1. Information We Collect

At Steven Risher Smith, we collect personal information you provide to us directly when you engage with our small-batch fermented foods or workshops. This typically includes your name, email address, and phone number, which are essential when you place an order for our artisanal kimchi or sourdough starter, sign up for a wild fermentation workshop, or use our direct contact form for inquiries.

We limit our data collection to what is strictly necessary to provide you with the best experience and our high-quality products here in Jacksonville, FL.

Your personal information is used exclusively to facilitate your connection with Steven Risher Smith and our offerings:

We uphold a strict policy: we do not share or sell your personal information with third parties. Any sharing of data is solely as necessary to provide our services, such as utilizing a secure platform for workshop registration.

We are committed to safeguarding your personal data. We implement reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, it's important to acknowledge that no electronic transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
