Privacy policy

Last updated: January 26, 2026

The Homenko Studio Preview operates this website solely as a catalog and personalization preview tool.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: No financial transactions, payments, or purchases are processed on this domain. All final purchases are processed securely through our official Etsy shop.

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit or use the Services.

Personal Information We Collect or Process

Since this is a preview-only website, we collect minimal data compared to a standard store.

1. Information you provide voluntarily:

Preview Data: When you use our personalization tools (e.g., entering a name for a hanger or choosing colors), this data is processed temporarily to generate the preview image.

Contact Information: If you choose to contact us via our contact form, we collect your name and email to reply to your inquiry.

2. Information collected automatically (Cookies):

Device Information: We collect information about your device, browser, IP address, and time zone to ensure the website loads correctly and to protect against malicious activity.

Usage Information: We track how you interact with the Services (e.g., which products you view) to improve our catalog.

We DO NOT collect:

Credit card numbers or payment details.

Billing or Shipping addresses (as no shipping occurs from this domain).

How We Use Your Personal Information

We use your personal information for the following purposes:

To Provide Services: To allow you to visualize personalized products and generate design previews.

To Improve Our Site: To analyze how users interact with our design tools.

Security: To detect and prevent fraud or abuse of our website.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

Personalization Inputs: Data entered into the preview tool (such as names or dates) is generally retained only temporarily to facilitate the user session and generate the visual preview. It is not permanently stored in a customer profile on this website.

Communication: If you contact us via email, we retain your message and contact details as long as necessary to resolve your inquiry.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live (e.g., European Economic Area, California, Canada), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you.

Since we do not store customer accounts or financial data on this preview site, we hold very limited information. However, if you wish to exercise your rights regarding any data we might have (such as email correspondence), please contact us using the details below.

Children's Privacy

The Services are not intended to be used by children, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

Parental Use: This website is intended for use by adults (parents or guardians) wishing to customize products for children.

Personalization Data: If you input a child's name or information into our personalization tools, you represent that you are the parent or legal guardian with authority to provide such information. This data is used solely to generate the visual preview of the product and is not used for marketing or profiling purposes.

How We Disclose Personal Information

We may share your information with third parties that help us operate this website:

Shopify: Our website hosting provider.

App Providers: Services like Zepto (Product Personalizer) that power the design tools.

Etsy: If you follow a link to purchase a product, you will be redirected to Etsy, which has its own Privacy Policy.

International Data Transfers

Please note that your information (such as IP address or device data) may be transferred to and processed by Shopify's servers outside of your country of residence. We rely on Shopify's rigorous data protection standards to ensure your data remains secure.

Third Party Websites (Etsy)

This website contains links to our Etsy Shop for checkout. Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of Etsy or other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.

Security

We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure your personal information is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

Governing Law

This Privacy Policy and your use of the website shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Revised" date.
