Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

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 and shipping address, email address, and order details so we can process, fulfill, and support your purchase.
  • Comments & Reviews: If you leave a comment or product review, we collect the information you submit, along with your IP address and browser details, to help detect spam and abuse.
  • Contact Forms: Information you send when contacting us so we can respond to your question or request.
  • Cookies: Used to remember your cart, login status, and site preferences. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
  • Analytics: We may use website analytics tools to understand traffic and improve site performance. These tools may use cookies or similar technologies.

Payments

We do not store your full payment card information on our website. Payments are processed through secure third-party payment processors and supported digital wallet providers. Their own 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, products, and customer experience
  • To help detect fraud, abuse, and spam

Data Retention

We keep order records as required for business, tax, legal, and customer service purposes. Comments and reviews may be retained unless removal is requested and approved. If you create an account, your information remains stored until you request deletion, subject to any legal or operational retention requirements.

Data Sharing

We share personal information only with trusted service providers that help us operate the store, such as payment processors, shipping providers, and analytics or security services. We do not sell your personal information for money.

Orders for Maria’s Jewelry Shop may be fulfilled directly by Maria in Arizona. In those cases, your shipping details are shared only as needed for order fulfillment and customer service.

Cookie Notice & Preferences

We use necessary cookies for core site functions and may use optional cookies for analytics, performance, or related features. Where available, you can manage your preferences at any time:

We do not sell personal information for monetary compensation. If you are a California resident and wish to exercise your rights to opt out of “selling” or “sharing” as defined by applicable California law, please use one of the following methods:

Your Privacy Rights

United States (including California): Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and to limit or opt out of certain uses.

EEA/UK: Where applicable, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, object to certain processing, and request data portability. Our legal bases may include performance of a contract, legitimate interests, legal compliance, and consent where required.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us so we can review and delete it if appropriate.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
