Depending on how you use the Site, we may collect:

  • Newsletter information: your email address and subscription preferences.

Payment details: If you purchase through the Site, your payment is processed by a third-party payment processor (for example, Stripe or PayPal). We generally do not receive your full payment card number.

B. Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect:

  • Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, approximate location (derived from IP), pages viewed, time spent, referring/exit pages, and interactions.

  • Cookies and similar technologies: small files placed on your device to enable core Site features, remember preferences, and (if enabled) measure Site performance and analytics.

  1. Cookies, analytics, and similar technologies

A. Cookies we use
Our Site runs on Squarespace, which uses cookies and similar technologies to operate and support website functionality (for example, security, session management, and preferences). We may also use “performance/analytics” cookies to understand how visitors use the Site.

B. Google Analytics (planned / may be enabled)
We may use Google Analytics to understand Site traffic and usage trends. Google Analytics uses cookies to help analyze how visitors use a website. You can learn more about how Google uses cookies and how Google Analytics works in Google’s documentation.

If we enable Google Analytics, we will use it to measure things like:

  • pages visited and time on page,

  • general location (approximate),

  • device/browser information,

  • referral sources (how you found the Site).

Opt-out options: You can opt out of Google Analytics by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by adjusting cookie preferences where available.

C. Cookie choices (consent banner)
If required by law or if we choose to offer it, we may display a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies (like analytics cookies). You can also control cookies through your browser settings, but some Site features may not function properly if cookies are blocked.

  1. How we use your information
    We use information we collect to:

  • Operate the Site and provide features (including accounts and cart/checkout where enabled),

  • Process orders and fulfill purchases (payment processing, shipping, receipts, order updates),

  • Communicate with you (respond to messages, customer service),

  • Send marketing emails if you subscribe (Journey Notes/newsletter) — you can unsubscribe anytime,

  • Improve the Site (debugging, analytics, performance, content optimization),

  • Prevent fraud and enhance security,

  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

  1. How we share your information
    We may share information in these situations:

A. Service providers (processors)
We use trusted vendors to run the Site and provide services, such as:

  • Website hosting/platform services (Squarespace),

  • Payment processors (such as Stripe and/or PayPal, if enabled),

  • Email marketing/newsletter tools (if enabled through Squarespace or another provider),

  • Shipping and fulfillment providers (carriers and logistics partners, if applicable),

  • Analytics providers (such as Google Analytics, if enabled).

These providers are permitted to use your information only to perform services for us.

B. Legal, safety, and business transfers
We may disclose information if required to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights and safety, investigate fraud, or in connection with a business transaction (like a merger or asset sale).

C. We do not sell your personal information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We also do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising in a way that would require a “Do Not Sell or Share” link, unless our practices change (in which case we will update this policy).

  1. Email and marketing preferences
    If you subscribe to Journey Notes/newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any email. You may also contact us to be removed from our list.

  2. Data retention
    We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including:

  • maintaining records of purchases for accounting/tax/legal purposes,

  • resolving disputes,

  • enforcing agreements,

  • improving Site security and preventing fraud.

Retention periods vary depending on the type of data and why we collected it.

  1. Security
    We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

  2. Children’s privacy
    Our Site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

  3. Your privacy rights

A. U.S. state privacy rights (including California)
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

  • request access to the personal information we have about you,

  • request deletion of certain personal information,

  • request correction of inaccurate personal information,

How to submit a request: Email us at caravangallerylaconner@gmail.com with the subject line “Privacy Request.”

B. EEA/UK (GDPR) visitors
If you are located in the EEA/UK, you may have additional rights (access, correction, deletion, objection, restriction, portability). You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

  1. International visitors
    Squarespace and some of our service providers may process and store information in the United States and other countries where they operate. If you access the Site from outside the U.S., you understand your information may be transferred to and processed in countries with different data protection rules.
