Personal Information Protection Policy
At Squeeze Please we do what we can to keep your privacy. This page outlines the “legalese” of our privacy policy, but the summary is:
- We only use the data you give us for delivering your order or understanding how we can make our products better;
- We don’t give or sell your data to anyone, except for the purpose of sending your order (e.g., to our shipping and fulfilment partners) or processing your payment (e.g., our bank and payment processor);

In short, we want to make great products for busy parents, and we’re not in the business of spamming, selling marketing databases, or any other nasty stuff.
