Privacy Policy

A plain-language look at what information Art to Appreciate collects, how it's used, and the choices you have.

Last updated June 2026

Art to Appreciate is the small studio shop of fine artist Stefanie Snapp in Southern New Jersey. I respect your privacy and collect only what I need to fulfill your orders and stay in touch. This policy explains the details.

Information I collect

I collect information you choose to provide and a small amount of basic technical data:

  • Information you give me — when you place an order, fill out a form, or contact me, that may include your name, email address, shipping address, and the details of your message or commission request.
  • Order details — what you purchased and the information needed to process and ship it. Payments are handled by a secure third-party processor; I do not store your full card number on this site.
  • Basic analytics & cookies — general, non-identifying information such as which pages are visited, to help me understand how the site is used and keep it working well.

Cookies

This site uses a small number of cookies. The most important is an essential session cookie that remembers what's in your shopping cart as you browse — without it, the cart can't work. I may also use simple analytics cookies to understand overall traffic. You can manage or block cookies in your browser settings, though disabling the essential cookie may affect checkout.

How I use your information

Your information is used only to run this little shop and serve you well:

  • To process, package, and ship your orders.
  • To respond to your inquiries and discuss commission requests.
  • To send order updates and customer-service messages.
  • To send my newsletter — but only if you've opted in.
  • To keep the site secure and improve how it works.

I don't sell your information

I never sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Ever. The information you share with me is used to serve you, not to be passed along to advertisers.

Third-party providers

To run the shop, I rely on a few trusted service providers who handle data only as needed to do their job, such as:

  • Payment processors to securely handle transactions.
  • Shipping carriers to deliver your artwork.
  • Email and newsletter services to send order updates and, if you've subscribed, occasional studio news.

Your choices

You're always in control of your information:

  • Unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email.
  • Request access or deletion of the personal information I hold about you — just ask, and I'll take care of it (except where I'm required to keep certain records, such as for order or tax purposes).

Children's privacy

This site is intended for adults. I don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new "last updated" date. Meaningful changes will be reflected on this page.
