Privacy Policy

Effective November 14, 2026

This site, estherbeler.com, is run by me, Esther BeLer Wodrich, an artist based in Litchfield Park, Arizona. I collect only what I need to sell my artwork, create Woodchuck Project memorial pieces and answer your messages. I never sell your information.

What I collect

  • When you buy artwork: your name, email, phone number, and billing and shipping addresses. Payments are handled by PayPal, so your card number never reaches me or this site.
  • When you request a Woodchuck Project piece: your name, email and shipping address, your loved one’s name, the quote or memory you share, and the reference photos you upload.
  • When you send a message: your name, email and whatever you write.
  • When you visit the site: your IP address and basic browser details. The Wordfence security service records these to block attacks. The shop also uses cookies to remember your cart and keep you signed in. 

How I use it

  • To process orders, ship artwork and send order updates
  • To create your memorial piece and keep you updated on your place on the waitlist
  • To reply to your messages
  • To keep the site secure and working
  • To keep records required for taxes

I won’t add you to a mailing list unless you ask to join one.

Your loved one’s photos and story

The photos and memories you share for The Woodchuck Project are used only to create your artwork. I won’t post your loved one’s portrait, name or story anywhere, including this site or social media, without your written permission. 

Who else sees your information

Only the services this site needs to run:

  • Payment: PayPal, Venmo, Zelle and Stripe, depending on how you pay
  • Shipping: the U.S. Postal Service, which receives your name and address
  • Website: My web host, which stores the site, and Wordfence, which protects it

Each follows its own privacy policy. I may also share information if the law requires it.

How long I keep it

I keep order and contribution records for as long as tax rules require, generally seven years. I may delete messages and Woodchuck Project submissions once they’re no longer needed, except for the basic contact and shipping details tied to a delivered piece.

Your choices

You can ask to see, correct or delete the information I hold about you. Contact me and I’ll respond within 30 days. I’ll keep anything I’m required to keep for tax records.

Children

This site isn’t meant for children under 13, and I don’t knowingly collect their information. A parent or guardian can submit a Woodchuck Project request for a child they’ve lost or on behalf of a child.

Changes

If I change this policy, I’ll post the new version here with a new effective date.
