I have some cool news to share this Black Friday: We are officially launching the first wave of new designs for our privacy advocacy merchandise shop!
The primary goal of this shop is to increase privacy awareness in local communities, so our margins are fairly thin, but your purchase will help out our project a bit, and more importantly you’ll get great quality items to show off to people.
Want to put Privacy Guides on your Christmas list this year? We also sell gift cards to this shop!
Additionally, unused gift card funds can be converted to a Privacy Guides membership upon manual request, at a rate of $10 in gift card funds per month. You must not be a current member to redeem this offer, we can only add membership time to free subscribers. Send me an email if you’d like to use your gift card for this purpose.
Overwhelmed by choices? Check the team picks page for a selection of some favorites.
Coming soon: We will be able to sell gift cards to this shop in exchange for cryptocurrency like Monero. Stay tuned!
Minor feedback: Would it be possible to make the product description collapsable? It’s currently a bit of work to check out the colours of the Article 12 t-shirt on mobile since I have to bounce up and down to see what it looks like.
I’m assuming you’re—very obtusely—trying to tell me to use UBO to block the text? If so, yes that would sort of solve the problem temporarily. But it’s a very janky and complicated solution and the issue remains for people who don’t use UBO. So I still think being to collapse the text (or something similar) is a better long term solution. But I appreciate the thought

tbf, I have no complains, as this is just the reality of using 3p for merch. Full marks to PG for being honest & keep it real, though (:
Yeah. I linked the privacy policy on the homepage to highlight this. We do disable these features like Google Analytics as they are largely optional on our end, but we’re still communicating with Fourthwall to look into whether our changes make it accurate to change/remove this text. As you noted since we are not running a warehouse some of this is the reality of Print on Demand
If anyone wants to buy (a more limited selection of) merch that is fully FOSS designed and far more private we are still partnered with HELLOTUX:
