[ANDY REVIEW — not legal advice]
last updated: sept 23, 2026
milton's privacy policy
milton respects ur privacy, mostly because he does not know where it is. here is everything this website collects, in plain words.
ur email (only if u give it 2 us)
if u type ur email into the wallpaper prize popup or the gift shop waitlist, it is stored in the site's database (Upstash Redis, connected through our host, Vercel), along with which list u joined and when.
it stays there until milton's creator moves the list to an email provider, which will then store it and send the emails. ur email is used only for milton emails: the wallpaper prize and news about the gift shop. it is never sold, and it is not shared with anyone except that email provider.
payments (milton never touches ur card)
tips, dance dedications, and shoutouts are paid on Stripe's own checkout page. this site never sees ur card details. Stripe shares the basics with milton's creator so he can fill ur order: ur name, ur email, what u bought, and any name or message u typed for a dance or shoutout. Stripe's handling of ur data is covered by Stripe's privacy policy.
names and messages u send for a dance or shoutout are shown publicly, in milton's videos and on the SHOUTOUTZ wall. that is the whole point.
analytics (counting, not tracking)
we use Vercel Web Analytics to count pageviews: which pages get visited, which site sent u here, and rough info like country, browser, and device type. it does not use third-party cookies, and it does not tell milton who u are. there are no ad trackers on this site. no Meta Pixel. nothing follows u to other websites.
notes saved in ur own browser
a few tiny notes are saved in ur browser, not on our servers, so the site remembers things. none of them are sent to us. u can delete them anytime by clearing this site's data in ur browser.
- mbum_popup_seen (localStorage): so the prize popup only shows up once.
- mbum_sound (localStorage): remembers whether u turned sound on or off.
ip addresses (for about a minute)
when u submit ur email, the site briefly uses ur IP address to stop bots from spamming the form. it is kept for about 1 minute and is never stored with ur email. like any host, Vercel also handles basic request info, including IP addresses, to deliver pages and keep the site running.
getting off the list
want to unsubscribe, or want ur email deleted completely? email hello@miltonbumford.com from the address u signed up with and say so. milton's creator will remove it. once milton starts sending emails, every one will also have an unsubscribe link.
questions
email hello@miltonbumford.com. a real human reads it. milton is not allowed near the inbox.
if this policy changes, the "last updated" date at the top changes too.
