Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 9, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Art + Studio Advisory collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit our website, browse the art catalog, purchase artwork, arrange delivery, or contact us about advisory and artist support services. It also explains how Square is involved in online payments.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide through inquiries, purchases, and communications. When you use Square checkout, Square collects information needed for the transaction and makes relevant order and customer information available to us.
- Contact details, such as your name, email address, and telephone number when provided.
- Purchase and delivery information, such as the artwork ordered, order and payment references, transaction amount, payment status, and billing or shipping details provided through Square or directly to us.
- Inquiry details, such as the inquiry type, subject, message, project goals, budget context, timeline, or artwork interests you choose to share.
- Basic technical information that may be collected automatically by website hosting and security tools, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and timestamps.
- Necessary cookies and browser storage used to remember your cookie notice choice, secure forms, and maintain your catalog checkout session.
How We Use Information
We use information to respond to inquiries, provide advisory services, process and confirm artwork orders, maintain availability records, arrange delivery and any separate shipping charge, provide customer support, address cancellation or refund requests, prevent fraud, maintain business records, and meet legal obligations. We also use technical information to operate and secure the website.
Art + Studio Advisory does not place advertising cookies on these pages or use the website for behavioral advertising. Square operates its checkout and related services under its own privacy notices.
How Information Is Shared
We do not sell personal information. We may share relevant information with Square for payments and order management, and with providers who support hosting, email, scheduling, security, and professional services. When delivery is arranged, we may share the contact and delivery details needed by the providers fulfilling your order. We may also share information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or with your direction or consent.
Payments Through Square
Online purchases are completed on a checkout page hosted by Square. You enter payment details directly with Square. Our art catalog does not receive or store your full payment card number or card security code.
We retain order and payment references and status information to manage purchases and artwork availability. Relevant buyer contact and delivery details may also be available to us through our Square account. Square processes payment, transaction, and technical information under its own privacy notices.
For more information, see Square's privacy notice for customers. If you use Square Pay or other Square buyer features, see Square's buyer features privacy notice.
Cookies And Browser Storage
The website uses necessary browser storage to remember your cookie notice choice. The art catalog also uses an essential session cookie to secure forms and support checkout. These essential functions remain active if you decline non-essential cookies. Square checkout is a separate service and may use its own cookies and similar technologies; your choice on our website does not control Square's settings.
If we add analytics, advertising, or other non-essential tools, we will update this policy and provide any required privacy choices before activating those tools.
Your Choices
You can browse without submitting an inquiry or making a purchase. You can clear cookies or local storage in your browser to reset the cookie notice, or manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent forms or checkout from working. You can contact us with questions about an artwork before purchasing.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or limits on certain uses of your personal information. To make a request, contact us using the email below.
Data Retention And Security
We keep inquiry, purchase, delivery, and transaction records for as long as reasonably needed to provide services, fulfill orders, maintain accounting and business records, address refunds or disputes, prevent fraud, or meet legal obligations. Some records may need to be retained after a deletion request for these purposes. Square manages information it holds under its own retention practices. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, but no website or email system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Children
The website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Third-Party Links
The website may link to Square, galleries, artists, cultural organizations, or other service providers. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. These pages also load fonts from Google Fonts, which requires your browser to connect to Google. See Google's Privacy Policy for its practices.
Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page with the updated date.
