Welcome to Katherine Roper Ceramics. We deeply value the trust you place in our studio, not just regarding the craftsmanship of our physical ceramics, but also in how we handle your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect your privacy when you browse our collections, contact the studio, or make a purchase.

​

1. Information We Collect

​

To operate our studio and fulfill your orders, we collect two categories of information:

​

• Information You Provide Directly:​

  • When you contact the studio (via contact forms or direct email regarding bespoke commissions): Your name, email address, and any specific notes or messaging you share.
     

• Information Collected Automatically:

  • When you browse krceramics, our site automatically records technical data via cookies and built-in Wix analytics. This includes your anonymized IP address, device type, web browser, operating system, and data on how you interact with our pages (e.g., viewing collections or adding items to a cart).
     

2. How We Use Your Information

​

We use your data strictly for intentional, practical studio and business operations:

​

• Order Fulfillment: To process transactions, securely package your ceramics, generate shipping labels, and deliver physical artwork to your home.

• Customer Communication: To update you on your order tracking, notify you about progress on commissioned work, or answer questions submitted via our contact forms.

• Site Optimization (UX): To analyze aggregated visitor behavior so we can continuously improve our website's performance, layout speed, and user experience.

• Legal Compliance: To adhere to standard financial accounting, tax regulations, and regional e-commerce laws.

​

3. Data Storage and Third-Party Disclosures

​

Our studio website is hosted on the Wix Studio platform.

​

• Your data is stored securely behind industry-standard firewalls on Wix’s data applications and servers.

​

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

​

We use cookies to ensure our website functions correctly and safely. You can easily choose to accept or decline non-essential tracking cookies via the interactive consent banner that appears at the bottom of our homepage.

​

5. Your Rights and Data Control

​

Depending on your geographical location (such as the UK, EU under GDPR, or US under CCPA), you have the right to:

• Request a copy of the personal information the studio holds about you.

• Request that we correct, update, or permanently delete your personal information from our local systems.

• Withdraw your consent to any ongoing communications or data processing at any time.
