Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 26, 2026

C&V Designs respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit designsbycv.com, place an order, join our mailing list, contact us, or otherwise interact with our website.

  • Order details and purchase history

  • Information submitted through our contact form

  • Your email address and subscription preferences when you join our mailing list

  • Information you provide when requesting customer support, discussing a custom project, or otherwise communicating with us

Payment Information

Payments are processed through Squarespace and the payment provider available at checkout. C&V Designs does not ordinarily receive or store your complete credit or debit card number. Payment providers process that information according to their own privacy policies and security practices.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, Squarespace and connected services may automatically collect information such as:

  • Your IP address

  • Browser and device information

  • Pages viewed and actions taken on the site

  • Referring pages or websites

  • Approximate location derived from your IP address

  • Cookie identifiers and related analytics information

How We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

  • Process, fulfill, and deliver orders

  • Provide order confirmations and shipping updates

  • Respond to questions, support requests, and project inquiries

  • Manage returns, exchanges, refunds, or product concerns

  • Maintain our customer and business records

  • Send marketing emails when you have chosen to subscribe

  • Understand how visitors use our website

  • Improve our products, website, communications, and customer experience

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the store, remember visitor preferences, understand site traffic, and support connected analytics or advertising services.

Some cookies are necessary for the website and checkout to function. Other cookies, including analytics or advertising cookies, may be optional. Where available, you can manage non-essential cookies through the cookie controls displayed on our website or through your browser settings.

Our website does not independently respond to every browser “Do Not Track” signal because there is no single universally accepted standard. Third-party services connected to the site may respond to these signals according to their own policies and applicable law.

How We Disclose Information

We may disclose personal information only as reasonably necessary to operate our business, including to:

  • Squarespace, which hosts our website and online store

  • Payment processors and fraud-prevention providers

  • Shipping carriers and fulfillment-related providers

  • Email and mailing-list providers

  • Analytics, advertising, and measurement providers when those services are enabled

  • Accountants, professional advisers, and service providers supporting our business

  • Government authorities or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect our rights, customers, or business

These providers may use information only according to their agreements, privacy policies, and applicable law.

We do not sell personal information for money. Some analytics or advertising activities may be considered “sharing,” targeted advertising, or a sale under certain state privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including fulfilling orders, maintaining business and tax records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting legal obligations.

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected.

Your Choices and Privacy Rights

You may:

  • Unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link included in each message

  • Adjust available cookie preferences through our website’s cookie controls

  • Change cookie settings through your browser

  • Ask to access, correct, or delete personal information that we maintain about you

  • Ask questions about how your information has been used or disclosed

Privacy rights vary depending on where you live and may be subject to legal exceptions. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

If applicable law gives you the right to appeal a decision concerning a privacy request, you may do so by replying to our response and explaining that you wish to appeal.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review and, when appropriate, delete it.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information. However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

International Visitors

C&V Designs is based in the United States. If you visit the website from another country, your information may be processed in the United States and in other countries where our service providers operate. Those countries may have different data-protection laws than your country of residence.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may link to services or websites that we do not control. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we encourage you to review those policies before providing personal information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, services, or legal obligations change. The updated effective date will appear at the top of this page. Material changes may also be communicated through the website when appropriate.
