Privacy
What data is collected?
Your name, email address, and request information are collected when you fill out the commission form. Physical address information for commissions will only be requested via email, and not through the commission form. Your name and email address are collected when you fill out a form to sign up for the newsletter. Your name, email address, and shipping address are collected when you fill out a form to receive a physical item, such as a holiday card. When you make a purchase, Square and Ecwid collect the information necessary to complete the purchase, including but not necessarily limited to credit card information, items purchased, shipping address, and billing address. All information contained within direct email correspondence is retained. Some browsing data may also be collected.
What will this information be used for?
Information collected via the commission form on this website will only be used for the purpose of fulfilling or responding to requests initiated in the commission form. This includes ongoing communication for the purpose of fulfilling a request. Physical address information will only be used to fill an individual's requested shipment.
Information collected via a form to sign up for the newsletter will only be used to send periodic emails to the given email address.
No personally identifying information will be shared with third parties, except where the third party provides the means of fulfilling the request or stated purpose of the form (including but not limited to information storage, sending email, or shipping), or to comply with the law.
If an email address or phone number is collected in conjunction with a purchase, the information may be used to provide customer service support in the event that you request assistance.
Information about items purchased is collected for inventory purposes. Information about items purchased may be associated with the purchaser in order to provide a record of collectors and the ability to verify the authenticity of artwork for the purpose of valuation and/or insurance.
Browsing data is used to track trends and provide helpful information about site usability. This data may inform decisions including, but not limited to, how to organize pages on the website and whether any errors need to be fixed.
Where will this information be stored, and for how long?
Information may be stored using Google services, MailChimp, Ecwid, Square, Squarespace, and/or Shutterfly, and it is subject to those services’ privacy and legal policies. Personally identifying information is stored until such time as you request that your information be removed, or until Erin Blumer chooses to remove the information. To remove personally identifying information, you must provide proof of identity to ensure that the correct information is removed and to protect against fraud. When requested and verified, Erin Blumer will remove all personally identifying information that is accessible to her and under her direct control, within her own systems and within third party systems. However, she is not responsible for removing personally identifying information that is not accessible to her or under her direct control, such as data that may have been stored by a third party and subject to the third party’s policies. For example, on request, Erin Blumer will remove your name and email address from her account in MailChimp, but she cannot guarantee that your personally identifying information has been completely removed from MailChimp’s records or databases, because data entered into MailChimp’s system is subject to their own privacy and legal policies. Upon request, Erin Blumer will provide you with a list of third parties with whom your personally identifying information has been shared, and you may use that list to pursue data removal requests with those parties.
