Privacy Policy

I'm a very small business (a one woman painting show) so be assured I value your privacy and am not in the business of selling off anyone's details. I just want to use this website to sell you beautiful artworks that you'll enjoy and that does mean collecting personal information to provide services to you, which includes: offering products for sale, processing payments, shipping and fulfillment of your order, and keeping you up to date on new products, services, and offers.

I am also not super savvy with technology so I have no idea how to gather data, but the internet does and I use a website that does so I have included all the official stuff below.
 


This Privacy Policy describes how www.amirapaints.com (the “Site” or “we”) collects, uses, and discloses your Personal Information when you visit or make a purchase from the Site.
