Ahead sheep strive to stay innocent as a dove and wise as a serpent, trusting the shepherd to keep them safe. What makes them innocent? Stubborn integrity in all things. What makes them wise? Who they choose as the shepherd.

While the Company implements reasonable security measures to protect your data, it cannot guarantee absolute security. The Company is not liable for unauthorized access to your data unless such access results from the Company's failure to implement reasonable security measures.
Indemnification: You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site and Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another.

Governing Law: These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Informal Resolution: Users should first contact the Company to resolve disputes informally. Most concerns can be quickly resolved through communication.
Legal Recourse: If informal resolution is not successful, any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms will be resolved in the courts of Wisconsin.
Optional Binding Arbitration: If informal resolution is unsuccessful, both parties may voluntarily agree to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration, which can save time and legal costs. The arbitration would be conducted in accordance with the rules of a mutually agreed-upon arbitration provider. However, arbitration is not mandatory, and users may pursue other legal remedies if preferred.
Small Claims Court: For disputes that qualify, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court in the state of Wisconsin.
Class Action Waiver (Applicable to Arbitration Only): If both parties agree to resolve a dispute through binding arbitration, disputes must be resolved on an individual basis and not as part of a class, consolidated, or representative action. In such cases, users waive any right to participate in a class action or to request a jury trial. This waiver does not apply if the dispute is pursued in a court of law.
International Use and Jurisdiction: Users accessing the Site from outside the United States agree that these Terms, as well as any disputes arising from the use of the Site or Services, will be governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, USA.

Users located in countries with mandatory consumer protection laws may be entitled to protections under their local laws. In such cases, those protections will apply only to the extent required by local law, while all other provisions remain governed by U.S. law.
If you have any questions about this Dispute Resolution policy, please contact the Company.

Tips are processed securely by Stripe, a third-party payment provider. By leaving a tip, you agree that your payment information will be handled in accordance with Stripe's terms and privacy policy.

Your privacy is important, and this Privacy Policy explains how information about you is collected, used, and disclosed by the Company when you visit the website https://www.aheadsheep.com (the "Site") and use the Company's services (collectively, the "Services").
Consent to this policy: By accessing or using the Site and Services, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the Site and Services immediately.
Questions or concerns: If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact the Company.
The Company collects minimal information to provide services to users. Currently, the only information retained on Company servers is IP addresses in standard access and error logs, which are rotated every 90 days. In the future, additional information may be collected if you choose to use optional features such as newsletters or cloud storage, and any such changes will always be reflected in this policy.
IP Address: IP addresses may be collected for security, fraud detection, or performance monitoring purposes. These may be stored temporarily in access logs for the following purposes:
IP addresses are not used for profiling, tracking, or analytics by the Company. If you choose to use optional features in the future (such as newsletters or cloud storage), additional information you provide will only be collected as necessary to deliver those services.
Local Storage: The Site also makes use of local browser storage technologies, such as IndexedDB (IDB), to save settings, preferences, and project data directly on your device. This information is never transmitted to the Company's servers and remains entirely under your control.
Tips and Payments: If you choose to leave a tip, payment information is processed directly by Stripe. The Company does not store or have access to your credit card details. Please refer to Stripe's Privacy Policy for more information.
To manage any optional tracking or data collection, the Company uses Cookiebot to allow users to control their consent preferences. By default, no non-essential tracking is performed unless you grant consent.
For more details, please refer to the Cookie Policy.
Security Measures: The Company uses encryption and other security measures to protect sensitive personal data where appropriate.

Questions about the use of your information: If you have any questions about how your information is used, please contact the Company.
No Routine Sharing: The Company does not sell or share personal data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. The only third-party service currently in use is Cookiebot, which processes consent preferences solely to help the Site comply with privacy laws. No data is used for profiling or advertising.
For Legal Compliance: Information may be disclosed if required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or government requests.
For Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of the Company's assets, user information may be transferred to the new owner as part of that transaction.
With Your Consent: Information will only be shared with third parties if you have given your explicit consent (for example, if you opt in to optional features such as newsletters or cloud storage in the future).
Current Use of Storage: The Site uses local browser storage technologies, including IndexedDB (IDB), to save settings, preferences, and project data directly on your device. This information is not transmitted to the Company's servers and remains under your control. You can clear this stored data at any time through your browser's settings.
Cookies: The Site makes minimal use of traditional cookies. Essential cookies may be set to support basic functionality (such as remembering consent choices). These cookies do not track users across websites or build behavioral profiles.
Consent Management: The Site uses Cookiebot to comply with applicable privacy laws and provide users with control over any non-essential cookies or tracking technologies. By default, no non-essential cookies are set unless you provide consent.
Future Use: If the Company introduces optional features in the future that rely on cookies or third-party services (such as analytics or advertising), those services may place cookies or similar technologies. Any such changes will be disclosed in this policy and subject to your consent.
The Company takes the security of user information seriously. At present, the only personal data collected by the Site consists of IP addresses in temporary server logs, which are automatically deleted after 90 days. All project data created in the Site's tools is stored locally in your browser (e.g., IndexedDB) and never sent to the Company's servers.
To protect the limited data the Company does handle, the following measures are in place:
While these measures reduce risk, no security system is impenetrable. Users remain in control of locally stored data (IndexedDB) and may clear it at any time through their browser settings.
If you have any questions about data security, please contact the Company.
Retention period: The Company retains personal data only for as long as necessary to provide services and comply with legal obligations. At present, the only personal data collected is IP addresses in server access logs, which are securely stored for 90 days and then permanently deleted. After deletion, the data is irretrievable and cannot be recovered.
Legal Obligations: If required by law (for example, in response to a valid request from law enforcement), the Company may retain access logs beyond the standard retention period. In such cases, retention will be extended only for the duration necessary to comply with those obligations.
Future Features: If the Company introduces optional services in the future (such as accounts, newsletters, or cloud storage), any personal data you provide will be retained only as long as needed to deliver those services and comply with legal obligations. If you delete an account, associated data will be retained for 30 days to allow reactivation, then permanently deleted from active systems. Secure backups may retain data for a limited period solely for compliance and recovery purposes, after which it will also be permanently deleted.
Opt-Out: If the Company ever introduces personalized ads, users will have the right to opt out.
Access and Correction: Users have the right to access the personal data held by the Company. At present, this is limited to IP addresses in server logs, which are automatically deleted after 90 days. If you provide additional data in the future (such as an email address for newsletters), you may also request corrections to that information. Project data created in the Site's tools is stored locally in your browser (e.g., IndexedDB) and cannot be accessed by the Company.
Data Portability: Users may request a copy of personal data actually held by the Company (e.g., email addresses if collected in the future) in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Locally stored data in your browser is under your control and can be exported or cleared through your browser's settings.
Deletion: Users may request deletion of any personal data provided to the Company, subject to legal obligations. Server access logs are already deleted automatically after 90 days. Data stored locally in your browser (IndexedDB) remains under your control and can be cleared at any time through browser settings or by removing site data.
Objection: Users may object to the processing of their personal data for direct marketing purposes.
Restriction of Processing: Users may request restriction of processing in certain circumstances.
Cookie Consent: Users can update or withdraw consent at any time through the consent management tool on the Site or by adjusting browser settings.
Questions or exercising rights: If you have questions about your rights or wish to exercise them, please contact the Company.
Current Practice: The Company does not transfer personal data internationally. At present, the only personal data collected consists of IP addresses in access logs, which are stored securely on servers located in the United States and remain under the Company's control.
Future Services: If optional features are introduced in the future (such as newsletters or cloud storage) that require international data transfers, the Company will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR.
Data Transfer Mechanisms: Any future transfers of personal data outside the EU/EEA will be carried out in compliance with applicable law, using mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other legal tools approved by the European Commission.
California Residents' Rights: In addition to the rights described above, California residents have the right to:
To exercise these rights, please contact the Company.
The Company takes data security seriously and implements measures to prevent unauthorized access. Because the Site collects only limited personal data (such as IP addresses in temporary server logs), the risk of exposure is minimal.
In the unlikely event of a data breach that may compromise personal information, the Company will notify affected users within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law. If optional features are introduced in the future (such as accounts or newsletters), those services will include appropriate safeguards and notification procedures.
External links for your convenience: The Site may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services. These links are provided solely for convenience and do not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by the Company.
No control over third-party content: The Company does not control, and is not responsible for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of third-party websites. When you follow a link, any information you provide is governed by the policies of that third-party, not by this Privacy Policy. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies and terms of service of any third-party websites they visit.
Questions about third-party links: If you have any questions about third-party links, please contact the Company.
The Site may include links or features that allow interaction with third-party social media platforms like Bluesky. These platforms may collect information through cookies or tracking technologies when you interact with their content (for example, by clicking a link or using an embedded feature).
The Company does not share your personal data with these platforms. Any information you provide or that is collected when interacting with social media features is governed solely by the privacy policies of the respective platforms. Users are encouraged to review those policies for more information.
The Company does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. At present, the Site only records limited technical information (such as IP addresses in server logs) for security and operational purposes. These logs are automatically deleted after 90 days, are not linked to individual users, and are never used for profiling or marketing.
If optional features are introduced in the future (such as accounts or newsletters), they will be available only to users aged 13 and over. The Company will implement safeguards to comply with applicable child data protection laws (such as COPPA in the United States and GDPR-K in the EU) to prevent collection of personal information from children under 13. If any personal information from a child under 13 is inadvertently collected, it will be promptly and permanently deleted.
If you have any questions about children's privacy, please contact the Company.
The Company may update or modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised Privacy Policy on the Site. A summary of material changes will also be noted in the Change Log included with this policy.
