Privacy Policy - how I handle your personal information

Last updated: 3 September, 2025

This page is here to let you know how your personal information is collected, used, stored, and shared when you interact with my site or buy something from me.

When I say “I”, “me”, or “my”, I’m talking about Lauren Maguire (the artist, human, and business owner behind this website). “You” means you — whether you're browsing, buying, emailing, or just curious.

Why this policy matters

It’s important that you know what happens to your information. I’m committed to keeping your personal details private and safe, and only using them in ways that make sense — to fulfill orders, respond to you, or improve what I offer. That’s it.

What I collect

Info you give me directly:

  • Your name, email, phone number, shipping and billing address

  • Payment details (via trusted processors — I don’t see or store your card info myself)

  • Any messages you send (emails, contact form submissions, order notes)

Info collected automatically:

  • Browsing behaviour (pages visited, time on site, clicks)

  • Device info (browser type, IP address, etc.)

This helps me see how the website’s working and where it can improve.

Info from third parties:

  • Squarespace (my ecommerce platform)

  • Payment processors (like Stripe or PayPal)

  • Analytics tools (for basic insights about how the site is used)

These partners follow their own privacy policies too.

How I use your info

  • To process and ship your orders

  • To reply to your questions or messages

  • To manage your account (if you make one)

  • To send the occasional update or news, if you’ve opted in

  • To improve the website and experience for everyone

  • To prevent fraud or misuse

I’ll never sell your info, and I don’t share it with random third parties. Just the trusted providers I need to run this site.

Cookies

Yep, this site uses cookies. These are small bits of data stored in your browser that help the site remember things like what’s in your cart or how you like to view pages. You can turn them off in your browser settings if you prefer — but some parts of the site might not work properly.

Security + storage

I do everything I reasonably can to keep your info safe. No system is 100% perfect, but I use secure platforms (like Squarespace) and never store sensitive info like payment details myself.

Your data is stored only as long as needed — for example, to process your order or keep legal records. After that, it’s deleted securely.

Your rights

You can:

  • Ask what personal data I have about you

  • Request that I delete or correct it

  • Unsubscribe from emails any time

  • Contact me with questions or complaints

Just email me at info@laurenmaguire.com.au if you want to do any of the above.

Third-party links

Sometimes I link to other sites (like my Instagram or a retail partner). I’m not responsible for their privacy practices, so check their policies if you’re curious.

Children

My site isn’t aimed at kids, and I don’t knowingly collect info from anyone under 16. If you’re a parent and believe your child has shared personal info with me, get in touch and I’ll delete it.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated occasionally. I’ll always show the “last updated” date at the top of the page so you know if anything’s changed.
