Your contact information 

I don’t keep your contact information unless we are selling to you and I may need to discuss any shipping details or returns. This goes though the PayPal site, and they have great security for credit card users. See link above for details. After that, when the sale is completed, I will only keep you on a list if you want me to. I don’t send out very much, I am too busy creating art in my studio.
