Terms, Privacy & Refunds

Who we are

Dearly Peculiar is a small, independent shop run by Melody in England. It makes more than 60 customisable widgets for Notion pages: clocks, calendars, focus timers, habit and mood trackers, savings jars, gamified goals, fandom and moving-home widgets, and styled sets that share one look. Say hello at [email protected], or tell us what to make next on the feedback page.

Terms

What we provide

Dearly Peculiar provides small hosted widgets that can be customised on our website and embedded in Notion or another compatible service. After buying, you can log in using your purchase email, customise the products included in your purchase, and copy your personal embed link.

Our widgets require an internet connection and depend on our hosted service and third-party platforms such as Notion. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Notion. Changes made by a third-party platform, browser or device may affect how a widget appears or works.

Your personal licence

A purchase gives you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence for your own personal, non-commercial use.

• You may use the widget in as many of your own personal Notion pages as you like.
• You may not use it for a business, employer, client, customer, classroom, organisation or other group.
• You may not include it in a template, product, service or page that you sell, license, distribute or provide to someone else.
• You may not resell, copy, redistribute or make our widget code, paid embed links, account access or licence credentials available to others.
• You may not remove branding or access controls except where the purchased product expressly allows it.

A freelancer may not use a personal licence for a client. A teacher may not use it for a class workspace. A company may not use it internally. A widget may not be included in a free or paid template distributed to other people.

Your account and access

You must use an email address that you control. Login links, licence details and personal embed links must be kept private. Tell us promptly if you believe someone else has accessed your account or links.

We may temporarily restrict access where we reasonably believe an account or paid link has been shared, compromised or used outside this licence. We will normally contact you before taking permanent action.

Ownership

Dearly Peculiar retains ownership of the widgets, code, designs, illustrations, themes, branding, website content and documentation. Buying a product gives you permission to use it under these terms; it does not transfer ownership to you.

You retain any rights you have in text, dates, labels or other information you enter into a widget. You give us permission to process that information only as needed to display and operate the widget.

Prices and payment

Prices, taxes, billing frequency and everything included in a purchase are shown before payment. Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card details.

One-time purchases do not renew automatically. Subscriptions renew at the displayed billing interval until cancelled. You can cancel a subscription through the available Stripe or account-management flow and retain access until the end of the paid period.

One-time purchases and availability

A one-time purchase is not a promise that the hosted service will operate forever. We may improve, replace or retire features and widgets. If we plan to discontinue a paid product or the service, we will give reasonable notice where practicable and consider a reasonable remedy for recent purchases.

Quality and support

We aim to provide widgets that match their descriptions and work with reasonable care. Software can sometimes contain errors or be affected by third-party changes, so we cannot promise uninterrupted or error-free operation.

Nothing in these terms limits your statutory consumer rights.

Responsible use

Do not use a widget for illegal activity or as the only record for critical, financial, medical, safety or emergency information. You remain responsible for keeping copies of information that matters to you.

Liability

We are responsible for losses that are a foreseeable result of our breach of these terms or failure to use reasonable care. We are not responsible for losses caused solely by Notion, Stripe, internet providers, browsers, devices or other services outside our reasonable control.

We do not exclude liability where the law does not allow us to do so.

Changes to these terms

We may update this page when the service or law changes. Material changes affecting an active paid subscription will be communicated reasonably. Changes will not remove rights you have already acquired without a valid reason.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you live elsewhere in the UK, you keep any mandatory consumer protections available where you live.

Refunds and cancellations

Immediate digital access

Our products include immediate access to hosted digital widgets and customisation features. Before immediate access begins, checkout may ask you to expressly request immediate supply and acknowledge that you will lose the usual 14-day right to cancel once supply begins.

This acknowledgement must be collected during checkout. This page alone does not remove your cancellation rights.

When we will help

Please contact us if:

• you were charged but did not receive working access;
• you were charged twice or accidentally bought the same product twice;
• the product is faulty or materially different from its description; or
• your account shows the wrong purchase.

We will first try to repair the problem or restore access within a reasonable time. Where that is not possible or appropriate, we may provide a replacement, price reduction or refund in accordance with your statutory rights.

Change-of-mind refunds

Once immediate access has begun following your express consent and acknowledgement, we do not normally provide a refund simply because you changed your mind. This does not affect your rights where a product is faulty, misdescribed or not supplied.

Subscriptions

Cancelling a subscription stops future renewals. Access continues until the end of the period already paid for. Cancellation does not automatically refund the current billing period, although statutory cancellation or fault-related rights may apply separately.

Requesting a refund

Email [email protected] with your purchase email, the product concerned and a short description of the problem. Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method. Your bank or payment provider controls how quickly the refund appears.

Privacy

Who controls your information

Dearly Peculiar is the controller of the personal information described here. You can contact us at [email protected].

What we intentionally keep

• Email address: to create or find your account, send login links, deliver access and provide support.
• Purchase entitlement: which product your email can access, together with limited Stripe transaction or subscription references needed to confirm payment, manage access, handle refunds and keep required financial records.
• Saved customisation: only where you choose to save a widget look or setting to your account.
• Messages to us: when you contact us for support.

We do not intentionally collect your full card details. Stripe handles payment information.

Technical information

Cloudflare, Stripe, Resend, PostHog and ordinary web-server systems may process limited technical information such as IP address, browser details, security logs, session information and necessary cookies. We do not use advertising trackers or build an advertising profile about you.

For paid-link use evidence, our first-party systems may keep approximate daily load counts, the widget used, a broad source category, the exact referring hostname when supplied, and the related licence. We keep this evidence for 90 days to investigate licence sharing and protect paid access. We do not use it to read the content or page path of your Notion pages.

These counts support sharing or abuse review. They are not billing records, and we do not automatically suspend access from a traffic count alone.

Cookieless website analytics

On public marketing, guide, collection, set, customisation and account entry pages, we use PostHog for traffic and product-use measurement. PostHog runs in cookieless mode and processes this analytics data in its European Union data region. Session replay, heatmaps, surveys and advertising profiling are disabled.

We retain anonymous event details needed to compare site performance: the page path, referrer, approved campaign fields, event name, guide or widget slug and event time. We do not send licence keys, email addresses, private embed links, saved widget settings, widget text, custom colours or payment details to PostHog. Browser analytics does not run inside raw widgets, private tokenised embeds, account history pages, admin pages or checkout.

When you visit a guide or blog article, or arrive from a recognised AI assistant, the browser creates a random one-journey identifier to measure visits to widgets, sets and collections, embed copies and account registration. It records the first article when applicable and whether you arrived from a recognised search engine or AI assistant, for up to 30 minutes. AI referrals record only an approved provider label (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini or Copilot), not the referring conversation URL or prompt. The browser keeps this only in memory: no analytics cookies, localStorage or sessionStorage. A dedicated URL fragment carries it between supported pages and is removed before page capture. If you register, only the approved article (when applicable), source, AI provider label (when applicable), journey identifier and start time accompany the existing short-lived email or Google authentication record. Registration events never send your email, authentication token or Google identity to PostHog, and the identifier is not a person ID. We do not send it to Google. PostHog retains the identifier with those events, but it is never a person ID. It is excluded from the current URL and referrer sent to PostHog. Audit reports use aggregate counts and never return the identifier. Refreshing a page or taking an unsupported route may end attribution.

Separately, successful widget loads send one aggregate, personless event to PostHog so we can compare widget popularity. That event contains only these aggregate categories: the widget slug, whether the embed is free or paid, a broad source category, whether it loaded in an iframe or top-level page, and whether installation measurement was tagged or legacy. It excludes the private link or token, licence key, email address, full URL or page path, referrer or hostname, IP address or geolocation, user agent, saved settings, widget content and payment information. Person profiles and IP-based geolocation are disabled for these events.

When you copy a private embed link, the browser may add a random opaque copied-link identifier. On a successful widget load, our Worker validates it and it is hashed immediately. The raw identifier never enters first-party KV or PostHog. PostHog receives only whether installation measurement was tagged or legacy. First-party KV stores only a key made from the widget slug and digest, with widgetSlug and lastSeen metadata, for a maximum of 31 days.

The admin dashboard uses those records for a rolling 30-day active-installation estimate. Repeat loads from the same copied link count once. Legacy links without the identifier are excluded, and there is no backfill for activity before measurement began on 16 September 2026. The estimate is not a count of people, browsers, devices or Notion pages.

This measurement and its admin output exclude the raw identifier, private link or token, licence or account details, email address, Notion page, IP address, user agent, referrer, hostname, saved settings and widget content. The admin output contains aggregate counts only.

Basket

If you add widgets to the basket, the browser keeps a list of widget names in its localStorage under the key dp_cart. It holds no prices and nothing about you. It is sent to us only when you press Checkout, and it is cleared after a completed purchase or whenever you empty it. The basket is the only list the browser keeps.

Favouriting a widget needs an account, and the favourite is stored with that account rather than in the browser: we keep a list of widget names against your email address, under the key favs:{email} in our store. It holds no prices and nothing else about you, and it is never part of a purchase — favourites are never sent to Stripe and a completed purchase leaves them as they were. You can remove a favourite from your basket page at any time, and because it lives with your account it follows you to any browser or device you sign in on.

Why we use it

• To provide your account, purchases and widgets, because this is necessary to perform our contract with you.
• To keep financial and transaction records, because we may have a legal obligation to do so.
• To secure accounts, prevent abuse and maintain the service, because we have a legitimate interest in protecting the service and its users.
• To answer support requests, to perform our contract or pursue our legitimate interests in customer support.

Who processes it

• Stripe processes payments and subscriptions.
• Resend sends login, purchase and support-related emails.
• Cloudflare hosts and secures the site and may store account entitlements and saved widget settings.
• PostHog processes anonymous cookieless website analytics and aggregate personless widget-load events in the EU data region.

These providers process only the information needed for their role and may process data outside the UK using recognised contractual or legal safeguards.

How long we keep it

We keep account and entitlement information while needed to provide access. We keep required transaction and tax records for the period required by law, which may commonly be up to six years. Short-lived login and security records are kept only as long as reasonably necessary. Paid-link use evidence is kept for 90 days. Hashed active-installation records are kept for no more than 31 days. Saved customisations are removed when no longer needed or when the related account is deleted, unless we must retain limited information for legal reasons.

Some public guides and blog articles run a 50/50 copy experiment. Each page visit receives an original or rewritten version, without cookies or browser storage. A random identifier held only in page memory joins that view to a product-link click or a reading-engagement event (30 focused, visible seconds and 75% scroll depth). It is not carried to other pages or used as a person identifier. PostHog receives the article path, version, experiment name, page-view identifier and these events; reports show aggregate counts. Reloading may select a different version. This experiment does not attribute purchases.

Cookies and local storage

We use local storage and other necessary technologies to run the service, remember widget settings, keep accounts secure and process payments. PostHog analytics runs without cookies. We do not use behavioural advertising cookies. If we introduce non-essential cookies, we will explain them and request consent where required.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may ask us for a copy of your information, correct it, delete it, restrict its use, object to its use or receive certain information in a portable format. Some information cannot be deleted immediately where we must keep it for tax, fraud-prevention or legal purposes.

You may complain to us first. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

Marketing

We do not use purchase or login emails for unrelated marketing unless you separately choose to receive it. We do not sell or rent personal information and do not show behavioural advertising.

Children

The paid service is intended for people who can lawfully enter into a purchase contract. Anyone under 18 should have permission from a parent or guardian before buying.
