Privacy Policy
We handle your data like we handle everything: thoroughly and without mercy.
The authoritative privacy policy for all Specific Industries properties is maintained at specificindustries.com. View Terms of Use
Last updated: When you weren't looking. Grit level: Coarse.
1. Data Collection
By visiting this website, you agree that we collect your browsing data, purchase history, grit preferences, and the approximate duration of your bathroom visits (for research purposes). We also collect the audio levels detected from your device during product use, though we promise we only use this data to improve our products and occasionally to settle internal bets.
2. How We Use Your Data
We use your data to recommend appropriate grit levels, suggest Recovery Balm quantities based on your purchase patterns, and to generate the anonymized statistics on our Aftermath page. If you're one of the 73% who made a repeat purchase, your data contributed to that figure. You know who you are.
3. Data Sharing
We share your data with our abrasive material suppliers (for quality matching), our insurance underwriter (who has questions), and our legal team (who has concerns). We do not sell your data to third parties. Mainly because no third party has asked. The product descriptions tend to discourage inquiries.
4. Cookies
This website uses cookies that track your browsing behavior with the same persistence our products track your skin cells. They cannot be removed easily. Unlike our products, cookies are painless. Consider them the gentle part of the True Grit experience.
5. Your Rights
You have the right to request your data. You have the right to request its deletion. You have the right to an attorney, though that seems excessive for a toilet paper website. Exercise any of these rights by mailing a written request to our facility. The workers will read it during their break. They could use a laugh.
6. Security
Your data is stored on servers protected by the same industrial-grade materials we use in our products. This is not a metaphor. The server room is literally reinforced with sandpaper. It seemed thematic. Our IT department disagrees but has learned to pick their battles.
7. Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to change this policy with the same lack of warning our products provide during first use. If you don't like it, you are welcome to stop buying sandpaper toilet paper. But the data stays. Like the memory of your first 40-grit session, it stays.
