Emma Sage Fine Art ("we," "us," "our," or the "Company") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit www.emmasagefineart.com (the "Site"), make a purchase, commission a custom pet portrait, or subscribe to our newsletter.

This Policy is designed to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and other applicable California and U.S. privacy laws.

2. Personal Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of personal information, depending on how you interact with the Site:

  • Identifiers: Name, email address, shipping/billing address, phone number | Source: Directly from you (checkout, contact forms, newsletter signup)

  • Commercial information: Order history, products purchased, custom commission details (e.g., pet photos and descriptions you submit) | Source: Directly from you

  • Payment information: Limited transaction details (full card numbers are processed and stored by our payment processor, not by us) | Source: Payment processor (Squarespace Payments)

  • Internet/network activity: IP address, browser type, pages viewed, referring URLs, cookies | Source: Automatically, via cookies and similar technologies

  • Geolocation data: General location inferred from IP address or shipping address | Source: Automatically / directly from you

  • Inferences: Preferences inferred from browsing or purchase behavior (e.g., for marketing purposes) | Source: Automatically generated

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers, government ID, precise geolocation, or health information.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information for the following purposes:

  • Order fulfillment: processing payments, shipping and delivering products and custom commissions, and communicating with you about your order status

  • Customer service: responding to inquiries, resolving disputes, and providing support

  • Email marketing: sending newsletters, promotions, and updates about new artwork or products — only if you have opted in

  • Transactional emails: order confirmations, shipping notifications, and receipts (sent regardless of newsletter opt-in, as these are necessary to complete your purchase)

  • Site improvement: analyzing how visitors use the Site to improve content, functionality, and user experience

  • Legal compliance: complying with tax, accounting, and other legal obligations

  • Fraud prevention and security

We do not sell your personal information for money. See Section 6 regarding "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising, if applicable.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Site is hosted on Squarespace and may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as pixel tags or analytics scripts) to:

  • Remember your cart and preferences

  • Understand site traffic and usage patterns (e.g., via Squarespace Analytics or Google Analytics, if enabled)

  • Support advertising or retargeting, if you opt in (e.g., Meta/Facebook Pixel, if used)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect Site functionality, such as your ability to complete a purchase.

"Do Not Track" signals: Our Site does not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals. If we implement a response mechanism in the future, we will update this Policy.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:

  • Service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as:

    • Squarespace (website hosting and e-commerce platform)

    • Payment processors (Squarespace Payments)

    • Shipping carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx) — to deliver your order

    • Email marketing platforms (Squarespace Email Campaigns, Mailchimp) — for newsletter and order communications

    • Analytics providers (Google Analytics)

  • Legal and safety purposes: if required by law, subpoena, or legal process, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our customers

  • Business transfers: if we sell, merge, or transfer all or part of our business, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction

These service providers are only permitted to use your information to perform services on our behalf and are contractually obligated to protect it.

6. "Sale" and "Sharing" of Personal Information Under the CCPA/CPRA

Under California law, "sharing" includes disclosing personal information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising, even without an exchange of money.

  • We do not sell personal information.

  • If our Site uses any advertising cookies or pixels that could be considered "sharing" under the CPRA (for example, retargeting ads), you have the right to opt out. If we enable such tools, we will provide a "Your Privacy Choices" or "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link on the Site and honor opt-out preference signals (such as the Global Privacy Control) where technically feasible.

7. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • Right to Know: You may request the specific pieces and categories of personal information we have collected about you, the sources, the purposes for collecting it, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.

  • Right to Delete: You may request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain legal exceptions (e.g., completing a transaction, fulfilling a warranty, or complying with a legal obligation).

  • Right to Correct: You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.

  • Right to Opt Out: You may opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information (see Section 6). You may also unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link at the bottom of each email.

  • Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes beyond what is necessary to provide our products and services, so no additional action is needed.

  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not deny you goods or services, charge different prices, or provide a different level of service because you exercised your privacy rights.

How to Exercise Your Rights

You may submit a request by:

  • Emailing us at emma@emmasagefineart.com

We will verify your identity before processing a request (typically by confirming information associated with your order or account, such as name and email address). You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, subject to verification.

We will respond to verifiable requests within 45 days, as required by law (with a possible 45-day extension for complex requests, with notice to you).

8. Shine the Light Law

California's "Shine the Light" law (Civil Code § 1798.83) permits customers who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not share personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without your consent. If you have questions, contact us using the information in Section 1.

9. Custom Pet Portrait Commissions

If you submit photos or descriptions of your pet for a custom commission, we use that information solely to create your artwork and communicate with you about the commission. We may request your permission to feature the finished artwork (not your personal photos) on our Site or social media for portfolio purposes — you will always be asked before we do this.

10. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have inadvertently collected such information, we will delete it promptly.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including order fulfillment, tax and accounting requirements, and resolving disputes, after which we securely delete or anonymize it.

12. Data Security

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information, including relying on the security measures provided by Squarespace and our payment processor. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites (such as Etsy or social media platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was last revised. Material changes will be posted on this page.
