Eriks Art Studio LLC ("the Studio," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information through www.eriksartstudio.com, our order process, forms, subscriptions, and related communications. Our Cookie Policy appears at the end of this page.

Information We Collect

Information you provide. When you place an order, request a commission, contact us, or subscribe, we may collect your name, email address, telephone number, billing and shipping addresses, country, the content of your message, and details of the work or commission you are interested in. Payment-card details are collected and processed by our payment providers, not by the Studio.

Order and transaction information. For a purchase or commission we keep records of the work, price, invoice, payment status, shipping, insurance, certificate of authenticity, and correspondence, as needed to complete and document the sale.

Subscription information. When you subscribe to updates we record the information on the form, your consent choice, subscription status, and delivery records. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email or by contacting us.

Technical and usage information. The Site and its service providers may collect IP address, browser and device information, approximate location, pages viewed, referring pages, access times, and cookie identifiers, depending on the Wix configuration, analytics tools, and your consent choices.

 

How We Use Information

We use personal information to process and fulfil orders and commissions; arrange shipping and insurance; issue certificates and invoices; respond to inquiries; administer subscriptions; send updates you have opted in to; operate, secure, and improve the Site; maintain provenance and business records; protect the Studio and its work; and comply with legal obligations, including tax and accounting rules.

We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not use it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Legal Bases for EEA and UK Visitors

Where the General Data Protection Regulation or UK data-protection law applies, we rely on: performance of a contract (processing your order or commission); steps taken at your request before a contract; your consent (subscriptions, non-essential cookies); compliance with legal obligations; and our legitimate interests in responding to inquiries, maintaining provenance records, publishing and protecting our work, and operating a secure website. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal.

How We Disclose Information

We disclose personal information to service providers that help us operate the Site and the Studio: Wix and its infrastructure providers; payment processors; carriers, fine-art shippers, and insurers; email and newsletter services; accounting and professional advisers. Providers may process information only for the services they perform for us. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect legal rights or safety, to investigate misuse, or in connection with a reorganization or transfer of the business.

International Data Transfers

The Studio is based in the United States and ships worldwide. Your information may be processed in the United States and in the countries where our carriers and service providers operate. Where required, we use recognized safeguards for international transfers, such as contractual protections.

 

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here. Order, invoice, and provenance records are retained for as long as required by tax, accounting, and art-market recordkeeping practice, which may extend for the life of the work's provenance. Subscription data is kept until you unsubscribe. Inquiry data is kept while the inquiry is open and for a reasonable period afterwards.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of your personal information; to object to processing; to withdraw consent; and to complain to a data-protection authority. Some rights are subject to legal exceptions, including our obligation to retain transaction records. To exercise a right, email erik@eriksartstudio.com; we may need to verify your identity first.

 

Email Communications

You can unsubscribe from updates at any time via the link in the email or by contacting us. We may still send transactional messages needed for an order, commission, shipment, or legal notice.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the information we handle. No transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Please do not send payment-card, passport, or identity-document information through a website form or by email.

Children

The Site and its forms are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us so we can review and delete it.

External Links

The Site links to third-party platforms such as social networks and art marketplaces, which have their own privacy practices. A link does not make the Studio responsible for their collection or use of information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the Site, our services, or legal requirements change. We will revise the effective date and provide additional notice where required by law.

Cookie Policy

This section explains how the Studio uses cookies and similar technologies on www.eriksartstudio.com.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, and local storage that remember choices, support site functions, measure activity, or connect embedded services.

Categories We Use

 

• Essential — required for the Site to work: security, shopping cart and checkout, consent records, form operation. Always active.

• Functional — remember preferences and enable optional features or embedded content. Set only with consent where required.

• Analytics — help us understand visits, traffic sources, and page performance so we can improve the Site. Set only with consent where required.

• Marketing — measure campaigns or support social-media features if such tools are enabled. Set only with consent where required.

 

Services That May Set Cookies

The Site is built on Wix, which uses essential cookies and, depending on configuration and your choices, analytics or functional technologies. Embedded video, social-media, marketplace, or newsletter content may also set cookies when it loads or when you interact with it. The consent banner and its preference panel identify the services currently detected on the Site.

Your Choices

Where required by law, the Site asks for permission before activating non-essential cookies. You can accept all, reject all, or choose categories in the banner, and later reopen Cookie Settings from the footer to change or withdraw your choices. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser; blocking essential cookies may prevent checkout or forms from working.

How Long Cookies Remain

Some cookies expire when you close the browser; others remain for a defined period so the Site can remember a choice or measure activity over time. The preference panel shows duration and provider information for the cookies currently in use.
