Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Updated 3/17/2023

We have a standard privacy policy below that is professionally written to comply with regulations and match the way our online store host maintains information. We use Shopify, which is linked to Facebook, Omnisend, Google, and Paypal, in order to sell our designs. 

As store owner/staff, we don't have access to your financial information - ie we can't access your credit card numbers. Shopify has their own security measures for handling financial inforamtion. But we do have access to your email address and mailing address etc, so we can ship your orders. 

Our website uses "cookies" and a facebook "pixel", just like almost all websites, so we can send you personalized emails, such as reminder emails if you start to checkout and then don't finish etc. And so we can promote our facebook posts to our loyal customers.

If you don't like facebook/google etc using cookies to track your website visits, there are links below to help you opt out of those services. You can also contact us by email if you ever want us to delete all of your info out of our system. 

We don't ever make our customer data available outside of these linked services. We don't sell your info or share your emails etc with other businesses. 

Now the fancy official privacy policy...
