Welcome! Your privacy is as important to us as Shari’s paintbrushes. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it to keep our artistic empire running smoothly. By interacting with our website ("the Site") and using our services, you agree to this policy.

When we say "we," "us," "our," or "the Company," we are referring to Shari Pedowitz Artistic Empire LLC, a company based in New Jersey, USA, and its members, employees, and volunteers.

When we say "you," we are referring to anyone who interacts with the Site, including those who purchase, exhibit, lease, or license our work.

1. The Sparkle of Data We Collect

A. Information You Voluntarily Give Us:

This is the personal information you knowingly provide when you:

Make a purchase.
Sign up for our mailing list.
Contact us via email or a contact form.
Participate in a survey or provide feedback.

This may include your name, email address, shipping address, and billing information. This data is used strictly to fulfill your requests, process your orders, and send you updates or promotional communications if you opt in.

B. Information Collected Automatically:

Like most websites, the Site uses technology to automatically collect data to help us understand how visitors interact with it:

Device Information: Your IP address, browser type, operating system, and unique device identifiers.
Usage Data: The pages you visit, the links you click, the time you spend on the Site, and the referral source that brought you here.

This information helps us improve the Site, fix technical issues, and ensure seamless performance.

2. Tools of the Trade (Cookies and Tracking)

The Site uses "cookies," which are tiny files stored on your device. These cookies help us:

Remember items in your shopping cart.
Keep you logged into your account.
Analyze site traffic to see which artwork inspires visitors most.

You can configure your browser to refuse cookies, but please note that some features of the Site may not function properly without them.
