I do not sell, rent, or disclose your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Your information may be shared only in limited circumstances, and only when necessary for the operation of my services or compliance with legal requirements:

Payment processors (used only when you choose to pay via an online payment link)
Postal or delivery services, for shipping physical artwork to you

These providers only receive the data they need to perform their functions and are obligated to handle your information securely.

Comply with applicable laws, tax obligations, or legal processes
Respond to lawful requests by authorities (if any arise)

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including:
