What Information We Collect and Why
We collect information to provide you with the best possible service, from fulfilling your art supply orders to personalizing your workshop experience. Our data collection is always done with transparency and purpose:
When you register for a calligraphy workshop or place an order for supplies, we collect necessary personal details such as your name, email address, shipping address, and phone number. This information is essential for confirming your registration, scheduling, delivering products, and providing customer support.
We use standard analytics tools to gather non-personally identifiable information about your visit, such as your IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and the duration of your visit. This helps us understand how our website is used, identify areas for improvement, and enhance your browsing experience.
If you opt-in to our newsletter or promotional emails, we collect your email address to send you updates about new products, upcoming workshops, and special offers. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link provided in every email.
For purchases, payment information (such as credit card details) is collected and processed securely by trusted third-party payment processors. Inkwell Angler does not store sensitive payment card information on our servers; we only receive confirmation of successful payment to fulfill your order.
