Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 November 2026

This privacy policy explains how personal data is handled when you visit this website or buy a print. It follows the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where it applies, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

What data is collected

  • Visiting the website: technical data such as IP address, browser, device, pages viewed and time of visit. It is used to run the website securely and to see, in aggregated form, how it is used.

  • Buying a print: your name, shipping and billing address, email address, phone number if you give one, and the items you order. This is needed to process, produce and deliver your order.

  • Payment: payments are processed by Stripe. Your card details go directly to Stripe. I never see or store them.

  • Contacting me: if you use the contact form or write an email, I receive your name, email address and message and use them to reply to you.

Who receives your data

Data is only shared with the service providers needed to run this website and shop:

  • Squarespace (Ireland and USA): website hosting, online shop, checkout and visitor statistics.

  • Stripe (Ireland and USA): payment processing.

  • Gelato (Norway) and its print partners: printing and shipping your order. They receive your name, delivery address and, if needed for delivery, your email address or phone number.

  • Delivery companies chosen by Gelato: they receive what is needed to deliver your parcel.

Your data is never sold or used for advertising.

Data processed abroad

Some of these providers process data outside Switzerland, for example in the EU, Norway or the USA. Prints are produced in the country closest to your delivery address. Where a country does not offer an adequate level of data protection, recognised safeguards are used, such as standard contractual clauses or the Data Privacy Framework.

Cookies

This website uses cookies. Some are necessary for the website and the shopping cart to work. Others are used by Squarespace for visitor statistics and are only set if you accept them in the cookie banner. You can delete cookies at any time in your browser settings.

How long data is kept

Order records are kept for 10 years, as required by Swiss accounting law. Messages are deleted once they are no longer needed. Visitor statistics are only kept in aggregated form.

Your rights

You can ask what data I hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, object to its use, and receive a copy of the data you gave me. Some data must be kept for legal reasons. Just email meersoneli@yahoo.com.

If you believe your data is being handled unlawfully, you can complain to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or, if you live in the EU, to the data protection authority in your country.

Legal basis for visitors in the EU

Order data is processed to fulfil your purchase (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), order records are kept because the law requires it (Art. 6(1)(c)), the website is operated and secured on the basis of legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)), and statistics cookies are only used with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)).

Changes

This policy may be updated when the website changes. The current version is always published on this page.
