Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2, 2026

Goldenrod Bakery is a small artisan sourdough operation based in Wilmington, MA. We collect a little information from you so we can take your order, get it ready, and let you know when it's time for pickup. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

If anything is unclear, email us at hello@goldenrod-bakery.com.

Information we collect

  • Order info: your name, email, phone number, the items you order, and the drop / pickup window you select.
  • Payment info: processed entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your card number — Stripe handles all payment data.
  • Drop-reminder signups: if you sign up to be reminded about upcoming drops, we save your email and (optionally, if you opt into SMS reminders) your phone number and name.
  • Reviews: if you submit a review, we save the name and rating you provide along with your message.
  • Session data: we use browser storage to remember items in your cart between page loads. We do not use tracking cookies or analytics that follow you around the web.

How we use your information

  • To take and prepare your order.
  • To send you order confirmations and let you know when your order is ready for pickup (via email or SMS, per the channel you chose at checkout).
  • To send you reminders about upcoming drops, if you asked for them.
  • To improve our products and service.

SMS messaging

When you check the SMS box at checkout (or on a drop-reminder signup), you're opting in to receive text messages from Goldenrod Bakery related to your order or the drop you signed up for.

What we send

  • Order confirmations when you place an order.
  • A “your order is ready” text at pickup time.
  • Drop reminders when a drop you signed up for is opening soon.

How often

Typically 1–3 messages per order; 1 per drop reminder you sign up for. We don't send marketing blasts.

Opting out

Reply STOP to any of our messages and we'll stop sending you SMS immediately. You'll still get email updates about any orders or reminders you signed up for. To get help, reply HELP or email us at hello@goldenrod-bakery.com.

Costs and disclaimers

Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. SMS is supported on major US carriers (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and others).

Who we share information with

We share the minimum necessary information with the following service providers, only to make the bakery work:

  • Stripe — payment processing.
  • Resend — sending order and reminder emails.
  • Twilio — sending SMS messages.
  • Firebase / Google Cloud — hosting and storing order data.

We do not sell, rent, or share your phone number or email address with anyone for marketing purposes.

Children

Goldenrod Bakery is for adults ordering bread. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

Changes to this policy

If we update this policy, we'll change the “Last updated” date at the top. Material changes will also get a heads-up notice on the site or in a message to active customers.
