Welcome to TextileArtist, a platform dedicated to inspiring, educating, and promoting textile and fiber art worldwide. Your privacy is paramount to us, and this Privacy policy outlines the types of personal information we collect, how it is used, and the measures we take to protect your personal information.

Information collection and use

Information you provide to us

You may voluntarily provide us with personal information through various means on our website, including filling out forms, participating in surveys, posting comments, or purchasing products and services. The information you provide is used to fulfil your requests, improve our services, and communicate with you about relevant offers and promotions.

Automatic data collection

As you navigate through our website, we may use technologies like Google Analytics and cookies to collect information about your device, browsing actions, and patterns. This information, which does not include personal details, helps us analyse website usage and improve our services.

Cookies and pixels

We use cookies to enhance your experience on our website, gather usage data, and support our marketing efforts. Social media pixels may be employed to tailor advertising on those platforms. You can manage cookie settings in your browser to limit this tracking.

Third party sites

Our website may include links to external websites, which have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review these when visiting such sites, as we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

We respect your privacy regarding email communications. We do not sell or rent our mailing lists, and you may opt-out of receiving emails from us at any time via the unsubscribe link provided in every email. Our communications comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, ensuring transparency and the option to unsubscribe.

Use of your information

The information we collect supports your participation in our activities, provides you with requested services, and informs you of products and opportunities that may interest you. We do not transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent, except as necessary to provide services or comply with legal requirements.

Information security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information, using standard security protocols and working with reputable third-party vendors. However, please be aware that no electronic transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Your rights under GDPR

For residents of the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) grants you several important rights regarding your personal information. These rights ensure you have significant control over your data:
