Who we are
PJ's Cactus Lodge is a small cactus shop run by Josh in Lexington, Missouri. For any privacy question, email [email protected]. Privacy requests come by email; the business phone published in the site's listing details is for ordinary shop questions, not for these requests.
What we collect and why
When you tap "Reserve this plant," we store your name, email, an optional note, which plant you want, and the time you asked. That's so we can hold the plant for 24 hours, email you how to pay, and let Josh confirm the sale. If a hold isn't paid in time, it releases itself automatically. We keep the record afterward as part of Josh's order history.
Basic technical logs (like your IP address and browser type) may pass through Cloudflare, the service that runs our site, for security and to stop abuse. Anything we use to rate-limit requests is hashed first. We don't build profiles on visitors.
Payment
We never see or store your card or bank details. Payment happens directly between you and Josh through apps like Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle. Those services have their own privacy policies. This page only covers pjscactuslodge.com.
Hosting and email
The site runs on Cloudflare (Pages, with a Cloudflare D1 database), served from Cloudflare's US-based and global network. Confirmation and reservation emails are sent through Resend from [email protected]; replies go straight to [email protected].
Cookies, browser storage and tracking
Shoppers get no cookies. The only cookie on this site signs Josh into his owner desk, and it isn't set for regular visitors. We don't run analytics, ad pixels or third-party trackers, and no third-party scripts load on these pages.
The shop does keep a few small things in your own browser's storage, on your device. After you reserve a plant it remembers the name and email you typed and whether you ticked the mailing-list box, so the form is already filled in next time. It also holds the order the bench was shuffled into for your visit, and whether you hid the suggestions under a listing. None of that is sent to us or to anyone else, and clearing your browser's site data for pjscactuslodge.com removes all of it.
Email list
There are two ways onto Josh's list. Ask through the footer form and Lodge letters uses double opt-in: we store the email address and consent record after someone asks to join, but it stays out of Josh's marketing export until that person confirms through the email we send. Check the optional box when you reserve a plant and you're added right away instead — that's single opt-in, with the reservation itself as your stored consent record, so there's no separate confirmation email to click first. Either way, every list email carries an unsubscribe link, and using it stops future email right away. Subscribers can also contact Josh to stop future sale emails. Unsubscribed and suppressed addresses are excluded from exports. We never sell or share this list.
Your choices
Email [email protected] to see, correct, or delete the details behind a reservation or Lodge letters signup. We'll get back to you within a few days. Unpaid holds are already released automatically.
Children's privacy
This shop is meant for adults. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13.
