Brisk Booth is run by Adam Young in Painesville, Ohio. This page explains, in plain words, what information the Brisk Booth website collects, why, and what we do with it. Questions about anything here: email [email protected].

Market Alerts signup (the alerts page). Your email address, your ZIP code, how far you’re willing to travel (10, 25, 50, or 100 miles), whether you’re a vendor, an organizer, or a patron, and whether you also want Brisk Booth updates. Your ZIP is required because the alerts are matched to it — without it, there’s nothing to match.
Launch Waitlist (signups closed). The signup that used to sit on the home page collected your email address, your role (vendor, organizer, or patron), and your ZIP code if you chose to give it, with a checkbox — ticked by default — that also added you to the weekly roundup. The signup is closed now, but if you joined, we still hold those details so we can send the one launch email.
The weekly roundup link. If you joined the waitlist, your welcome email contains a personal link back to this site. That link carries your email, ZIP, and role so you can join the roundup with one click and nothing to re-type. If you use it, we also save the travel distance you pick on that page.
Add or fix a listing (the Add your market or event page). Your name, your email, your role (organizer, vendor, or patron), and the details of the listing you’re adding or correcting — business or market name, address, dates, hours, vendor registration status and deadlines, and links. We ask for your email so we can write back and confirm.
Tell us what you need (the feedback page). Your role and your note. Your name and email are optional — the email is only there if you want a reply.
A Brisk Booth account (optional). If you create an account, we hold your name, your email address, and your password. The password is never stored as typed: it is stored as a salted cryptographic hash (PBKDF2), which we cannot read back — and if you sign in with an emailed link instead, the link works once and expires after 30 minutes. We also hold the roles (“hats”) you pick — organizer, vendor, and/or shopper — the markets and bakeries you save as favorites, the ZIP code and travel distance you set for your alerts, and your account activity on the site: events you submit, listings you claim, the edits you make to your own listing, and your claim and edit history. If you ask us to email you a sign-in link, or you start a listing claim, we email a confirmation, a sign-in link, or a claim code to the address involved.
Just browsing. The maps and pages work without an account and without signing up. Browsing this site sets no cookies, and the site runs no advertising trackers. If you create an account and sign in, we set the two sign-in cookies described under Cookies below — they exist only to keep you signed in. Our host, Cloudflare, counts visits to the site for us (Cloudflare Web Analytics): page views, which sites sent visitors our way, and visitors’ countries, all in aggregate. It uses no cookies and does not identify or follow individual visitors. When you search our maps by ZIP code, we count that ZIP — anonymously, with no name or device attached — so we can see which areas to research and add markets for next. The Shop Local map counts listings the same anonymous way: how often each listing’s card is seen in search results, opened, and tapped through to its website, directions, or showroom page — totals only, so a listing’s owner can see how their listing is doing. Nothing about the visitor is recorded: no name, no address, no device, and no record of any single visit. The map pages load their map software, fonts, and map tiles directly from the services that provide them (Google Fonts, unpkg, and the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Map), so your browser talks to those services when a page loads, the same as on most websites.
This site uses no advertising or tracking cookies. The only cookies we set are the two that keep you signed in, and they are set only when you sign in to an account:
If you never sign in, neither cookie is set. Clearing cookies in your browser signs you out.
Most of what the maps show — market and bakery names, addresses, dates, hours, registration status — is business information compiled from public sources, and it is published on the map for everyone to see. If business information about you is on the map and you’d like it changed or removed, use the Add your market or event page or email [email protected] and we’ll take care of it.
Some organizer contact details (like an email address an organizer publishes for vendor questions) come from public sources — the market’s own website, listing, or posts — rather than from a form on this site. We use those only to write about that market’s own listing, and any organizer can ask us to stop or to remove their details, and we will.
We don’t run this alone, and we don’t hand your information to anyone else:
Your personal information is never sold, rented, or traded — not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone. It is used for the alerts, the roundup, and the maps, and that’s it.
Your signup details stay on the list while you’re subscribed. Unsubscribe, or email us and ask, and you’re removed — and our record of what we emailed you goes with it. Notes sent through the corrections and feedback forms are kept as part of our working records for the maps. If you have an account, your account information is kept while the account exists; you can delete it yourself in your account Settings, or email [email protected] and ask, and we’ll delete your account and the information that goes with it.
Your information sits with established providers (Brevo and Cloudflare) behind password-protected accounts, and access is limited to the people who run Brisk Booth. Account passwords are stored only as salted cryptographic hashes — never as typed — and signed-in sessions are stored hashed too, so a session code is never kept in readable form. No system is perfect, but we keep the amount we collect small on purpose — for alerts, it’s an email, a ZIP, a distance, and a role.
This site is built for adults who sell at, run, or shop at markets. It isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from them.
If what we collect or how we use it ever changes, this page will be updated and the effective date at the top will change with it. If the change is a big one, we’ll mention it in a roundup email too.
