Last Updated: [Insert Date]

At Da Vinci Shop (“we”, “us”, or “our”), operating at www.artaccessorysales.com, we respect the privacy concerns of our professional artists, educators, and creative customers. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you purchase our premium art materials including acrylic paints, oil colours, brushes, and specialty mediums.

1. Information We Collect

To provide our artist-grade products and services, we collect:

• Personal Identification: Name, email, phone number, shipping/billing address when you order our acrylic paint sets or professional tools
• Payment Information: Encrypted card details or PayPal credentials processed through PCI-compliant systems for purchases of varnishes, pigments, or bulk orders
• Transaction Data: Purchase history of art supplies, preferred mediums, and brush types
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and device information for security purposes
• Preferences: Your selections for temperature-sensitive materials or regional product availability

2. How We Use Your Information

We process your data with the care of selecting fine pigments to:

• Process and ship your orders of professional art materials worldwide (excluding restricted regions)
• Provide 3D Secure authentication for high-value pigment purchases
• Offer personalized recommendations for complementary products like acrylic mediums or brush sets
• Improve our range of artist-grade supplies through anonymized purchase analysis
• Comply with legal obligations regarding art material safety and export restrictions

• Legal Compliance: When required for regulated art materials or customs
• Service Providers: Strictly vetted partners assisting with our website operations

We never sell your data to third parties for marketing purposes.

• Encrypted storage on isolated servers for payment data
• Tokenization technology replacing sensitive financial information
• Regular security audits meeting PCI-DSS standards
• Limited staff access to personal data, only as needed
• Data retention periods aligned with legal requirements and professional service needs

• Correction: Update inaccurate information affecting your art supply orders
• Deletion: Request removal of non-essential data, where legally permissible
• Objection: Opt-out of certain processing activities
• Portability: Receive your purchase history in machine-readable format

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use these digital tools with the precision of fine brushwork:

• Essential Cookies: For secure checkout and cart functionality when selecting brushes or paints
• Performance Cookies: To improve our website for artists worldwide
• Analytics: Understanding how professionals navigate our pigment collections

You may adjust browser settings to refuse cookies, though this may affect certain features when ordering specialty art materials.

7. International Data Transfers

As we serve artists globally (excluding certain Asian regions), your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own. We implement appropriate safeguards for these transfers, particularly for orders containing regulated art materials.

8. Policy Updates

We may revise this policy as our collection of professional art supplies evolves. Significant changes will be communicated to customers purchasing our premium products.
