We provide pottery and clay craft courses. When you visit our site, we may process limited information to operate the service, improve course content, prevent abuse, and respond to your requests.

We do not sell personal information. We use data minimization by default, retain information only as long as needed, and apply security measures designed to protect confidentiality and integrity.

Data We Collect Expand

We collect information that you provide directly and information generated through normal use of the website. Examples include:

  • Contact details (name, email, phone) when you request information, book a class, or contact support.
  • Course preferences such as topics you view, workshop type, and schedule interests, to personalize recommendations.
  • Usage data like pages visited, approximate location (derived from IP), device type, and referral source, typically via analytics tools.
  • Communications you send to us (messages, form submissions, and customer support requests).

Data minimization

If a field is optional, it is optional on purpose. If we don’t need something to provide the requested service, we don’t ask for it.

We process information for the following purposes:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the website and course-related services.
  • Respond to inquiries, confirm bookings, and provide customer support.
  • Improve content quality, troubleshoot issues, and measure feature effectiveness.
  • Protect against fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access.
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations and enforce our policies.

Where required, we rely on your consent (for example, for non-essential cookies). In other cases, we rely on legitimate interests, contractual necessity, or legal obligations, depending on context.
