4.1 Consent

If you provide your mobile number and give consent, we may send you text messages relating to your orders and, where you have separately agreed, occasional marketing messages about new work, collections, and studio news.

Information sharing with subcontractors who provide support services to us, such as our messaging platform, customer service tools, and order fulfillment providers, is permitted only so that we can operate the text message program and fulfill your orders. Those providers act on our instructions, are bound by confidentiality, and may not use your mobile information for their own marketing.

We do not sell mobile phone numbers. We do not rent, trade, or license mobile phone numbers or SMS consent records to anyone. We do not share mobile numbers or consent data for lead generation or third-party analytics purposes.
