Privacy Policy
Your privacy is critically important to me, and I follow these core principles:
- I am thoughtful about the personal information I ask you to provide and the personal information that I collect about you through the operation of the shop area.
- I store personal information for only as long as I have a reason to keep it.
- I will help protect you from overreaching government demands for your personal information.
- I aim for full transparency on how I gather and use your personal information.
I only collect information about you if I have a reason to do so — for example, to fulfil a shop order, or to communicate with you.
Information You Provide to me
- Payment and contact information: If you buy something from me, I’ll collect information to process those payments and contact you. I will also keep a record of the purchases you’ve made.
- Communications with me: You may also provide me with information when you contact me in regard to a design or illustration job. I will store a copy of our communications.

Legal Basis for Collecting and Using Information
A note here for those in the European Union about my legal grounds for processing information about you under EU data protection laws, which is that my use of your information is based on the grounds that:
(1) The use is necessary in order to fulfil my commitments to you under the applicable terms of service or other agreements with you or is necessary to administer your account, or
(2) The use is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation; or
(3) The use is necessary in order to protect your vital interests or those of another person; or
(4) You have given us your consent — for example when cookies are loaded on your device.
How Long I Keep Information
I generally discard information about you when it’s no longer needed for the purposes for which it is collected and and we’re not legally required to keep it.
Security
While no online service is 100% secure, I have put in protections to safeguard your information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction.
Choices
You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:
- Limit the information that you provide: If you wish to make a purchase without creating an account with the shop we have set it up so that you can pay directly via PayPal without registering on this site.
- Set your browser to reject cookies: We have a cookie consent form, and you can also bolster this by setting your browser to reject cookies.
