7a. SMS and Text Marketing
If you choose to receive text messages from us, we will collect your mobile phone number and any other information necessary to send you those messages. By subscribing, you consent to receive recurring automated marketing and informational text messages (e.g., updates, offers, order notifications) from The Tell Tale Moon LLC / The Tell Tale Art at the mobile number you provided. Consent to receive automated marketing text messages is not a condition of any purchase.
Message frequency varies. Standard message and data rates may apply.
You can opt out of receiving text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message we send, or by contacting us at info@thetelltaleart.com. After you send “STOP,” we may send one additional message to confirm that your opt-out request has been processed.
For help regarding our text program, reply HELP to any message or email us at info@thetelltaleart.com.
We may use an SMS service provider to transmit messages, and that provider will act as our processor. We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile number with unaffiliated third parties for their own marketing purposes.
We maintain appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information.
8. Email Marketing & Communication Preferences
We love to share new designs and updates — but only if you want them. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of our messages or by contacting us directly.
Please note that we may still send important transactional emails (such as order confirmations or legal updates) even if you opt out of marketing communications.
9. Do-Not-Track & Cookies
We do not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals because no industry standard exists. You can, however, manage cookie preferences in your browser settings and opt out of third-party analytics or advertising cookies as desired.
