How we handle information when you visit abutic.com, create a profile, order an NFC card, or otherwise use the Abutic service.
Last updated September 9, 2026
Website and accounts
Abutic (also referred to as Abutic Cards) is a software product and brand operated as a sole proprietorship owned by Andrew Ceja, based in Southern California.
This policy describes how we handle information on abutic.com and in the Abutic digital profile, vCard, and NFC card service. Other products operated by Abutic may have their own privacy notices.
It covers three groups:
You can read this website without creating an account. Browsing product pages, help articles, or this policy does not enroll you in a paid plan and does not create an Abutic profile.
Like most websites, our hosting environment may automatically collect standard technical data when you load a page. That can include your IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, pages requested, and the date and time of the request. We use this to operate, secure, and debug the site — not to build advertising profiles.
We do not sell website visitor information as a marketing list. We do not collect Social Security numbers on abutic.com. Payment card numbers are collected by our payment processor, not stored by us as card numbers on this site.
If you create an account or place an order, we collect the details you provide. That typically includes your name, email, phone, profile content (such as title, company, links, photos, and contact details), shipping address for physical cards, and billing details needed to complete a purchase.
Information you put on a public profile, vCard, or NFC-linked page is visible to anyone with the link. Do not publish information you do not want others to see.
If you use a paid feature, our payment processor handles card details. We receive confirmation of payment, limited billing metadata, and enough information to fulfill the order and provide support.
If you submit the form at abutic.com/contact.php or email us, we collect the details you provide. That typically includes your name, email, and the message itself. We use that information to respond, understand whether we can help, and keep a record of the conversation.
Submitting a form is a support or sales inquiry, not an automatic software signup. We may email or call you at the contact details you provided about that inquiry. We do not sell form submissions as a marketing list.
We use cookies and similar technologies that are needed to run the site (for example, to keep you signed in and remember cookie choices). We may also use analytics or similar tools to understand how the site is used, subject to your cookie preferences.
Your browser may still store ordinary technical data, and our host may keep server logs, as described above. You can control cookies in your browser, through our cookie banner, or from Cookie Settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of the site work, including sign-in.
More detail is in our Cookie Policy.
How we use and share
We process information to operate Abutic: create and host profiles, fulfill NFC card orders, process payments, provide support, keep accounts secure, prevent fraud, and improve the product.
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we typically rely on: your consent (for example, optional cookies or marketing email); the contract to provide the service you asked for; legal obligations; and legitimate interests such as securing the site and understanding how it is used — in ways that do not override your rights.
We process only what is needed to run the product you are using. We do not use customer or visitor information to build unrelated advertising profiles.
We do not sell personal information. We do not sell your data as a marketing list, and we do not share it with third parties so they can market their own products.
We use processors such as hosting, payment, shipping, email, and (where enabled) analytics providers solely to run Abutic. They are not given customer or website-form data to market their own products.
We may also share information if required by law, to protect the service or other people, or with a shipping or payment partner as needed to complete an order. Profile content you choose to make public is, by design, available to people who open that link.
Abutic may use SMS/text messaging to respond to customer inquiries and missed calls when you have affirmatively opted in. These messages are limited to customer-care communication about your specific inquiry. They are not marketing, advertising, promotional offers, or unrelated messages. Consent to SMS is not a condition of purchasing or using Abutic’s services.
If you voluntarily call Abutic and the call is answered, the call proceeds normally and SMS consent is not requested. If the call is unanswered while you remain connected, you may hear an automated voice disclosure offering a text regarding your inquiry. You must press 1 on the telephone keypad to opt in. Simply calling Abutic does not constitute SMS consent. A text is sent only after you press 1.
If you press 1, you may receive customer-care text messages about that inquiry. Those messages may be sent through service providers that Abutic uses to provide its customer-care messaging service. Message frequency varies based on your inquiry and any replies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out and HELP for help.
We use your mobile number and related messaging information to send and receive those customer-care texts, to honor opt-out requests, and to operate the messaging service. We do not sell mobile numbers or SMS consent, and we do not share them with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
The production consent mechanism is documented on the SMS Terms & Consent page.
As described in How we share information, we may disclose information to processors (including hosting and telephony or messaging providers) solely as needed to operate Abutic and the messaging service. They are not given this information to market their own products. We may also share information if required by law or to protect the service or other people.
Your choices
We keep website form submissions as long as needed to respond to the inquiry and operate the business relationship that follows, then delete or de-identify them when they are no longer needed.
Account, profile, order, and billing records are kept as needed to operate the service, fulfill orders, provide support, meet legal or tax requirements, and maintain an audit of purchases and account activity. We do not keep that information longer than those purposes require. If you delete your account, we remove or de-identify personal data that is no longer needed, except where we must retain a limited record (for example, a paid invoice).
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights to access, correct, or delete personal information. To make a request, use the contact method below and state that it is a privacy request. We may need to verify who is asking before we act.
If you are a California resident, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, and to ask us not to sell it. We do not sell personal information.
To make a request, email [email protected] or use our Do Not Sell page and state that it is a privacy request. We may need to verify who is asking before we act. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another place with similar rules, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
To exercise these rights, email [email protected].
abutic.com and the Abutic service are for businesses and adults. They are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information, including access controls and encrypted connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use a strong unique password for your Abutic account.
We may update this policy as the website or product changes. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of abutic.com or the Abutic service after an update means the revised policy applies.
Privacy questions: email [email protected], or use the contact form at abutic.com/contact.php and state that it is a privacy request. You can also read About Abutic for who we are.
