Studio Policies
Privacy & Cookies
Plain language about what we collect, why we collect it, and the cookies this site uses.
What we collect
We collect only what we need to make and ship your order: your name, email, shipping and billing details, the artwork you upload, and the specifications of the product you design. Payment details are handled entirely by Shopify's secure checkout — we never see or store your card number.
Your artwork
Uploaded files, proofs and print-ready PDFs are stored in private, access-controlled storage and are only retrievable through time-limited signed links. We use them to produce your order and to keep a record for reprints. We never sell, license or publish your artwork.
Cookies we use
This site uses essential cookies and browser storage, plus Google Ads measurement for visitors outside the EU, UK and Switzerland. We do not sell your information.
Sign-in & account session
EssentialKeeps you signed in so your saved designs and order history stay private to you. Set by our authentication provider.
Cart & checkout
EssentialRemembers the items in your cart and carries them into Shopify's secure checkout. Set by Shopify.
Design studio session
Essential (local storage)Stores your in-progress artwork, layout and preferences in your browser so you don't lose work between steps.
Security & hosting
EssentialStandard cookies used by our hosting platform to protect the site against abuse and to serve pages reliably.
Google Ads measurement
Advertising (outside EU, UK, CH)Google Ads (Google LLC) sets cookies that record which ad click brought you here, the pages you view and a click identifier carried into Shopify checkout, so our ads can be measured and optimised. Purchases are reported to Google by Shopify's Google & YouTube app. Not loaded for visitors in the EU/EEA, UK or Switzerland, when your location can't be determined, or when your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal. Opt out any time at adssettings.google.com, by enabling Global Privacy Control, or by blocking cookies.
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Because most of the cookies above are essential, blocking them will prevent sign-in, saved designs and checkout from working.
Sharing
We share information only with the services required to run the studio: Shopify (orders, payments and checkout), our hosting and database provider (site, accounts and file storage), our email provider (order and proof notifications) and shipping carriers.
Your choices
You can request a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your account and stored artwork. Email archivepaperandpress@gmail.com and we'll take care of it. Newsletter emails always include an unsubscribe link.
