PRIVACY POLICY

 Welcome to Sahaara Art. Your privacy is important to us — and not just because we’re polite. We’re deeply committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about how we collect, use, and safeguard it. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you interact with our website, make a purchase, or subscribe to our services.

 

🧭 1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information to provide a smooth, customized, and secure art-buying experience. Here’s what we may gather:

a. Information You Provide Directly:

  • Name, Email, Phone Number, Shipping & Billing Address

  • Payment Details (processed securely through third-party payment processors)

  • Messages or inquiries you send us (we cherish them!)

  • Custom order preferences or commission details

b. Information We Collect Automatically:

  • IP address, browser type, and device information

  • Pages visited, time spent, and interactions on our site

  • Cookies (the digital kind — not the edible ones, sadly)

 

🎯 2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to:

  • Process and fulfill your orders

  • Ship artworks safely to your door

  • Personalize your experience with us

  • Provide customer support (real humans, real help)

  • Send updates about orders, subscription rotations, or promotions (only the lovely stuff, no spam)

  • Improve our website and marketing strategies

  • Handle legal, tax, and compliance matters like responsible grown-ups

 

💳 3. Payment Processing

We use trusted third-party payment gateways (like Stripe, PayPal, etc.) to handle your transactions. We never store or have access to your full payment information. So yes, your card details are safe — even from us.

​

🛑 4. We Do NOT

  • Sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone. Ever.

  • Spam you with irrelevant offers (our emails are tasteful, like our art).

  • Sneakily track you across the web like a clingy ex.

 

👯‍♀️ 5. Third-Party Services

We may use services such as:

  • Email marketing platforms (for newsletters or product drops)

  • Analytics tools (to understand what pages you love most)

  • Shipping carriers (to get your artwork to you on time)

These services have their own privacy policies, and we partner only with platforms we trust.

 

🧁 6. Cookies Policy (Not the Yummy Kind)

Cookies help us remember who you are, what you liked, and whether you left that one painting in your cart for too long.

  • We may use analytics and advertising cookies (like Google Analytics or Meta Pixel) to better understand visitor behavior and improve marketing.

  • These cookies do not reveal personally identifiable information.

  • You can disable cookies in your browser if you prefer a cookie-free life, but it might limit certain features.

 

📬 7. Your Choices You’re in control.

You’re in control. You can:

  • Opt out of marketing emails anytime by clicking “unsubscribe” (though we’ll miss you).

  • Request to access, update, or delete your personal data.

  • Adjust cookie settings in your browser.

To make changes or ask questions about your data, email us at: sahaaraart@gmail.com

​

🧸 8. Children's Privacy:

Our website isn’t meant for kids under 13, even if they’re mini-Picassos. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 (U.S. standard).

  • If you’re in the EU, the age of digital consent is 16 — so we don’t knowingly collect info from children under 16 either.

 

🔐 9. Data Security

We use industry-standard encryption, secure servers, and good digital hygiene to protect your data. While no system is 100% foolproof (even the Mona Lisa needs a glass case), we’re doing our very best.

​

​📅 🗂️ 10. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to:

  • Provide our services

  • Fulfill legal and tax obligations

  • Resolve disputes and enforce agreements

Once data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

​

🌍 11. Legal Compliance

This Privacy Policy is intended to comply with applicable data protection laws, including:

  • GDPR (for visitors in the European Union)

  • CCPA (for California residents)

  • Other relevant local regulations where applicable

If you’re a California resident, you may request details of personal information we hold about you and ask us to delete it.

​

📅 12. Changes to This Policy

If we ever update this policy (because, say, the internet evolves or lawyers recommend it), we’ll post the new version here. If it’s a big change, we’ll let you know with a heads-up. Please check back occasionally to stay updated.
