Privacy Policy – 444 Design Corp.

At 444 Design Corp., precision extends to your privacy. We craft eternal artworks with silent integrity; so too do we handle your data—with minimal intrusion, maximal protection. This Policy discloses how we collect, use, share, and safeguard personal information when you visit 444designcorp.com (hosted on Big Cartel), place orders, or interact with our services. It applies to all users worldwide and complies with GDPR (EU/UK), CCPA/CPRA (California), and equivalent laws.

Effective: January 1, 2026. Last Updated: December 12, 2025.

Data We Collect
We gather only what is essential:
• Provided by you: Name, email, billing/shipping address, payment details (e.g., card via secure processors), and order preferences for processing limited-edition prints.
• Automatically: IP address, browser type, device info, pages viewed, and interaction data via cookies and similar technologies.
• From third parties: Aggregated insights from Big Cartel (our platform provider) and public sources for fraud prevention.

We do not collect sensitive data (e.g., health, biometrics) unless required for customs/shipping compliance.

How We Use Your Data
Your information fuels our craft:
• Fulfill orders—producing and shipping via CreativeHub/theprintspace hubs (UK/EU/US/AU).
• Process payments and manage accounts.
• Enhance our site and offerings through analytics.
• Send order confirmations, updates, or (with consent) curated news on new editions.
• Detect fraud and ensure security.

Legal bases: Contract performance (orders), legitimate interests (site improvement, marketing), consent (promotions), or legal obligations.

Sharing Your Data
We share sparingly, only with trusted partners who uphold our standards:
• Fulfillment: CreativeHub/theprintspace for production/shipping (they process contact/financial/transaction data per their policies: CreativeHub Privacy, theprintspace Privacy).
• Platform: Big Cartel for hosting/orders (see their Privacy Policy).
• Analytics/Security: Google for Analytics (usage trends) and reCAPTCHA (bot protection)—limited to anonymized data.
• Carriers/Payments: DHL/FedEx/UPS/Stripe for delivery/processing.
• Legal: Authorities if required; or in business transfers (e.g., mergers).

No sales of data. Aggregated/anonymized insights may inform trends.

Cookies & Tracking
Our site uses cookies for seamless function: essential (cart persistence), analytics (performance), and marketing (preferences). Managed via Big Cartel and Google.

• Google Analytics: Collects anonymized usage data (e.g., sessions, IP-masked location) to refine your experience. We do not share personal identifiers. Opt out via browser settings or Google's tool. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• reCAPTCHA: Verifies human interactions, sharing cookies/IP with Google for security. Opt out via browser cookie controls. Details in Google's Privacy Policy.

Manage via your browser; disabling may limit features. Full list in our Cookie Notice (forthcoming).

Data Security & Retention
We employ industry-grade encryption (SSL), access controls, and audits. Partners adhere to equivalent standards. Data retained only as needed: 7 years for orders (tax/compliance), shorter for analytics. Secure deletion upon request.

International Transfers
Data flows globally via hubs (EU/UK/US/AU). Transfers outside EEA (e.g., to US) use Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions for protection.

Your Rights
Empowerment is eternal:
• Access, correct, or delete your data.
• Object to/withdraw processing (e.g., marketing).
• Portability or restriction.
• CCPA: Opt out of "sales/sharing" (none occur); request disclosure/deletion (verified via email).

Exercise via contact form at 444designcorp.com/contact (include order ID). Response: 30 days (GDPR) or 45 days (CCPA). Appeals available. EU/UK: Complain to ICO; CA: CCPA enforcement.

Children's Privacy
Our site is not for under-16s. No knowing collection from children.
