Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2025

Your privacy is important to us at Artistic Turtle. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

Information We Collect

  • Orders: We collect your name, billing/shipping address, email, and payment details to process and ship your order.
  • Comments & Reviews: If you leave a comment or product review, we collect the data you provide along with your IP address and browser info to help prevent spam.
  • Contact Forms: Details you submit when contacting us so we can respond to your inquiry.
  • Cookies: Used to remember your cart, login status, and preferences. You can disable cookies in your browser settings.
  • Analytics: We use basic analytics (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand traffic and improve our site. These may set cookies but do not identify you personally.

Payments

We do not store your full payment information. Payments are securely processed by third-party providers such as PayPal, Stripe, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Their privacy policies apply when you use their services.

How We Use Your Data

  • To process and deliver your orders
  • To communicate with you regarding purchases, returns, or customer service
  • To improve our website and product offerings
  • To prevent fraud and spam

Data Retention

We keep order records as required by law. Comments and reviews are retained indefinitely unless you request removal. If you create an account, your information remains stored until you request deletion.

Data Sharing

We only share your data with trusted service providers (payment processors, shipping carriers, analytics tools). We never sell your personal data to third parties.

Orders for Maria’s Jewelry Shop may be fulfilled directly by Maria in Arizona. Your shipping details are shared only for order fulfillment and are not retained beyond that purpose.

Cookie Notice & Preferences

We use necessary cookies for core site functions and optional cookies for analytics and performance. You can manage your preferences at any time:
