Private Policies
At Carved & Co., operated by Keith Layne Photography, LLC, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our website or make a purchase.
By accessing our website or providing us with your information, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
When you make a purchase from our store, we collect personal information you provide—such as your name, address, phone number, email, and payment details—as part of the order and delivery process.
In addition, when you browse our site, we may automatically receive technical data including your IP address, browser type, and device details to help improve our platform’s performance and your shopping experience.
If you subscribe to our newsletter or marketing updates, we may use your contact information to send you product news, promotions, or announcements—with your explicit permission.
2. Your Consent
How is consent given?
By entering your personal details to complete a transaction, place an order, or request customer service, you agree to our collection and use of that information for that purpose only.
For any additional purposes, such as email marketing, we will request your clear consent before proceeding.
How can consent be withdrawn?
If you change your mind after opting in, you can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at:
📧 info@carvedandco.com
3. Sharing Your Information
We may disclose your personal details if required to do so by law or if you breach our Terms of Use. Your data is otherwise kept confidential and only shared with third-party services necessary for fulfilling your order.
4. Our E-Commerce Platform
Our online store is powered by Shopify Inc., which securely stores your data using industry-standard safeguards.
Payments:
If you complete your order using a direct payment method, your payment data is processed through Shopify’s PCI-DSS-compliant infrastructure. Your payment information is encrypted and only stored as long as needed to complete the transaction. Once complete, the data is securely deleted.
Shopify follows the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS), which ensures that your card data is handled safely.

Shopify’s Terms | Shopify’s Privacy Policy
5. Third-Party Services
Some third-party partners (e.g., payment processors, shipping providers) may require access to your personal data to fulfill services on our behalf. These partners have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them for a full understanding of how your information may be handled.
If your data is processed by a provider outside of your region, your information may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction (e.g., the U.S. Patriot Act if your data is processed in the U.S.).
Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party service, this Privacy Policy no longer applies.
6. Data Protection & Security
We take appropriate security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, misuse, or loss. Sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption.
While no system can be guaranteed 100% secure, we follow industry best practices and comply with all applicable PCI-DSS guidelines.
