Privacy Policy

Effective Date: December 31, 2025

Overview

This website, The Creative World of Koty, is an informational site for my creative works. I respect your privacy and aim to collect as little data as possible.

Information I Collect

• Voluntary Data: If you use my contact forms (Forminator), I collect your name and email to reply to you. I do not ask for sensitive info (SSNs, health data, etc.).
• Automated Data: I use Google Analytics to see how people find my site. This uses cookies to track non-identifying info like your city, browser, and pages visited.
• SEO Data: I use Yoast SEO to optimize my site; it does not collect personal data from you.

Payments & Third-Parties (The Etsy Link)

I do not collect or store payment information on this site.

• Transactions: All purchases happen on Etsy. When you click a “Buy” link, you are taken to Etsy’s secure platform.
• Taxes: Etsy acts as the “Marketplace Facilitator,” meaning they handle the collection and remittance of all sales taxes on my behalf. Please review Etsy’s Privacy Policy for how they handle your billing info.

Your Rights (US & State Law)

Even though I am a small business, I provide all US visitors the right to:

1. Access: Ask what info I have about you.
2. Delete: Ask me to delete your contact form submissions.
3. Opt-Out: You can disable cookies in your browser to stop Google Analytics from tracking your visit.

Security

My site is protected by an SSL Certificate via Hostinger, ensuring your connection is encrypted.
