At Canvas + Code Collective, we deeply respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, share, and protect the personal information you provide when you visit our website, purchase our products or services, or engage with us on social media. It also details your rights regarding the information we collect.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

To provide our services, we may collect various types of data from you. By accepting this Privacy Policy, you consent to our collection, use, processing, and sharing of this data with third-party service providers as necessary for our legitimate business purposes.

PERSONAL DATA
Personal data includes information that identifies you, such as your name, shipping address, email, and phone number. You voluntarily provide this data when you interact with us—for example, by filling out a contact form, making a purchase, or subscribing to our newsletter.
