Gallery Sitka receives email correspondence from Square with the amount paid, date and time of purchase as well as the information mentioned above.

WHY? Since gallerysitka.com ships items directly to you, we need your shipping address, telephone number in case we or the postal service needs to contact you and what you bought so we know what to send you!

If you leave items in your shopping cart that you have not purchased, we may send you reminders via email, across social networks, or the greater world wide web through banner ads so that you can complete your purchase.
