Privacy Policy
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you submit a contact form or sign up for updates. This may include your name, email address, and any message content you provide. We do not collect payment information directly — all merchandise purchases are handled by third-party platforms.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries, send you updates about The Shuggle (if you've opted in), and improve our website and services. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.
3. Cookies
Our website may use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings. Some features of the site may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
4. Third-Party Links
Our website contains links to third-party merchandise platforms and the Keith Haring Foundation website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
5. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Contact
