Privacy Policy
Sketching the Beast respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we use it, and what choices you have.
1. Information we collect
When you browse, contact us, create an account, purchase, or subscribe to updates, we may collect information you provide such as name, email address, phone number, billing and shipping address, order details, account details, messages, and communication preferences. Our site and service providers may also process technical information such as IP address, browser information, device details, cookies, and site usage data.
2. How we use information
We use information to fulfill and ship orders, process payments and refunds, provide customer support, respond to inquiries, manage commissions, maintain accounts, prevent fraud, comply with legal obligations, and improve our website. We send promotional emails only where permitted by law and consistent with your preferences; marketing emails include an unsubscribe method.
3. Payment information
Payments may be processed by Square or other enabled payment providers. Payment card data is handled by the relevant processor according to its practices. We do not intentionally collect or store complete card numbers directly on our website.
4. Selling and sharing personal information
We do not sell customer contact lists or personal information for money. We may share information with providers needed to operate our business, including payment processors, WooCommerce/WordPress service providers, hosting providers, email platforms, shipping carriers, security and fraud-prevention services, and professional advisers, as appropriate. We may also disclose information when legally required. Some advertising, analytics, or tracking technologies may qualify as a “sale” or “sharing” under certain privacy laws even where no money changes hands. We will assess and disclose such practices and provide required choices if we use them.
5. Cookies and analytics
Our website may use essential cookies for cart, checkout, login, security, and preferences. If optional analytics, advertising, or embedded third-party services are enabled, they may use additional cookies or similar technologies. We will provide notices and consent or opt-out controls where required by applicable law. Browser settings can also restrict cookies, although some site functions may stop working.
6. Retention and security
We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes above, recordkeeping, tax and legal obligations, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution. We use reasonable safeguards to protect information, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
7. Your choices and rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information by emailing admin@sketchingthebeast.com. Certain records may need to be retained for legal, accounting, or security reasons. Depending on where you live, additional privacy rights may apply. We will review and respond to requests as required by applicable law. You may unsubscribe from marketing messages using the link in the email.
8. Children’s privacy
Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
9. Third-party sites
External links and embedded services may have separate privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies.
10. Changes and contact
We may revise this policy and will post the updated version with its effective date. For privacy questions or requests, email admin@sketchingthebeast.com or call (716) 320-0717. Business location: New York, United States.
