Privacy

Updated 14 September 2026. Paws For Thought is operated by Sean Cousins. Contact seanleecousins@gmail.com about your information or to request access, correction or deletion.

Your account

We use Supabase to provide email/password and Google sign-in. Google sign-in shares your email address and basic profile information with us to identify your account. We do not request access to your Gmail messages or Google Drive files. Password authentication is managed by Supabase; passwords are not shown to shop administrators.

Shopping and your cat designs

When you request a delivery quote, we save the artwork and delivery details you provide so we can calculate delivery and prepare your order. Delivery details are sent to Gelato for a quote. For fulfilment, Gelato receives the artwork and delivery details needed to produce and deliver your items. Stripe handles payments. We receive payment status and an order reference; we do not store your full card number.

Uploaded cat photos remain on your device while you edit them. The final print artwork is uploaded when you request an order quote. You should only upload photos you have permission to use.

Contact messages

We save the name, email address, message and optional order reference you submit. Resend delivers contact and account emails. Contact messages are sent to Sean at the email address above. Please do not include passwords or payment card details.

Storage and use

Shop records and print artwork are stored using the website hosting service’s database and file storage. We use your information to provide accounts, respond to enquiries, process requested quotes and orders, and protect the shop from misuse. We do not sell your information or use Google account data for advertising.

Your browser stores sign-in information and temporary checkout details needed to keep you signed in and return you to your order. Signing out ends your local account session. We keep information only as needed for these purposes and applicable record-keeping obligations. You can contact us about deleting an account or abandoned artwork; some order records may need to be retained.

The website loads its display fonts from Google Fonts, which receives the network information needed to deliver those font files.

Your choices

You can use email/password instead of Google. You can also remove the shop’s access through your Google account settings. Contact us to exercise your data rights or raise a concern. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
