Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to Jason Reynolds Art and the website where it is posted. It does not replace the privacy policies of third-party services that may be linked from, embedded in, or used by this website, including SmugMug, payment processors, shipping providers, social platforms, web hosts, content delivery networks, email providers, analytics services, or browser/plugin providers.

By using this website, submitting information, requesting a quote, purchasing through a linked vendor, licensing an image, or communicating with Jason Reynolds Art, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.

2. Information You Provide

Jason Reynolds Art may collect information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, business name, project details, licensing requests, image selections, message content, billing or invoice details, delivery instructions, reference materials, testimonials, and any files or information you send through forms, email, direct messages, or other communication channels.

Please do not send sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for the specific request and you are comfortable sending it through the chosen communication method.

3. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the website, standard technical information may be collected automatically by the website, hosting provider, security tools, browser, server logs, or third-party services. This may include IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, dates and times of access, general location derived from IP address, error logs, performance data, and similar diagnostic information.

This information is used to operate the website, improve performance, troubleshoot errors, protect the site, understand general traffic patterns, prevent abuse, and maintain security. When you consent to optional analytics, Google Analytics 4 may also process page views, approximate location derived from IP address, browser and device details, referring pages, visit timing, scrolling, outbound link clicks, site-search activity, video interactions, file downloads, and similar usage events.

4. WordPress, Admin, and Comment Data

This website runs on WordPress. If user accounts, comments, password-protected pages, forms, or logged-in admin functions are used, WordPress may process information needed to provide those features. This can include login cookies, session information, display names, email addresses, IP addresses, comment content, browser user agent strings, uploaded files, and related metadata.

If comments are enabled and you leave a comment, information submitted in the comment form and technical information used for spam detection may be collected. If comments are disabled, this section applies only if comments or similar interactive features are later enabled.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website may use cookies, local storage, session storage, pixels, server logs, and similar technologies for functionality, security, preferences, logged-in sessions, spam prevention, performance, embedded content, vendor checkout links, site administration, and consent-based analytics. Google Analytics 4 is loaded only after you choose Accept All through this site’s cookie controls.

Browsers usually allow you to delete, block, or limit cookies. If you disable cookies, some site features, admin functions, checkout flows, forms, embedded media, or third-party services may not work correctly.

A separate Cookie Policy may provide more detailed cookie-specific information when applicable.

6. Contact Forms, Email, and Inquiries

If you contact Jason Reynolds Art, the information you provide may be used to respond to your message, prepare quotes, discuss licensing, provide support, fulfill a request, maintain business records, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, or comply with legal obligations.

Messages may be retained for reasonable business, legal, accounting, client-service, or recordkeeping purposes. Email and form communications are not guaranteed to be perfectly secure, so avoid sending information that should not be transmitted electronically.

7. Purchases, SmugMug, and Vendor Checkout

Prints, products, certain downloads, checkout flows, payments, order fulfillment, taxes, shipping, customer support, and related order services may be handled by SmugMug and/or other approved third-party vendors. When you use those services, the vendor may collect and process information such as your name, email address, billing address, shipping address, payment details, order details, IP address, device information, and support communications under its own privacy policy and terms.

Jason Reynolds Art may receive limited information related to purchases or customer support when necessary to assist with an order, answer questions, maintain records, protect against fraud, or manage the relationship with the vendor.

For SmugMug services, please review SmugMug’s Privacy Policy and order-support policies for details about how SmugMug collects, uses, shares, retains, and protects information.

8. Image Licensing and Client Work

If you request an image license, commission, custom project, or professional service, Jason Reynolds Art may collect and use information needed to evaluate the request, confirm scope, prepare pricing, issue invoices, deliver files, document permissions, manage revisions, enforce rights, and maintain business records.

Information related to licensing, invoices, signed agreements, usage permissions, project approvals, and delivered work may be retained as needed to document rights and obligations.

9. Media, EXIF, and Uploaded Files

If you send or upload images, documents, reference files, or other media, those files may include metadata such as camera information, timestamps, location data, author information, software information, or device details. You should remove metadata before sending files if you do not want it shared.

Files may be stored, copied, backed up, reviewed, edited, delivered, archived, or deleted as reasonably necessary for the relevant project, request, support issue, legal obligation, or business record.

10. Embedded Content and Third-Party Services

This website may include or link to third-party content and services, including Google Analytics, SmugMug galleries or checkout pages, social media platforms, maps, videos, fonts, scripts, content delivery networks, lightbox libraries, spam-prevention tools, or embedded media. Third-party content can behave as if you visited the third party’s website directly.

Those third parties may collect information about you, use cookies, receive your IP address, log browser/device information, monitor your interaction with embedded content, or combine information with data from your account with that third party. Jason Reynolds Art does not control third-party privacy practices.

11. Fonts, Scripts, and Content Delivery Networks

This website may load fonts, scripts, stylesheets, or other assets from third-party providers such as Google Fonts, jsDelivr, or similar content delivery networks. When your browser requests those assets, the provider may receive technical request information such as your IP address, requested file, referring page, browser details, and related HTTP headers.

Google states that the Google Fonts Web API is unauthenticated and does not set or log cookies, but your browser still sends normal request information needed to serve the font files.

12. How Information Is Used

Jason Reynolds Art may use information to:

  • Operate, maintain, protect, and improve the website.
  • Respond to messages, inquiries, licensing requests, and project requests.
  • Prepare quotes, invoices, contracts, licenses, and project documentation.
  • Provide customer service or vendor-order direction.
  • Deliver files, products, services, or information you request.
  • Maintain business, tax, accounting, legal, and rights-management records.
  • Prevent fraud, spam, abuse, unauthorized use, infringement, or security issues.
  • Comply with legal obligations, enforce agreements, and protect rights.

13. How Information Is Shared

Jason Reynolds Art does not sell personal information in the ordinary meaning of selling a customer list for money. Information may be shared when reasonably necessary with service providers, vendors, contractors, web hosts, email providers, analytics providers such as Google, payment processors, SmugMug, shipping providers, accountants, legal advisors, security providers, or other parties that help operate the site, process orders, provide services, respond to requests, protect rights, or comply with law.

Information may also be disclosed if required by law, subpoena, court order, governmental request, legal process, rights enforcement, fraud prevention, security investigation, business transfer, or with your consent or direction.

14. Data Retention

Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including business records, legal compliance, accounting, tax obligations, customer support, project history, rights documentation, dispute resolution, security, backups, and legitimate business needs.

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the relationship, applicable law, and operational needs.

15. Security

Jason Reynolds Art uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information. However, no website, email system, hosting environment, payment system, vendor platform, or internet transmission is completely secure. You use the website and submit information at your own risk.

16. Your Choices and Rights

You may request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of certain personal information, subject to legal, business, security, accounting, rights-management, and technical limitations. Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under applicable law.

You may also unsubscribe from marketing emails if any are sent, adjust browser cookie settings, avoid submitting optional information, contact third-party vendors directly for vendor-controlled data, or use available account/privacy tools provided by those vendors.

17. Children

This website is not intended for children under 13, and Jason Reynolds Art does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact Jason Reynolds Art so the issue can be reviewed.

18. International Visitors

This website is operated from the United States. If you access the site from outside the United States, you understand that information may be processed in the United States or other locations where service providers and vendors operate. Privacy laws in those locations may differ from the laws where you live.
