Last updated: October 19, 2026

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how aregakopyan.com handles information when you browse the portfolio, contact us, create a store account, or buy collectible items. For questions or privacy requests, email [email protected].

Information we handle

Depending on your interactions with this website, we may handle:

  • Account details such as email, username, and an authenticated session identifier. Passwords are stored as password hashes, not readable passwords.
  • Order records including purchased items, order number, payment status, and shipping information returned by the payment provider.
  • Information you choose to put into contact or inquiry forms, including your name, email address, and message.
  • Operational details needed to operate and protect the website, such as request information used for security and rate limiting.
  • Cart selections saved in your browser’s local storage.

How information is used

We use information to create and maintain accounts, process orders, verify payments, prevent abuse, provide customer support, respond to inquiries, and maintain the security and performance of the website. We do not need customers to provide payment-card numbers directly to this website.

PayPal and service providers

When you choose PayPal checkout, payment approval and processing take place with PayPal under its own terms and privacy practices. PayPal may supply payment confirmation and shipping details to complete orders. Hosting, email delivery, and security infrastructure may also process information as needed to operate the website. The site may link to other websites governed by their own policies.

Cookies and local storage

The store uses a security-protected session cookie to keep you signed in. The shopping cart is saved in browser local storage. Third-party providers or hosting infrastructure may use their own cookies or similar technology. You can delete browser storage, but doing so may sign you out or clear saved cart selections.

Data retention and safeguards

Account and order data are retained as needed to maintain the service, fulfill transactions, address disputes, meet recordkeeping duties, and enforce legitimate rights. Session tokens have limited validity. Reasonable technical safeguards are used, but internet transmission and storage cannot be guaranteed completely secure.

Your requests and choices

You may ask about, correct, or request deletion of your personal account information by contacting [email protected]. We may need to verify a request and retain certain records for lawful, security, accounting, or dispute-related purposes. Any privacy rights provided by applicable law remain available to you.

Children and policy updates

This site and its store are not designed for children under 13. Please do not submit personal information if you are under that age. This policy may be updated; the date at the top indicates the latest published version.
