privacy policy

The Short Version :

The following section all sounds very formal, but in basic terms, Katie Alize will only use your information to fulfil your orders, when using your information is necessary to complete any requests from you, and to send emails if you have joined and agreed to receiving emails from the Katie Alize mailing list.

The Long Version :

This Privacy Policy describes how and when Katie Alize collects, uses, and shares information when you purchase from www.katiealizeart.com, contact Katie Alize, or otherwise use the services through the website creating company ‘Squarespace’ that powers my website.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Squarespace or any third party services you access through Squarespace.


To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorised to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom painting, for example), if you contact me directly.

I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

1. when needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support.
2. when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time.
3. if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law and as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services.

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

1. Squarespace. I use the website building company Squarespace thus as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations.
2. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
3. Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law. Compliance with laws.
I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to complete your order and provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements.

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:

1. Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
2. Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information.
3. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
4. Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them.

In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.

For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Katherine Alice Simpson, artist and owner of Katie Alize, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
