Questions? Contact us at afischerharold@gmail.com.

1. What Information Do We Collect?

We collect the following personal information:

Inquiry and Contact Forms: When you submit an inquiry (for artwork, commissions, prints, or licensing), we collect your name, email address, the nature of your inquiry, and any message or artwork details you provide.

Mailing List Subscription: If you subscribe to our mailing list, we collect your email address only.

Analytics: We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect aggregated, anonymized data about how visitors use this Site. GA4 collects information such as pages visited, session duration, and general geographic region. IP anonymization is enabled — your full IP address is not stored by Google Analytics. GA4 uses cookies to function.

Server Logs: Our web server automatically records standard access logs, including IP address, browser type, referring page, and date/time of access. These logs are used for security monitoring and troubleshooting.

Rate Limiting: IP addresses are temporarily recorded to prevent automated abuse of our contact and subscription forms. These records are automatically purged periodically.

We do not collect: passwords, payment card information, government-issued identification, precise geolocation, or sensitive personal data.

All personal information you provide must be accurate and up to date.

2. How Do We Use Your Information?

We use collected information to:

  • Respond to artwork inquiries, commission requests, and licensing discussions
  • Process print order inquiries and communicate order details
  • Send mailing list updates to subscribers (only if you have subscribed)
  • Improve and maintain the Site
  • Monitor for and prevent security threats and abuse

3. Legal Bases for Processing

If you are located in Canada, we process your information under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), generally with your consent (express or implied) or as necessary to fulfill a request you have made.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we rely on the following legal bases under GDPR/UK GDPR:

  • Consent: for analytics cookies and mailing list subscription
  • Legitimate interests: for security monitoring and rate limiting
  • Legal obligations: where required by law

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting afischerharold@gmail.com.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use Google Analytics 4, which places cookies on your device to track anonymous usage patterns. You can disable cookies via your browser settings. Doing so may affect some Site functionality. We do not use any other tracking technologies or advertising cookies.

5. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

  • Inquiry and contact form data is retained as long as necessary to respond to and record business correspondence.
  • Mailing list email addresses are retained until you unsubscribe.
  • Rate-limiting IP records are automatically purged within a few days.
  • Analytics data is retained according to Google’s data retention settings (configurable, default 26 months).
  • Server logs are retained for a reasonable security monitoring period.

When information is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymized.

6. Do We Share Your Information?

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information in the following circumstances:

Google Analytics: Anonymized, aggregated usage data is shared with Google as part of the GA4 service. See Google’s Privacy Policy.

Print Fulfillment Partners: If a print order involves a third-party print provider, we may share the minimum necessary order information (such as artwork file and delivery details) with that provider.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority.

7. Do We Collect Information from Minors?

We do not knowingly collect personal information from persons under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years old.

8. What Are Your Privacy Rights?

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

  • Access and obtain a copy of your personal information
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your personal information
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Data portability (where applicable under GDPR)

To exercise any of these rights, email afischerharold@gmail.com. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.

If you are in the EEA or UK and believe we are processing your information unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

9. Do-Not-Track

We do not currently respond to Do-Not-Track (DNT) browser signals, as no uniform standard exists for implementing them.
