Last Updated: February 3, 2026

At Vellum & Vine, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our website and purchase our botanical prints.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that allows us to fulfill your orders and provide a seamless shopping experience:

  • Account Information: When you sign in via Google or create an account, we collect your name, email address, and profile picture via Firebase Authentication.
  • Transaction & Shipping Data: When you make a purchase, we collect your shipping address and order details.
  • Payment Information: Payment processing is handled securely by Stripe. We do not store your full credit card numbers on our servers; Stripe provides us with a "token" and limited information (like the last four digits) to confirm the transaction.
  • Technical Data: We automatically collect your IP address and browser type through Firebase Hosting for security, fraud prevention, and site diagnostics.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data strictly for business purposes, including:

  • Fulfilling and shipping your botanical print orders.
  • Sending order confirmations and shipping updates.
  • Authenticating your account and protecting against unauthorized access.
  • Complying with legal obligations (such as tax reporting for sales).

3. Third-Party Service Providers

To run our shop, we share specific data with trusted partners:

  • Stripe: Processes your payments and collects shipping information. (See Stripe's Privacy Policy).
  • Google Firebase: Powers our database, user authentication, and website hosting. (See Google's Privacy Policy).
  • Shipping Carriers: We share your name and address with carriers (e.g., USPS, UPS) to deliver your prints.

4. Data Security

We prioritize the safety of your art and your data.

  • All data is encrypted in transit using SSL/TLS technology.
  • We use Firebase Security Rules to ensure that only you can access your personal order history.
  • We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location (such as California or the EU), you may have the following rights:

  • Access & Portability: You can request a copy of the data we hold about you.
  • Correction & Deletion: You can update your account details or request that we delete your personal information (subject to legal record-keeping requirements).
