PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: August, 2026
Ephemera Works (“Ephemera Works,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how personal information is collected, used, and shared through our website.
This Privacy Policy explains our practices when you visit ephemeraworks.com (the “Website”), contact us through the Website, visit our online store at shop.ephemeraworks.com, purchase products through our Fourthwall-powered storefront, or otherwise interact with us.
Ephemera Works is based in Texas, United States.
Our online store is powered by Fourthwall, Inc. (“Fourthwall”). Fourthwall provides the ecommerce platform used for our storefront and handles functions including checkout, payment processing, order infrastructure, and other ecommerce services. Fourthwall has its own privacy practices, which are discussed further below.
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed by Ephemera Works. Where another company, such as Fourthwall, processes personal information for its own purposes, its own privacy policy may also apply.
1. Information We Collect
The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with Ephemera Works.
A. Information You Provide Through Our Contact Form
If you contact us using the contact form on our Website, we may collect:
• First name
• Last name
• Email address
• Company or business name, if you choose to provide it
• The contents of your message
• Any other information you voluntarily include in your message
We use this information primarily to receive, review, and respond to your inquiry.
Contact-form submissions are delivered to and stored through our email provider. We do not currently maintain a separate customer relationship management database for contact-form submissions.
Please do not submit passwords, payment-card numbers, government identification numbers, medical information, or other highly sensitive information through the contact form unless we specifically request such information through an appropriate method.
B. Information Related to Purchases
Our online storefront at shop.ephemeraworks.com is powered by Fourthwall.
When you purchase a product through our Fourthwall storefront, information associated with the order may include:
• Your name
• Email address
• Shipping address
• Billing-related information
• Products purchased
• Order number
• Order status
• Shipping and fulfillment information
• Customer-service information relating to the order
• Other information necessary to process or fulfill the purchase
Ephemera Works may receive or have access to portions of this information through Fourthwall as necessary to administer and fulfill orders, provide customer support, understand orders placed through our storefront, resolve problems, and operate our shop.
Payment-card information is processed through Fourthwall and its payment providers. Ephemera Works does not intentionally collect or store complete payment-card numbers through our portfolio Website.
Fourthwall may collect and process additional information when you interact with the storefront, including payment, device, usage, cookie, fraud-prevention, and transaction information. Fourthwall’s collection and processing practices are also governed by its own privacy policy.
C. Information Collected Automatically on Our Main Website
Ephemera Works does not currently use third-party analytics platforms, advertising pixels, or behavioral advertising trackers on the main Website.
For example, we do not currently intentionally deploy technologies such as:
• Google Analytics
• Meta Pixel
• TikTok Pixel
• Pinterest advertising tags
• Behavioral advertising pixels
However, basic technical information may still be processed automatically by our website host, server infrastructure, security services, domain infrastructure, or other providers necessary to deliver and protect the Website.
This information may include:
• Internet Protocol (IP) address
• Browser type
• Device type
• Operating system
• Date and time of a request
• Pages or files requested
• Referring page or website
• Server logs
• Security and diagnostic information
Such information may be processed as necessary to deliver the Website, maintain its security, diagnose technical problems, prevent abuse, and operate the underlying infrastructure.
We may introduce analytics or similar technologies in the future. If we materially change our tracking practices, we will update this Privacy Policy and implement additional consent or opt-out mechanisms where required by applicable law.
2. How We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information for the purposes described below.
Responding to Inquiries

• Follow up when appropriate
Processing and Fulfilling Orders
Information received through or in connection with Fourthwall may be used to:
• Process and administer orders
• Produce or fulfill products
• Arrange shipping and delivery
• Provide order-related communications
• Address order problems
• Process returns, replacements, or refunds where applicable

Complying With Legal Obligations
We may use or retain information when reasonably necessary to:
• Comply with applicable laws
• Respond to lawful government requests or legal process
• Maintain accounting or business records
• Resolve disputes
• Enforce applicable agreements
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
• Protect our rights, property, users, or others
3. Email Marketing
Ephemera Works does not currently operate a promotional email mailing list through the mainWebsite.
We may introduce email marketing in the future.
If we do so, we may provide a separate signup form through which visitors can voluntarily subscribe to receive communications such as:
• New artwork announcements
• Product releases
• Shop updates
• Restock announcements
• Promotions
• Other Ephemera Works news
Before activating such a system, we may update this Privacy Policy to identify the applicable email-marketing provider and explain any additional processing that occurs.
Where required by applicable law, promotional communications will be sent only after you have affirmatively opted in or another lawful basis for sending the communication exists.
We will not automatically treat an ordinary contact-form submission as consent to receive promotional marketing.
We will also not automatically treat a purchase from our Fourthwall shop as consent to receive promotional email where applicable law requires separate consent.
If promotional emails are introduced, recipients will be provided with a method to unsubscribe.
4. How We Share Personal Information
We do not disclose personal information simply for the purpose of allowing unrelated parties to use it however they wish.
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to operate the Website, respond to inquiries, fulfill orders, provide services, protect the business, or comply with law.
Website and Email Providers
Information may be processed by companies that provide technical services to us, such as:
• Website hosting
• Domain and network infrastructure
• Email hosting
• Website security
• Contact-form delivery
These providers may process limited personal information in connection with providing their services.
Fourthwall
Our store at shop.ephemeraworks.com is powered by Fourthwall.
Fourthwall provides ecommerce infrastructure and may process information relating to:
• Store visits
• Checkout
• Payments
• Orders
• Shipping
• Fulfillment
• Customer support
• Fraud prevention
• Cookies and similar technologies
• Storefront performance
• Other functions associated with its platform
Fourthwall may process certain personal information on behalf of Ephemera Works and may also process information for purposes described in Fourthwall’s own Privacy Policy.
We encourage customers using our store to review Fourthwall’s Privacy Policy for additional information about its practices.
Payment Providers
Fourthwall uses payment providers to process transactions. Those providers may receive information necessary to authorize and process payment.
Ephemera Works does not intentionally receive or store complete payment-card numbers through our mainWebsite.
Production, Fulfillment, and Shipping Providers
Information necessary to manufacture, fulfill, or deliver an order may be provided to production partners, fulfillment providers, postal services, shipping carriers, or other parties involved in completing an order.
This may include information such as:
• Recipient name
• Shipping address
• Contact information where necessary
• Product ordered
• Order or shipping identifiers
Professional and Legal Services
Information may be shared with accountants, attorneys, insurers, consultants, or other professional advisers where reasonably necessary for legitimate business or legal purposes.

We may disclose personal information when we reasonably believe doing so is necessary to:
• Comply with applicable law
• Respond to a subpoena, court order, warrant, or other lawful process
• Respond to a lawful request from a government authority
• Prevent or investigate fraud or illegal activity
• Protect our legal rights
• Protect the security or safety of Ephemera Works, our visitors, customers, or others
Business Transfers
If Ephemera Works undergoes a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, financing transaction, or similar change in ownership or control, information associated with the business may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
5. Selling and Sharing Personal Information
Ephemera Works does not currently sell personal information for money.
We also do not currently use third-party behavioral advertising or cross-site advertising technologies on the main Website.
Certain privacy laws define terms such as “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” more broadly than an ordinary exchange of personal information for money.
Fourthwall separately operates the technology underlying our store and may use cookies, analytics, or similar technologies according to its own privacy practices.
If Ephemera Works later introduces advertising technologies or another practice that constitutes a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable law, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any opt-out mechanism required by applicable law.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The main Ephemera Works Website does not currently intentionally use third-party analytics or advertising cookies.
The Website or its underlying hosting and security infrastructure may use cookies, local storage, server logs, or similar technologies that are necessary to:
• Operate the Website
• Maintain security
• Prevent abuse
• Maintain basic functionality
• Remember technically necessary settings
Our Fourthwall storefront may separately use cookies and similar technologies as part of Fourthwall’s ecommerce platform.
Because the storefront is powered by Fourthwall, Fourthwall’s privacy and cookie practices should also be reviewed when visiting or purchasing through shop.ephemeraworks.com.
If Ephemera Works introduces nonessential analytics, advertising, or similar cookies on the main Website in the future, we will update our disclosures and implement consent or privacy controls where required.
7. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Signals
Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting.
Because there is no universally accepted standard governing traditional DNT signals, the main EphemeraWorks Website does not currently take a separate action in response to traditional DNT signals.
However, we do not currently intentionally deploy cross-site behavioral advertising trackers on the mainWebsite.
Where applicable law requires recognition of a legally recognized opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, and Ephemera Works engages in processing to which that signal applies, we will take reasonable steps to honor the signal as required by applicable law.
The Fourthwall storefront may have separate technical capabilities and privacy controls governed by Fourthwall’s practices.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, taking into account applicable legal, business, accounting, security, and dispute-resolution requirements.
Contact-Form Messages
Contact-form messages may be retained in our email account for as long as reasonably necessary to:
• Respond to the inquiry
• Maintain relevant business correspondence
• Continue an ongoing business relationship
• Resolve disputes
• Maintain records where reasonably necessary
Messages that are no longer reasonably needed may be deleted as part of our ordinary email-management practices.
Order Information
Order-related information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to:
• Complete and document transactions
• Provide customer service
• Resolve returns, chargebacks, or disputes
• Detect fraud
• Maintain business or accounting records
• Comply with applicable legal requirements
Fourthwall and other providers may maintain information according to their own applicable retention policies.
Technical Information
Server, security, and technical logs may be retained according to the normal practices of the provider operating the relevant infrastructure and for as long as reasonably necessary for technical, security, fraud-prevention, or legal purposes.
We may retain information for longer where required by law or reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
9. Legal Bases for Processing in the EEA and United Kingdom
This section applies where the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“EU GDPR”), UnitedKingdom data-protection law, or similar requirements apply to our processing.
Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on one or more of the following legal bases.
Legitimate Interests
We may process information where reasonably necessary for legitimate interests such as:
• Responding to ordinary communications
• Operating and securing the Website
• Preventing fraud and abuse
• Maintaining appropriate business records
• Protecting our legal rights
We rely on legitimate interests only where those interests are not overridden by applicable rights and interests of the individual.
Steps at Your Request or Performance of a Contract
We may process information where necessary to:
• Respond to a request made before entering into a business relationship
• Process a transaction
• Provide an ordered product
• Fulfill contractual obligations
• Address an order or customer-service matter
Legal Obligations
We may process or retain information where necessary to comply with legal obligations that apply to us.
Consent
Where required, we may process information based on your consent.
For example, if we later introduce promotional email marketing or nonessential tracking technologies that require consent, we may request consent before beginning that processing.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
10. International Data Transfers
Ephemera Works is based in the United States.
If you live outside the United States, your personal information may be transferred to and processed in theUnited States or another country where Ephemera Works or a service provider operates.
For example:
Contact-form information may be processed through our email or hosting provider.
Fourthwall and its service providers may process order and storefront information in countries where they maintain operations or service providers.
Production and shipping providers may process information in locations necessary to manufacture and deliver your order.
Privacy laws in another country may differ from the laws where you live.
Where applicable law requires particular safeguards for international transfers under our responsibility, we will use or rely upon an appropriate lawful mechanism as required.

As explained above, we do not currently take a separate action in response to traditional browser Do Not Track signals.

15. Residents of Other Jurisdictions
Privacy laws differ by country, state, province, and territory.
If a privacy law applicable to Ephemera Works gives you rights not specifically described in this PrivacyPolicy, we will process a valid request as required by that law.
The fact that this Website can be accessed from a particular jurisdiction does not necessarily mean that every law of that jurisdiction applies to Ephemera Works.
16. Automated Decision-Making

Fourthwall or payment providers may independently use automated systems for functions such as security, fraud detection, or payment authorization according to their own practices.

The Website and our products are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under the age of 13.
Ephemera Works does not knowingly collect personal information through the main Website from children under 13.

Different age thresholds or additional protections may apply under the laws of certain jurisdictions.

• Using secure connections for the Website

• Fourthwall

We do not control the privacy practices of independently operated third-party websites and encourage you to review their privacy notices.

• Our Website
