Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 30, 2026
Jacob Cureton Art (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the online store at https://curetonart.com/ (the “Site”), selling original artwork, prints, greeting cards, and hand fans. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Who we are
Our website address is https://curetonart.com/. If you have questions about this policy or your data, contact us at curetonarts@gmail.com.
What we collect and why
When you browse
Our server and security tools automatically record technical data when you visit, including your IP address, browser type and version (user agent), the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. We use this to keep the Site secure, diagnose problems, prevent fraud and abuse, and understand how the store is used. The store may also estimate your general location from your IP address to calculate shipping and any applicable tax.
When you place an order
To process and fulfill an order we collect the information you enter at checkout, including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, and the contents of your order. We use this to take payment, ship your items, send order confirmations and updates, handle returns and support requests, prevent fraud, and meet our legal, tax, and accounting obligations.
Payment information
We accept payments through Square. When you pay, your card details are collected and processed directly by Square over an encrypted connection and are not stored on our servers. Square is a PCI DSS compliant payment processor. Their handling of your information is governed by Square’s privacy notice: https://squareup.com/us/en/legal/general/privacy-no-account.
Reviews and comments
If you leave a product review or comment, we collect the information shown in the form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it; the Gravatar privacy policy is at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After a review or comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside it.
Cookies
Our store uses cookies to work correctly. WooCommerce sets cookies that let it remember the contents of your cart and your session as you move through the store and checkout. These are necessary for the store to function and do not store payment card data.
If you leave a comment you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience, so you do not have to re-enter them next time. These last for one year.
If you have an account and log in, we set temporary and longer-lived cookies to store your login and screen display choices. Login cookies last two days and screen option cookies last a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies. Editing or publishing content sets an additional cookie containing no personal data, just the post ID; it expires after one day.
Embedded content
Pages on this site may include embedded content such as videos or images from other websites. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the other site directly. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, including tracking it if you have an account and are logged in there.
Media
If you are a registered contributor and upload images, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers we need to run the store:
- Square, our payment processor, to take and secure payment.
- USPS, through our shipping plugin, to calculate live shipping rates and deliver your order. Your shipping address is shared with the carrier to fulfill delivery.
- Our web host, Krystal, which stores the Site and its data on secure servers and keeps standard server and security logs.
- An automated spam detection service, which may check visitor comments.
We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, or to protect our rights, property, or the safety of our customers.
If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email.
How long we keep your data
We keep order information for as long as needed to fulfill your order and to meet our legal, tax, and accounting obligations, which is typically several years. Reviews and comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-ups automatically. Account information is kept until you ask us to delete it or close your account, subject to any records we must retain by law.
Where your data is sent
Our store and its data are hosted on servers located in the United States. If you are visiting from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Your rights over your data
If you have an account, or have left comments or placed an order, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, and you can ask us to erase it. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, tax, or security reasons. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights. To make a request, contact us at curetonarts@gmail.com.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
