Using Personal Information
We use your personal Information to provide our services to you, which include: offering products for sale, processing payments, shipping and fulfillment of your order, and keeping you up to date on new products, services, and offers.
Lawful basis
Pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), if you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), we process your personal information under the following lawful bases:
- Your consent;
- The performance of the contract between you and the Site;
- Compliance with our legal obligations;
- To protect your vital interests;
- To perform a task carried out in the public interest;

Automatic decision-making
If you are a resident of the EEA, you have the right to object to processing based solely on automated decision-making (which includes profiling), when that decision-making has a legal effect on you or otherwise significantly affects you.
We DO NOT engage in fully automated decision-making that has a legal or otherwise significant effect using customer data.
Our processor Shopify uses limited automated decision-making to prevent fraud that does not have a legal or otherwise significant effect on you.
Services that include elements of automated decision-making include:
- Temporary blacklist of IP addresses associated with repeated failed transactions. This blacklist persists for a small number of hours.
- Temporary blacklist of credit cards associated with blacklisted IP addresses. This blacklist persists for a small number of days.
Selling Personal Information
We DO NOT and WILL NOT sell your personal information, EVER.

Artist Submissions
Submissions of art (“Art”) by any artist, whether it is selected by us or not, is protected intellectual property, and is treated as such from the moment we receive it. See our Legal Notice regarding copyright protection. All Art is the sole property of the artist. We do not publish, sell, share, copy, or post the Art until it is selected by us for conversion to jigsaw puzzles and the Artist Licensing Agreement is signed. Nor do we allow access to the Art by any unauthorized employees, contractors, agents, or other persons affiliated or unaffiliated with us.
All Art is stored on our secured servers. Art that is selected for conversion into jigsaw puzzles will be kept on our servers. Art that is not selected may be held for future consideration, or will be deleted. The artist may request that their Art be deleted immediately, at any time. Art will never be used without the artist’s permission.

Cookies do not damage your system. We use cookies to recognize you when you return to our sites, or to identify which areas of our network of websites you have visited (i.e., eCommerce sites, etc.). We may use this information to better personalize the content you see on our sites.
Many websites place cookies on your hard drive. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your browser. Your browser can refuse all cookies or show you when a cookie is being sent.
