Privacy Policy

Your information,
handled with care.

Last updated: May 27, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Make and Treasure collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information when you visit our website, place an order, contact us, or send us photos for a personalized coloring book.

Who we are

Make and Treasure creates personalized coloring books using customer-submitted photos. If you have questions about this policy, you can contact us at hello@makeandtreasure.com.

What we collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

  • Your name, email address, and any contact details you provide.
  • Order details, including product selections and purchase information.
  • Photos and instructions you upload or send to us for your custom book.
  • Shipping information, if physical products are ordered.
  • Messages you send us by email or contact form.
  • Upload details such as file names, file sizes, upload time, and order reference.
  • Basic technical information such as browser type, device type, and IP address.

How we use information

We use personal information to:

  • Process and fulfill orders.
  • Create personalized coloring books from customer-submitted photos.
  • Communicate about your order, delivery, revisions, or support requests.
  • Notify our team when new order photos have been uploaded.
  • Improve our website, product flow, and customer experience.
  • Prevent fraud, abuse, or misuse of our services.
  • Comply with legal obligations where required.

Payments

Payments on this site may be processed through third-party providers such as Stripe and PayPal. We do not store full payment card details on our own servers.

When you complete a payment, your information is handled according to the privacy terms and security practices of the payment provider you choose. You should review their policies directly:

Uploaded photos and custom artwork

The photos you upload are used only to create your personalized coloring book and to communicate with you about that order.

Photos may be stored with our website hosting or file storage provider while we work on your order. We may also receive an internal email notification that includes your order reference, upload notes, and, when technically practical, copies of the uploaded files so we can begin production.

We do not keep personal images long-term. Once your book has been created and shipped, the original uploaded images are removed from our server because we want to respect customer privacy as much as possible.

Line drawing files created from customer images may be retained for up to 3 months so that returning customers can order another book more easily. After that period, they should be deleted unless a longer retention period is needed for an active customer support issue, legal obligation, or a specific request you have made.

Cookies and analytics

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies for basic website functionality, security, remembering preferences, and understanding how the site is used.

If you later add analytics, advertising tools, chat widgets, or embedded third-party services, this section should be updated to name those tools and explain how they use data.

How we share information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information only as needed with:

  • Payment processors such as Stripe and PayPal.
  • Website hosting, file storage, and email providers that help collect uploads.
  • Printing, fulfillment, or shipping providers, if needed to complete your order.
  • Service providers who help us operate the website or support our business.
  • Authorities or other parties when required by law or to protect legal rights.

Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including fulfilling orders, handling support, maintaining business records, and meeting legal, accounting, or tax obligations.

Uploaded personal images are intended to be deleted after the book has been created and shipped. Line drawings may be retained for up to 3 months as described above.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of the personal information we hold about you.

You may also have the right to object to certain processing or to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To make a request, contact us at hello@makeandtreasure.com.

Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational steps to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for adults purchasing personalized products. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through the site.

If a child appears in customer-submitted photos, those images are handled only for the purpose of producing the ordered product.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and change the "Last updated" date at the top.
