DARTE DESIGN — PRIVACY POLICY

Effective date: July 23, 2026

Darte Design ("Darte," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This
Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website
(darte.design) — in particular when you secure a spot in one of our programs,
purchase from our store, or contact us — how we use it, who we share it with,
and the choices and rights you have.

By securing a spot, making a purchase, or otherwise submitting your information
to us, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy.


1. WHO WE ARE

Darte Design is a human-centered design and leadership studio. We are the
"controller" of the personal information described in this Policy. If you have
any questions, you can reach us at:

    Jess@darte.design


2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We only collect what we need to serve you. Depending on how you use the site,
that includes:

a) Information you give us when you SECURE A SPOT / ENROLL
   When you submit the enrollment ("Secure my spot") form, we collect:
     - First and last name
     - Email address
     - Phone number
     - Age
     - The program you're interested in
     - Any optional message you choose to include

b) Payment information (store purchases)
   When you buy something from our store, payment is processed by our payment
   provider, Stripe. We do NOT collect or store your full card number or
   security code — Stripe handles that directly. We retain a record of your
   order (such as the item, amount, order status, and the email associated
   with the purchase) to fulfill and support your purchase.

c) Information you give us when you contact us
   If you email us (for example, at Jess@darte.design), we receive your email
   address and whatever you choose to include in your message.

d) Information collected automatically
   Like most websites, our site and hosting provider may automatically receive
   limited technical information — such as your IP address, browser type, and
   the pages you visit — for security, reliability, and basic analytics. We use
   your browser's local storage to remember small preferences, such as whether
   you have dismissed an announcement banner.


3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use the information above to:
     - Confirm and manage your enrollment or waitlist request, and reach out to
       you personally about your spot
     - Process and support purchases from our store
     - Respond to your questions and requests
     - Operate, secure, and improve our website and services
     - Comply with our legal obligations

We do NOT sell your personal information, and we do not send you marketing you
didn't ask for.


4. LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING (for visitors in the EU/UK/EEA)

Where the GDPR or similar laws apply, we rely on these legal bases:
     - Performance of a contract — to enroll you, deliver a program, or
       fulfill a purchase you requested
     - Consent — where you have given it (which you can withdraw at any time)
     - Legitimate interests — to run and secure our site and communicate with
       people who have contacted us
     - Legal obligation — to keep records the law requires us to keep


5. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

We share personal information only with service providers who help us run the
studio, and only as needed to provide our services. These include:
     - Supabase — secure database and hosting for enrollment and order records
     - Stripe — payment processing for store purchases

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or
the safety of others, or in connection with a business transfer (such as a
merger or acquisition). We never sell your personal information.


6. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

We work with individuals and organizations around the world, and our service
providers may store or process information in countries other than your own,
including the United States. Where required, we take steps to ensure your
information receives an adequate level of protection when it is transferred.


7. HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes
described in this Policy — for example, to administer your enrollment, support
a purchase, or meet legal, accounting, or record-keeping requirements — after
which we delete or anonymize it.


8. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your
information, including access controls on our database so that submissions
cannot be read back out by other visitors. No method of transmission or storage
is completely secure, but we work to safeguard the information you entrust to
us.


9. YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
     - Access the personal information we hold about you
     - Correct information that is inaccurate
     - Delete your information
     - Restrict or object to certain processing
     - Receive a copy of your information in a portable format
     - Withdraw consent you previously gave

California residents have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the
right to know, delete, and correct personal information, and the right not to be
discriminated against for exercising those rights. Because we do not sell or
"share" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, there is
nothing to opt out of on that front.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at Jess@darte.design. We will respond
in line with applicable law. You may also have the right to complain to your
local data protection authority.


10. CHILDREN'S AND MINORS' PRIVACY

Our enrollment form is intended for people aged 13 and older, and we do not
knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under
18, please only submit your information with the involvement and consent of a
parent or guardian. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us
information, contact us at Jess@darte.design and we will delete it.


11. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Our site uses only what it needs to function. We use your browser's local
storage for small preferences (such as remembering a dismissed banner). Our
payment provider, Stripe, may set cookies during checkout to process your
payment securely and help prevent fraud. We do not use advertising or
cross-site tracking cookies.


12. THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Our site may link to other websites we don't control. This Policy does not apply
to those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.


13. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the
"Effective date" above. Material changes will not retroactively reduce your
rights without your consent.
