Effective Date: February 11, 2026
Last Updated: October 2, 2026
Welcome to Wild Messengers, a subsidiary brand of The Menagerie Collective, LLC (hereafter referred to as "Company," "we," "us," or "our").
We believe in sovereignty - of land, body, story, and data.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, purchase our products, apply for retreats, join our email list, or otherwise engage with our offerings.
By using this site, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in three primary ways:
A. Information You Provide Directly
When you:
- Purchase products
- Join our email list
- Apply for a retreat
- Submit a contact form
- Participate in promotions
- Communicate with us
We may collect:
- Name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Billing and shipping address
- Payment details (processed by third-party providers)
- Application responses
- Any other information you voluntarily provide
We collect only what is reasonably necessary to fulfill the transaction or interaction.
When you enter your email on our quiz, meditation, or altar pages, it is sent from our server to Kit, our email provider, so we can send what you asked for and occasional updates. You can unsubscribe from any email at any time.
B. Automatically Collected Data
When you visit our site, we may automatically collect:
- IP address
- Device identifiers
- Browser type
- Operating system
- Pages visited
- Time and date of visits
- Referring URL
This data helps us maintain performance, security, and analytics insight.
C. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use:
- Essential cookies
- Performance cookies
- Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the site
- Microsoft Clarity, which records anonymized sessions (clicks, scrolling, and mouse movement) and produces heatmaps so we can improve the site
- Meta Pixel and Meta Conversions API, to measure and deliver ads on Facebook and Instagram
- TikTok Pixel, to measure and deliver ads on TikTok
These tools may track activity to improve user experience and measure marketing effectiveness. They currently load for all visitors to this site.
D. Advanced Matching
We use advanced matching features offered by TikTok and Meta. When you enter information such as your email address, phone number, name, or address on our site or at checkout, that information may be hashed (converted into a coded form that does not show the original value) and shared with TikTok and Meta. They use it to match your activity to an account on their platforms so we can measure ad results and reach relevant audiences. Meta Conversions API sends similar event data from our store's servers directly to Meta.
E. Your Choices
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Certain features may not function without them. You can also manage ad preferences in your Meta and TikTok account settings, opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or contact us to exercise the rights described below.
2. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions governed by GDPR-style laws, we process your personal data under one or more of the following lawful bases:
- Contractual Necessity - to fulfill purchases, deliver products, or provide services
- Consent - when you opt into email marketing or cookies
- Legitimate Interest - to improve website functionality, prevent fraud, and operate our business
