Event inquiries

The email request planner prepares an email for you to review and send through your own email application. Filling out that planner alone does not send your information to emorbe. We use the details you share by email or phone to respond and discuss your event.

Online reservations

Where native checkout is enabled, continuing to checkout saves your name, email, event details, painting choice, accepted terms, and temporary reservation in our booking database. Staff use this information to arrange your gathering. A private link lets you return to your confirmation; keep that link private.

Class registrations and email

Registering for a scheduled class saves your name, email, seat count, payment choice, accepted terms and registration status. Pay-at-the-door registration reserves seats without an online charge. We use Microsoft 365 to send registration updates and admin sign-in links. Admin-uploaded event images are public when the event is published. Customer reference photos remain private.

Class availability notifications

If you request an availability email, we store your email address, requested seat count, class, consent and notification status. You must confirm your email before alerts begin. This does not reserve seats, authorize payment or subscribe you to marketing. Each confirmed request receives at most one availability alert; seats are checked again when you register. Every notification email includes a private unsubscribe link. We remove waitlist contact details on unsubscribe or within 30 days after the class; unconfirmed requests expire after 24 hours. Existing booking and email-delivery records retain their current retention rules.

Private craft requests and quotes

The private craft request form saves your contact information, chosen project, guest count, preferred date/time and notes. Staff can send a quote and temporarily hold a date. We retain accepted quote details, payment/refund status and attendance for managing your booking. Guest management links exchange for a short-lived essential cookie and can be revoked by staff. Keep these links private. Event reminders and material booking updates are transactional messages, not marketing subscriptions.

Reference photographs

Photos selected in the email request planner stay in your browser until you attach them to your email. In native checkout, your selected reference photo is uploaded privately with your booking for staff and instructor review. It is not added to the public painting collection.

Payments

Square provides the secure card fields and processes payments when checkout is enabled. Our site receives a payment status, payment identifier, and receipt link. It does not receive or store your card number or security code. Sandbox previews use test payments and do not reserve actual venue dates.

Website delivery and essential storage

Vercel hosts the website and may process technical request information to deliver and secure it. The booking database stores reservation details. Essential browser storage helps you resume checkout, and a secure cookie keeps authorized staff signed in. We have not added advertising trackers or marketing cookies.

Optional weekly class emails

When class email signup is available, it is separate from bookings and class availability alerts. We store a stable subscriber ID, confirmed email, consent history and your optional craft and day/time preferences. Changing your email requires confirmation and keeps your preferences. We use combined preferences to help plan classes, with small groups hidden from demand reports. Newsletter emails are sent through Microsoft 365 and include preference and unsubscribe links. They do not reserve seats.

Confirmation links expire after 24 hours; unconfirmed contacts are removed within seven days. Unsubscribe stops future roundups, and we remove contact details and preferences from the website’s newsletter database within 30 days. Minimal hashed suppression and consent records remain to prevent unwanted repeat sending. Booking records are separate. Microsoft’s sending mailbox also retains sent email under its mailbox retention settings; contact us if you need help removing a retained message.
