MAIL LIST / PRIVACY POLICY

Stuff you may want to know about the email list

...because the internet has become a complicated place...

EMAIL LIST INFO

By supplying your email address on the Paper Panache home page and clicking Add Me!, you are consenting to receiving occasional site update announcements and marketing email from paperpanache.com. I don’t send a lot of email; usually every 4-6 weeks.

To opt out: You may unsubscribe easily by clicking the unsubscribe link in any announcement email you receive from Paper Panache. Or click the envelope below to send me an unsubscribe email, and I will be happy to carry out your wishes.

Most recent site update announcement will be/was sent 3/18/24.

My email system has recently changed (Feb 2023) and the contact list updated per guidelines. Please note that the platform I am using will CLEAN YOU OFF THE LIST if announcements to you habitually bounce due to full inbox.

If you think you are subscribed and have been wondering where the site update announcements are, please

1. Contact me and I will check to see if your email still exists on my list. If not,

2. Please resubscribe, possibly using a different email address than formerly.

3. Check any spam/bulk mail folders you may have and whitelist (approve) the paperpanache email address in your email app if you find my email in there. If you're using webmail, attempt to whitelist my email address with your email provider.
4. Add a second email address to the list.
5. Clean out your inbox! Boxes that have reached their mail limit cause bounced email.
6. When you’re ready to stop receiving my mail, please click envelope below to send unsubscribe email. Please don’t mark Paper Panache email as spam. Contact me first!

Please note: In the end, I cannot guarantee receipt of announcement emails to anyone. There are many choke points that include your personal habits and usage of email, the limitations and rules of my subscription list provider, and rules and limitations of your email service provider. Please consider popping over once a month to see what is available as a backup strategy.

Please note #2: The email system I use uses coded links in the email you receive to bring you here to the site. When links are clicked in your email client, you may see a Mailjet URL, something on the order of 0iin1.mjt.lu . If you click links from the online version, you will see the Paper Panache URL. Both are safe.

I value your privacy because I value my own.

PAPER PANACHE PRIVACY POLICY

I will NOT share, sell, trade, or give away ANY information about my customers. If another customer ever asks to contact you because they've seen your name or project on the site, I will forward their email to you and you can take it from there.

I collect personally identifiable information, including your name, address, email, certain payment details, and purchase history as part of any purchase you may make at this site, or when you send a message through a contact form, or subscribe to my update announcements/ marketing emails. I may also collect comments, feedback, product reviews, and recommendations that you may offer through email and messages at purchase.

Credit card information is collected by Paypal, my credit card processor, using their secure server. I do not store nor do I personally access credit card numbers.

By signing up for the email list, you are consenting to receive occasional site update announcements and marketing email from paperpanache.com. I can remove your name from the email list at any time, at your request.

Paper Panache has enjoyed posting your projects for many years. Along the way it has been stated, explicitly and implicitly, and has become customary, to share your projects with this website's community and the world. I collect and will post your photos, name, location, and email verbiage (but not your email address) when you send me these things by mail or email. I will occasionally seek particular permission if I feel your contribution involves third parties or is outside the parameters of Paper Panache in some way.

You may deny a possible posting or delete a current posting of your projects/ name/ location/ words at any time, either when you first send me the project email (tell me you are sharing it with me alone) , or any time before or after it has been posted, and I will not post or remove it.

If you send me photos of non-Paper Panache projects, please include the name of the designer, including if it is yourself.

Third party access to data

My direct payment gateway is Paypal, which has its own requirements to ensure the secure handling of credit card information by my store.

My website is hosted by Wix.com, which provides me with the online platform that allows me to sell my products and services to you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall. In the course of a purchase, Wix may receive, collect and store any information you enter on my website, including Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, e-mail address, computer and connection information, and purchase history. Google Analytics or Wix may use software tools to measure and collect session information, including page response times, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information, and methods used to browse away from the page. Paper Panache contains no outside ads, so cookies set from my site are limited to Google Analytics and Wix, which uses cookies primarily for shopping cart security purposes.

I may contact you to notify you regarding a purchase, to resolve a dispute, to collect fees or monies owed, to poll your opinions through surveys or questionnaires, to send updates about my company, or as otherwise necessary to meet any agreement I may have with you. For these purposes I will likely contact you by email, but if absolutely necessary and where I have the information, I may contact you via telephone, text message, or postal mail.

I reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the website.

If you would like to correct, amend or delete any project or personal information I have about you, you are invited to email me.
