to and stored on servers located within the United States.
Where cross-border transfers occur between our processors, we rely on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, relevant international adequacy determinations, and the Data Privacy Framework principles to guarantee equivalent legal safeguards.
We enforce precise retention schedules across all operational logs.
We do not keep data indefinitely. Every category of information is erased or anonymized according to a strict schedule:
- Customer Inquiries and Email Copies: Retained for exactly 36 months following submission to assist recurring seasonal gift orders, after which database records are permanently purged.
- Support Chat Transcripts: Stored on the server for 18 months, allowing returning visitors to continue previous conversations.
- Server Access and Telemetry Logs: Maintained for 90 days for network diagnostic and intrusion monitoring, then automatically overwritten.
- Consent Preference Records (`site_consent_v2`): Kept in your local browser for 12 months, after which the consent prompt reappears.
- Formal Data Requests: Handled and verified within 10 days of verified submission.
We protect communication channels with modern encryption and firewalls.
We enforce rigorous technical and physical controls to safeguard your data. All website communication is encrypted in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3) with modern cryptographic cipher suites.
Database files are stored outside public web roots with restricted Unix file permissions, administrative access is protected by multi-factor authentication, and input sanitization routines eliminate SQL injection and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities across all inquiry handlers.
European visitors hold full statutory rights under the gdpr.
For visitors residing within the European Union, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, our handling complies with the general data protection regulation (gdpr). You have the right to:

We automatically honour the global privacy control browser signal.
Our website recognizes and respects the global privacy control (GPC) signal transmitted by compatible web browsers. If your browser broadcasts an active GPC opt-out header (`Sec-GPC: 1`), our consent layer automatically disables third-party advertising tags and updates Consent Mode signals to denied without requiring you to open our banner.
