Privacy Policy
Hi! This page gives you details on how I (Gary Cadima) collect, use, and protect your data when you visit my site (www.gkc.art), make a purchase from me, or contact me about your order. Your privacy is very important to me. I strive to be 100% transparent about how I handle your personal data. I do not collect your personal information other than what is necessary to fulfill orders. Orders are processed by Big Cartel, payments are processed through PayPal or Stripe, and shipping is processed through PirateShip, all companies are GDRP-compliant and have security measures in place to keep your data safe. Since payments are processed via PayPal or Stripe, I do not have access to your financial information. The only information I have access to is your name, email address and mailing address, which is used to process your order, and not stored anywhere else other than Big Cartel, Paypal, Stripe, and PirateShip. I do not, nor will I ever share or sell your personal information.
BIG CARTEL
My online shop is hosted on Big Cartel, LLC. They provide me with the online e-commerce platform that allows me to sell my products and services to you. Your data is stored through Big Cartel's data storage, databases and the general Big Cartel application. Big Cartel may also share your information with third parties for payment processing and other services. For more information on how your information is stored, shared and protected by Big Cartel, refer to Big Cartel's Privacy Policy.
PAYPAL
Should you choose so when checking out, payments are collected by PayPal. When you provide PayPal with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using a variety of tools (encryption technologies, passwords, physical and electronic security, procedural safeguards) to assist in the protection of your information. For more information on how your data and credit card information is protected by PayPal's platform, refer to PayPal's Privacy Policy.
STRIPE
Should you choose so when checking out, payments are collected by Stripe. When you provide Stripe with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using a variety of tools (encryption technologies, passwords, physical and electronic security, procedural safeguards) to assist in the protection of your information. For more information on how your data and credit card information is protected by Stripe's platform, refer to Stripe's Privacy Policy.
PIRATESHIP
When shipping your order, I use PirateShip to purchase postage. When Pirateship is provided with your name, mailing address, and email address, the information is encrypted using a variety of tools (encryption technologies, passwords, physical and electronic security, procedural safeguards) to assist in the protection of your information.

INFORMATION I COLLECT
To fulfill your order, you provide me certain information, such as your name, email address, mailing address, payment information, and the details of the product that you're ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (e.g. for a custom order), if you contact me directly.
COOKIES
Non-personally identifiable information gathered by Big Cartel e-commerce platform, including your IP address, computer sign-on data, statistics on page views, traffic to and from the site and individual pages on the site and data may be collected through cookies or other means. You can take steps to disable cookies on your browser; however, this may affect your ability to use the site. For more information on the use of cookies by Big Cartel's platform, refer to Big Cartel's Privacy Policy.
WHY I NEED YOUR INFORMATION AND HOW IT'S USED
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
DATA RETENTION
When you place an order through my site, I will keep your Order Information for my records unless and until you ask me to delete this information. I will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes I collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When deciding what the correct time is to keep the data for I look at its amount, nature and sensitivity, potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the processing purposes, if these can be achieved by other means and legal requirements. For tax purposes the law requires me to keep basic information about my customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they stop being customers.
DO NOT TRACK
Please note that because there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to “Do Not Track” signals, I do not alter my data collection and usage practices when I detect such a signal from your browser.

If you are a European resident, you have the right to access personal information I hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact me through the contact information below.
Additionally, if you are a European resident I note that I am processing your information in order to fulfill contracts I might have with you (for example if you make an order through my site), or otherwise to pursue my legitimate business interests listed above. Additionally, please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including to Canada and the United States.
CHANGES
This privacy policy may change or be updated from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to my practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.
