Privacy Policy
Last updated: 29 October 2026
1. About this policy
Art by Lari operates this website and online store, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services, to provide you with a personalised shopping experience (the "Services"). This website is powered by Squarespace, which enables me to provide these Services to you.
This Privacy Policy describes how I collect, use and disclose your personal information when you visit or use my website, make a purchase, subscribe to my mail club or otherwise communicate with me. If there is a conflict between my Terms and Conditions and this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy applies to the collection, processing and disclosure of your personal information.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood how your personal information may be collected, used and disclosed as described in this Privacy Policy.
2. What information I collect
Depending on how you use my website, I may collect the following information:
Personal details: your name, email address, billing address and delivery address.
Order information: the products you purchase, your order history and subscription details.
Payment information: information needed to process your payment. Card details are handled by the payment provider rather than being stored directly by me, subject to the provider's arrangements.
Contact information: information you provide when contacting me with a question or about an order.
Website usage information: information about your browser, device, IP address and how you use my website, through Squarespace analytics and cookies where enabled.
I only collect information that is relevant to running my shop, processing orders and providing my services.
3. How I use your information
I use your personal information to:
Process and manage your orders.
Take payments and manage monthly mail club subscriptions.
Prepare and deliver your orders.
Send order confirmations and updates about your purchases.
Email mail club subscribers when their monthly letters have been sent, including any promised downloadable designs and Etsy discount codes.
Respond to questions and provide customer support.
Manage my website, understand website traffic and improve the shopping experience.
Meet any legal, accounting or tax obligations.
I use your information where necessary to fulfil my contract with you, comply with legal obligations, or pursue legitimate interests such as managing and improving my small business. Where consent is required, such as for certain cookies or marketing emails, I will ask for it.
4. Monthly mail club subscriptions
If you subscribe to the mail club, I use your information to manage your subscription and provide the items included in your chosen tier.
This includes using your name and delivery address to send your monthly mail, and your email address to send relevant subscription updates and the digital extras included with your membership.
Your subscription and payment information is used to manage recurring payments and help you with any subscription-related enquiries.
If you cancel your subscription, I may retain certain information for legal, accounting or record-keeping purposes, but I will no longer use it to fulfil future subscription orders.
5. Who I share your information with
I do not sell your personal information.
I may share relevant information with the following service providers when necessary to operate my shop:
Squarespace: my website hosting and online shop platform.
Payment providers: the provider processing your payments and recurring subscription charges.
Postal and delivery services: the services used to deliver your orders.
Email services: providers used to send order updates, subscription emails or marketing emails, where applicable.
Other service providers: where necessary to maintain my website, manage my business or meet legal obligations.
These providers receive only the information needed for their relevant services, subject to their own privacy and data protection arrangements.
Some providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where applicable, appropriate safeguards are used for international transfers.
6. Cookies and website analytics
My website uses cookies and similar technologies to help it function securely and provide a better shopping experience.
Necessary cookies may be used for features such as website security and shopping functionality.
If enabled and consented to where required, analytics and performance cookies may collect information about website visits, pages viewed, clicks and other activity. This helps me understand how visitors use my website.
Third-party tools or integrations may also use cookies or collect information according to their own policies.
You can manage your cookie preferences through the website's cookie settings, where available. You can also adjust your browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may affect how the website functions.
7. Marketing emails
I may occasionally send promotional emails about new artwork, products, shop updates or other news if you have signed up to receive them or if another lawful basis for sending them applies.
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email or contacting me directly.
Emails relating to an order or subscription, such as order confirmations, dispatch updates and promised membership downloads, are separate from promotional marketing emails.
8. How long I keep your information
I keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes explained in this policy.
For example:
Order and subscription information may be retained for accounting, tax and legal record-keeping.
Contact messages may be kept for as long as necessary to respond and resolve any related issues.
Marketing information is retained while it is needed for the relevant communications, subject to your preferences and applicable requirements.
Website analytics information is retained according to the settings and retention periods of the services used.
When information is no longer needed, I will securely delete it or anonymise it where appropriate, unless I am required to retain it by law.
9. Keeping your information secure
I take reasonable steps to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
