What information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Emerald Thinker Gallery collects information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, shipping and billing address, and details of your orders and inquiries.

We also collect technical information when you visit our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring website, and interactions with website features.

Information may be collected when you place an order, contact us, subscribe to gallery communications, register for an event, or use an account feature.

We use your information to:

  • Process orders, arrange shipping, and provide customer support.
  • Send order confirmations, tracking updates, and responses to inquiries.
  • Send gallery news, exhibition announcements, and new artwork updates when you have opted in.
  • Manage event registrations and requested gallery services.
  • Improve our website, detect fraud, and protect our systems.
  • Meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations.
Payments

Payments are processed through Stripe. Payment information is handled by the payment provider, and we receive information needed to confirm and manage your transaction, such as payment status and transaction details.

Stripe’s handling of personal information is described in its Privacy Policy.

Cookies & Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to support website functions, remember shopping-cart information, and understand how visitors use our website.

Our website includes Google website measurement and tag-management tools. These tools help measure website activity and manage tags used by website services.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect shopping-cart, account, or other website features. Blocking cookies may not prevent every type of data collection.

Third-Party Tracking

Third-party services operating through our website may collect information directly from your browser using cookies, tags, and similar technologies. This information may include online identifiers, IP address, device and browser details, referring pages, and website interactions.

Third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services, depending on the services enabled, their settings, and your privacy choices.

These providers handle information according to their own privacy policies. For information about Google’s practices, see Google’s Privacy Policy.

California Do Not Track Disclosures

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) setting that sends websites a preference regarding online tracking.

We have not verified that all website services respond to browser Do Not Track signals. You should not rely on enabling DNT alone to prevent the collection described in this policy. You can manage cookies through your browser settings and contact us about available privacy choices.

Do Not Track is distinct from Global Privacy Control (GPC), an opt-out preference signal concerning the sale or sharing of personal information under applicable privacy laws. This disclosure does not limit your applicable privacy rights.

For questions about tracking or privacy choices, email jordan@emeraldthinker.com or call 510-395-7650.

Sharing Your Information

We disclose information to service providers that help us operate the gallery and website, including payment processors, shipping carriers, email providers, hosting providers, and analytics services, as needed to perform their services.

We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, investigate fraud, resolve disputes, or protect the safety of others.

We do not sell your personal information.

Email Communications

If you subscribe to gallery communications, we may send exhibition announcements, artwork releases, and other gallery updates.

You can unsubscribe from promotional emails using the unsubscribe link in a message or by contacting jordan@emeraldthinker.com.

We will continue to send essential communications relating to your orders, requested services, or privacy inquiries.

Your California Privacy Rights

Depending on the privacy laws that apply to our business and your information, California residents may have rights to request access to personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, and an opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

To submit a privacy request, email jordan@emeraldthinker.com or call 510-395-7650.

We may need to verify your identity for access, correction, or deletion requests. We may retain certain information where permitted or required by law, including records needed for tax obligations, transaction records, fraud prevention, or legal claims.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.

Data Retention & Security

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, taking into account the nature of the information, our relationship with you, and applicable legal, tax, and accounting requirements.

We use reasonable safeguards to protect personal information. No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed completely secure.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact jordan@emeraldthinker.com so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
