Collection of personal information
When you visit the site or contact me, certain information is collected about your device. Additionally, as you browse the site, information is collected about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the site, and information about how you interact with the site. This is “device information.”

Device information is collected using the following technologies:

If you are a potential stockist, vendor, or collaborator and choose to contact me, I may collect personal and professional information such as your name, business name, email address, and any other details you voluntarily provide.
