Privacy Policy

Effective Date:

March 17, 2025

Operated by:

Crazy Artisan LLC, Erie, PA

At Crazy Artisan LLC, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our fine art photography website, sign up for our newsletter, or place an order. Your trust matters to us, and we do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes—our clients are too important.

Information We Collect

We collect only what’s necessary to serve you:  

1. Newsletter Sign-Up: Your email address when you subscribe to our updates.  
2. Orders: Information required to process your purchase, including full name, shipping and billing addresses, phone number, email address, and payment details (handled securely by our payment processor).  
3. Website Usage: Anonymized data via Google Analytics, such as page views, visit duration, and device type, collected through cookies or similar technologies.

We do not collect unnecessary data or use it beyond these purposes.

How We Use Your Information

Your data helps us:  

1. Send you newsletters with updates, promotions, or new artwork (you can unsubscribe anytime).  
2. Process, fulfill, and ship your orders, including confirming transactions and contacting you if needed.  
3. Improve our website by analyzing usage trends (e.g., popular pages) with Google Analytics.  
4. Comply with legal obligations, such as tax reporting under Pennsylvania law.

We keep it simple—your information stays with us to enhance your experience.

How We Protect Your Information

We take security seriously:  

1. Email addresses are stored securely in our newsletter system with access limited to Crazy Artisan LLC staff.  
2. Order data is processed through trusted third-party payment and shipping providers (e.g., Stripe, USPS) using industry-standard encryption.  
3. We do not store your full payment details—those are handled directly by our payment processor.  
4. Google Analytics data is anonymized and stored per their security standards.

We strive to protect your data but cannot guarantee absolute security against breaches beyond our control.

Cookies & Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. This involves cookies or similar tools that collect anonymized data like your browser type, time spent on pages, and referral sources. This helps us improve your experience but doesn’t identify you personally. You can opt out via your browser settings or Google’s tools (e.g., Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on).

Sharing Your Information

We only share what’s essential:  

1. With service providers (e.g., payment processors, shipping carriers, newsletter platforms, Google Analytics) to complete your order, send updates, or analyze site use. These partners are bound to protect your data and not use it for other purposes.  
2. If required by law, such as a court order or tax audit in Pennsylvania.

Your information is never sold, rented, or given to third parties for marketing—your privacy is our priority.

Your Rights

You control your data:  

1. Newsletter: Unsubscribe anytime via the link in our emails or by emailing cs@crazyartisan.com.  
2. Order Info: Request access to or correction of your data by contacting us.  
3. Analytics: Disable cookies in your browser to limit usage tracking.  
4. California Residents: Under the CCPA, you may request details on data collected or ask for deletion (subject to order retention needs).  
5. EU Residents: Under GDPR, you have rights to access, rectify, erase, or restrict data use—contact us to exercise these. Consent to cookies can be withdrawn via browser settings.

We’ll respond within 30 days to any request.

Data Retention

We keep:  

• Newsletter emails until you unsubscribe.  
• Order details for 7 years to meet tax and legal requirements, then securely delete them.  
• Analytics data per Google’s retention settings (typically 26 months), then it’s anonymized or deleted.

Third-Party Links

Our site may link to external services (e.g., payment gateways, Google Analytics). This policy doesn’t cover their practices—review their terms if applicable.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as needed. Changes will be posted here with a new effective date. Check back periodically.
