When you purchase from our store, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, billing and delivery address, email address, phone number, and payment details.

When you browse our site, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address and may collect data about your browser, device, and time spent on the site for analytics purposes.

If you opt-in, we may use your email to send you updates about new artworks, promotions, or collection releases.

Section 2 | Consent

How do you provide consent?
By providing your personal information to complete a purchase, arrange a delivery, or return a product, you consent to our collecting and using your information for those specific purposes.

If we ask for your information for any secondary reason (such as marketing), we will ask you directly for your explicit consent or provide you with an option to opt out.
