Privacy
Basic information may be collected through newsletter signups, inquiries, and customer communication. You can unsubscribe or request removal at any time.

Newsletter opt-ins currently require only your email address and, optionally, your first name. No broader profile is required to register interest in future updates.
For orders, wall mockups, and service communication, only the information needed to fulfill the request or contact you back is used. The goal is minimal data handling, not data collection.
Until the long-term newsletter platform is finalized, unsubscribe or removal requests can be handled directly by emailing the studio.
Essential storage keeps the theme, cart, and your cookie choice working. Analytics are optional and only load after consent.
How information is used
The site is not built around collecting broad user profiles. Information is handled only when it supports a clear need such as answering inquiries, processing a print order, or delivering requested learning material.
For print purchases, the name, email, phone number, and shipping address required to produce and ship the order are collected through checkout.
When you send a message, only the details needed to reply and continue the conversation are stored in the email history of the studio.
Newsletter signups currently store your email address, optional first name, selected interests, and the page where the signup was submitted. This makes it possible to keep future MailerLite or other email automation setup clean without rebuilding the forms.
Cookies
The site uses a small amount of essential storage to keep the experience consistent and functional. Optional analytics are kept separate and only start after an explicit choice.
Theme preference, cart contents, and your cookie choice are stored so the site can remember the version you selected and respect your privacy choice on later visits.
Google Analytics 4 is used only after consent to understand which pages and product paths are working. It is not loaded before that choice is made.
You can reject analytics on the first prompt, accept them later, or reopen the cookie settings at any time from the footer or from the button below.
Retention and control
Information is kept only for as long as it is useful for customer service, order delivery, accounting obligations, or the specific communication you requested.
You can ask what has been stored, request removal from future communication, or unsubscribe from newsletters at any time using the link in the email or by contacting the studio directly.
