Nightowl Studio is the sculpture studio of Leslie Dycke in Mission, British Columbia, Canada. This policy explains how we handle personal information in connection with nightowlsculpture.com and studio inquiries, guided by British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).
Information we collect and why
When you contact us, we receive the name, email address, subject, message, and other details you choose to provide. We use this information to answer questions, discuss artwork and commissions, and arrange purchases, shipping, or studio visits. Form submissions are stored in the website’s form system and sent to the studio by email.
Sending an inquiry allows us to use your details to respond and follow up on that conversation. It does not automatically subscribe you to marketing emails. Please avoid sending payment card details or unnecessary sensitive information through the form.
Website services and cookies
Hosting and website services may process technical information, such as IP addresses and browser details, to deliver the site, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot problems. WordPress uses cookies for functions such as administrator sign-in.
The Contact page includes Google Maps, and the site loads fonts from Google. Loading these services sends connection information to Google; embedded services may also use cookies under Google’s Privacy Policy. You can manage cookies through your browser, although some functions may be affected.
Sharing, storage, and retention
We do not sell personal information. Information may be handled by providers supporting website hosting, form processing, email, and backups, or shared when needed for an arrangement you request, with your consent, or as permitted or required by law. Providers may process or store information outside Canada.
We use reasonable safeguards and retain inquiry and transaction records only as reasonably needed for the purposes described above and applicable business or legal requirements, then delete or securely dispose of them. Older copies may remain in backups until those backups are replaced or deleted.
Your choices and privacy questions
You may request access to or correction of your personal information, ask about its handling, or withdraw consent for future use, subject to legal or contractual limits. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
Leslie Dycke is responsible for privacy inquiries at Nightowl Studio. Please send requests or complaints to nightowlstudio@msn.com or call +1 604-820-1290. We will review your concern and respond. You may also contact the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia if your concern remains unresolved.
We may update this policy as studio or website practices change; the date above identifies the latest revision.
