10. Cookies and Website Technologies
My website may use cookies and similar technologies to allow the website to function properly, remember preferences, provide website functionality, improve performance and understand how visitors interact with the website.
Some cookies may be placed by Wix or third-party services used on the website.
Depending on the cookies and technologies enabled on my website, you may be able to control certain cookies through your browser settings or through any cookie preferences provided on the website.
Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.
11. Social Media
My website may contain links to or embedded content from social media platforms, including my social media accounts.
When you interact with embedded social media content or follow links to external social media platforms, those platforms may collect information about your interaction with their services.

Government authorities or law enforcement where legally required

Other third parties where you have requested or authorised the disclosure
I do not sell your personal information.
I do not provide customer information to third parties for unrelated purposes.
13. International Data Transfers
Because I use online services such as Wix, payment providers, social media platforms and other technology providers, your personal information may be stored or processed outside Australia.
These third parties may operate or use infrastructure in countries outside Australia.
Where applicable, I take reasonable steps to use reputable service providers and to understand how those providers handle personal information.
Because the specific third-party services used by my Wix website may change, the countries in which information may be processed can also vary.
14. Storage and Security
I take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Personal information may be stored electronically through Wix, email services, payment providers, shipping systems and other service providers used to operate Curly Kurtis Art Studio.
No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security of information.

Complete orders and commissions

Provide customer service
-

I recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit.
