1. Intellectual Property and Copyright

All content appearing on this website, including but not limited to photography, text, graphics, logos, and digital artistic renderings, is the exclusive property of soul-of-wood.art.
  • Personal Use Only: You are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to view and download images for personal, non-commercial use only (such as desktop wallpapers or personal inspiration).

To ensure the highest level of privacy and a streamlined experience, soul-of-wood.art operates under the following strict guidelines:
  • No User Accounts: We do not provide an option for users to create accounts or profiles.
  • No Comments or Postings: This website does not accept user-generated comments, reviews, or forum posts.
  • No Personal Data Collection: We do not use contact forms or lead-capture tools on this site. We do not solicit or store your private information (such as phone numbers, addresses, or names) through this website interface.

3. Sales and Payment Processing

All transactions for artwork are handled through PayPal.
  • External Processing: When you choose to purchase an item, you will be redirected to PayPal’s secure platform.

4. Communication

Communication between the user and the artist is conducted exclusively via email. By initiating an email to us, you consent to receive a reply regarding your inquiry. We do not use your email address for marketing newsletters or third-party solicitations.

5. Disclaimer of Liability

The artwork displayed is unique and handcrafted. While we strive for accuracy in our photography, the color and texture of wood (such as Amboyna Burl or other natural materials) may vary slightly in person due to lighting and screen settings. All items are sold “as is” unless otherwise specified in direct email correspondence.

6. Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the artist operates, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

For inquiries regarding purchases, shipping, or image licensing, please contact us directly via the email address provided on our “Contact” page.

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: December 2025 At soul-of-wood.art, we respect your privacy as much as we respect the natural beauty of the wood we work with. This policy explains how we handle (and, more importantly, how we do not handle) your information.

1. Zero Data Collection Policy

Our website is designed to be a gallery for our art, not a data collection tool.
  • No Accounts: You are not required to register or create a profile to view our site.
  • No Comments: We do not host comment sections or forums, which prevents the collection of user-generated metadata.
  • No Tracking: We do not use marketing cookies, “pixels,” or third-party tracking scripts to follow your activity across the web.

2. Payment Information

We do not collect or store any financial information.
    • All purchases are processed through PayPal.
    • When you buy a piece of art, you are redirected to PayPal’s secure site.
    • We never see, touch, or store your credit card number, bank account details, or PayPal login credentials.

3. Email Communication

The only “personal data” we ever receive is what you voluntarily provide if you choose to email us.
  • Usage: We only use your email address to respond to your specific inquiry or to coordinate the shipping of a purchased item.
  • No Newsletters: We do not maintain a marketing mailing list. You will not receive unsolicited “blast” emails from us.
  • No Sharing: We will never sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties.

4. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to other websites (like PayPal). Please be aware that once you leave soul-of-wood.art, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those other sites. We encourage you to read their privacy statements.

5. Log Files

Like most standard website servers, our hosting provider may collect basic, anonymous log files (such as your IP address or browser type) to ensure the website stays online and functional. This data is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in our website’s functionality. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Effective Date.”
