Privacy 
Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with my website, purchase artwork, or contact me. I operate as a sole trader in New Zealand, and all personal information is handled in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020.

  • Any messages you send through contact forms

  • Device information, IP address, and basic site analytics

  • Payment information processed securely by third‑party providers (I do not store card details)

How I collect information

I  collect information in three ways:

​

  • Directly from you — when you fill out a form, make a purchase, or contact me

  • Automatically — through cookies or basic website analytics

  • Through trusted third‑party services — such as website hosting or payment processors

Any new purpose will be added here before it is used.
