Your privacy
Privacy Policy
Beautiful Art (beautifulart.ca) is operated by Kelly Hoeve in Toronto, Ontario. We respect your privacy and collect as little personal information as possible. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your rights under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), which applies to businesses in Ontario.
What we don't collect
This website does not use cookies, analytics, tracking pixels or advertising tools. There are no user accounts and no mailing list. You can browse the entire site without giving us any personal information.
What we collect, and why
When you contact us. If you send a message through the contact form or by email, we receive your name, email address and whatever you choose to write. We use this only to reply to you and, if you wish, to arrange the purchase of a painting.
When you buy a painting. To complete a sale and ship your painting, we need your name, email address and shipping address. Payment is handled entirely by PayPal. We never see or store your banking or card details.
We do not sell, rent or trade your information, and we never use it for marketing without your permission.
Services we rely on
A few trusted companies help us run the website and deliver your painting. Each handles information under its own privacy policy:
Netlify hosts this website and delivers contact form messages to us. Like any web host, it may keep basic technical records, such as IP addresses, for security. Google Fonts supplies the lettering on this site. Your browser requests the fonts from Google, which receives your IP address but does not set cookies. PayPal processes payments. Canada Post or FedEx receive your name and address to deliver your painting.
Some of these companies may store information outside Canada, including in the United States, where it may be subject to local laws.
How long we keep it
We keep your information only as long as needed to answer your inquiry, complete your purchase, and meet tax and record-keeping requirements. After that, it is securely deleted.
Your rights
You may ask to see the personal information we hold about you, correct it, or have it deleted, and you may withdraw your consent at any time. Email kelly@beautifulart.ca and we'll respond within 30 days.
If you have a concern we haven't resolved, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle personal information, we'll update this page and the date above.
