At Kendra Aldrich Arts, I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting the personal information you share with me. This Privacy Policy outlines how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from my website.

1. What Information I Collect

When you visit the site or place an order, I collect certain information from you to ensure your artwork or products can be successfully created and delivered:

  • Contact & Shipping Information: Your name, email address, shipping address, and phone number provided during checkout.

  • Custom Commission Details: The personal notes, pet names, and reference photographs you submit for custom portraits, canvas commissions, or hand-painted silhouette ornaments.

  • Payment Data: Payments are securely processed through third-party payment gateways integrated with my website platform (such as Stripe or Squarespace Payments). I do not store or have direct access to your full credit card numbers or banking details.

2. How I Use Your Information

Your information is used strictly to run my art studio and fulfill your requests, including:

  • Processing and fulfilling your orders (painting custom portraits, laser-cutting/painting ornaments, and shipping physical goods).

  • Communicating with you regarding your order status, sending digital previews/proofs for custom art, and answering your questions.

  • Complying with legal obligations, such as record-keeping for tax and accounting purposes.

3. How Your Reference Photos Are Handled

  • Reference photos uploaded for custom ornaments and portraits are used exclusively by me to create your specific artwork.

  • I do not sell, share, or use your personal reference photos for marketing or third-party purposes without your explicit permission.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

I share your information with trusted third-party service providers only as necessary to run my business:

  • E-Commerce & Website Hosting: Hosted via Squarespace, which manages order processing and site infrastructure.

  • Shipping Carriers: Shipping addresses and contact details are shared with carriers (such as USPS, UPS, or FedEx) solely to deliver your packages.

5. Data Retention

I retain your order details and communication records as long as necessary for tax, legal, and operational requirements. If you have requested a custom piece, reference photos are securely archived or deleted once your commission is fully completed, approved, and delivered.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or request the deletion of the personal data I hold about you. If you wish to exercise these rights, please reach out via the contact page on my website.

7. Changes to This Policy

I may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in my practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
