Privacy Policy

We respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit our website, purchase artwork, contact us, or subscribe to our email list.

 

Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, phone number, billing address, shipping address, and any information you include in messages sent to us. If you join our mailing list, we collect your email address and any related subscription preferences. We may also collect limited technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, and website usage information through cookies or similar technologies if used on the site. Under Canadian privacy guidance, organizations should identify what they collect and why, and obtain meaningful consent where required.

 

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to process and fulfill orders, communicate with you about purchases or inquiries, deliver artwork, maintain business records, improve website functionality, and send marketing emails where you have chosen to receive them. We do not use your information for purposes unrelated to these activities without appropriate notice or consent. This aligns with PIPEDA’s principles of identifying purposes, consent, and limiting use.

 

We do not store your credit card or other full payment card information on our website systems. Payments are processed through third-party payment providers, and your payment information is handled directly by those providers under their own privacy and security practices.

 

Email Marketing

If you choose to subscribe to our mailing list, we may send you updates about new artwork, exhibitions, promotions, or related news. You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us directly. Meaningful consent is a core requirement for this kind of collection and use.

 

Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We do not sell or distribute our email list to other companies. We may share personal information only where reasonably necessary to operate the business, such as with payment processors, shipping providers, website hosting providers, or email service providers, and only for the purpose of providing services to us. PIPEDA requires limiting disclosure to appropriate purposes.

 

Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies or similar tools to support website functionality, understand site traffic, and improve user experience. Where applicable, you can control cookies through your browser settings. If you use analytics, advertising pixels, or behavioural advertising tools, those should be specifically disclosed because Canadian guidance treats online tracking and consent seriously.

 

Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including fulfilling orders, maintaining appropriate business and tax records, responding to inquiries, and administering our email list.

 

Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may use third-party services or contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their policies before providing personal information.

 

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
