Data

Art of Ohso tracks, collects, and sometimes stores your data. Here are the details in plain English when it comes to your data. 

What I collect and why?:

• Form data (Google Forms and Embedded Forms)
  • I use forms for giveaways, surveys, questionnaires, and inquiries. It’s how I can learn more about you.
• Shop orders
  • If you purchase an item through my store, I collect your name, address, payment details, and additional notes you may have entered in order to fulfill your order.
• Email addresses for my mailing list.
  • If you are interested in my mailing list, I collect your email so I can add you to the list.
• Website Traffic
  • I use Google Analytics to monitor my website traffic. Users are anonymous. I cannot see who you are, but the analytics allow me to see where you are, what browers/devices you are using, how long you stay on my site, which pages you visit, etc.. All of this allows me to see if people are actually visiting my site and what content is most popular.
• Affiliate Partners
  • I participate in affiliate programs to earn commissions from purchases you make through product links on my website. Products purchased through these programs are tracked to calculate commissions, and some affiliates provide basic user information such as buyer name, email and shipping address but user information isnt shared with me through Amazon. 
• Google Adsense
  • To monetize my website, I display Google Adsense ads. Cookies are used to tailor the ads to the content that may be more useful to you. You can turn off cookies through your own browser if you don’t want ads tailored to your interests.

How I store your data:

• Personal contact information and payment details for orders, invoices, and any financial transactions are stored on the platform used to process your payment (SquareUp or Paypal), and on my secured work devices for tax and record keeping purposes.
• Your anonymous website behavior is stored on Google Analytics.
• Your email address (if you subscribed to my newsletter) is stored on MailChimp.
• If you have filled out a form on my site, the entry details are stored on Google Drive if it’s from a Google Form and on my mail server if it’s from an embedded form on my site.
• Your anonymous affiliate link purchase details are stored on the Affiliate servers and Amazon servers.
• Your ad clicks are handled and stored by Google.

Who I share your data with:

• When you purchase an item through my store or win an item through a giveaway, I share your name and address with shipping providers or partners to complete the order.
  • I do NOT share your personal data (name, address, payment details, email address) outside of this scenario.
• In some situations, I may share cumulative website traffic data from Google Analytics with partners to evaluate marketing strategies.

Affiliate Links, Product Recommendations:

I participate in a couple of Affiliate programs that allow me to make money off of purchases you make through the links on my website or VLOG at no additional cost to you. I can see what has been ordered through my affiliate dashboards to track commissions, but I do not have access to your personal data when purchases are made.

• Amazon- I am an Amazon Associate. If you follow an Amazon product link through my site and make a purchase I will earn a commission on your total purchases.

Google Adsense Ads:

I display Google Adsense ads that are tailored to your interests if you allow cookies through your browser. You can disable cookies through your internet browser if you wish.

Artist and Community Shout Outs/References:

Through my vlogs and mentorship page, I may reference other artists and members of the art community to give praise, start a conversation, publish reviews, etc.. Usually by linking to an outside Facebook or Instagram account.

Please email me at piercearts@hotmail.com if you are referenced on my website, but would like the reference removed.
