Privacy Policy for DigitalPeinture

DigitalPeinture ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website digitalpeinture.com (the "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Site, make a purchase, or download our digital products, such as printable painting art PDFs.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Site or purchasing our products, you agree to the terms described here. If you do not agree, please do not access or use the Site.

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review it periodically.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, as well as information collected automatically.

Personal Information You Provide

• Account and Purchase Information: When you create an account, place an order, or download products, we may collect your name, email address, billing address, payment details (processed securely by third-party providers), and any other details you provide.
• Communication Data: If you contact us (e.g., via email or contact forms), we collect the information in your message.
• Newsletter/Sign-Up Data: If you subscribe to our newsletter or marketing emails, we collect your email address.

Since we sell digital downloadable products (PDFs of painting art), we do not collect or require shipping addresses unless you provide them voluntarily.

Automatically Collected Information

• Usage Data: We may collect information about your device, IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on the Site, and referring pages.
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, pixels, and similar tools to improve your experience, analyze Site usage, and deliver personalized content. See our Cookies section below for details.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (e.g., health data or ethnic origin).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

• To process and fulfill orders, including providing download links for digital PDFs.
• To manage your account and communicate with you (e.g., order confirmations, updates).
• To send marketing communications (only with your consent, where required; you can opt out at any time).
• To improve the Site, products, and services (e.g., analytics).
• To comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, and enforce our terms.
• For internal business purposes, such as data analysis and audits.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR Compliance)

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or other regions with similar laws, our processing of your personal data is based on:

• Contractual Necessity: To fulfill orders and provide digital downloads.
• Consent: For marketing emails or non-essential cookies.
• Legitimate Interests: For Site security, analytics, and improvements (where it does not override your rights).
• Legal Obligations: To comply with applicable laws.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share it with:

• Service Providers: Third-party vendors for payment processing (e.g., Stripe, PayPal), email services, hosting, and analytics. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or to protect our rights/safety.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, sale, or acquisition.

For digital downloads, no physical shipping is involved, so we do not share address data with couriers.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies to:

• Remember your preferences.
• Analyze Site traffic (e.g., via Google Analytics).
• Deliver targeted ads (if applicable).

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Essential cookies cannot be disabled, but you can opt out of non-essential ones.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures (e.g., encryption for payments) to protect your information. However, no online transmission is 100% secure. You use the Site at your own risk.

7. Data Retention

We retain your information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined (e.g., order history for tax/legal reasons) or as required by law. Account data is kept while your account is active; you can request deletion.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
• Object to or restrict processing.
• Withdraw consent (e.g., for marketing).
• Data portability.
• Opt out of automated decisions.

EU/UK residents: Additional GDPR rights include lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise rights, contact us at hello@digitalpeinture.com.

9. International Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your residence (e.g., servers in the US). We use appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) for such transfers.

10. Children's Privacy

Our Site and products are not intended for children under 13 (or 16 in some regions). We do not knowingly collect data from children.
