  • Personal Identifiable Information: When you make a purchase or contact the studio, we collect your name, shipping address, billing address, email address, and phone number.
  • Payment Data: All credit card and payment processing details are handled securely by our third-party encrypted payment gateways. We do not store or have access to your raw financial information.

  • Order Tracking & Communication: To provide you with your tracking number, real-time shipment updates, and answer any customer service inquiries.
  • Marketing (Optional): With your explicit consent, we may occasionally email you about new art series arrivals, studio updates, or upcoming exhibitions. You can opt out at any time.
3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with third parties. We only share your information with trusted service providers necessary to complete your order:

  • Data Retention: We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill your orders, comply with legal/tax obligations, or resolve any potential disputes.
  • Transit Protection: Because we ship high-value fine art globally, information shared with border authorities and international carriers is limited strictly to what is required for customs clearance and transport insurance.
