ArtAddict publishes articles about art and culture. This notice explains the personal information involved when you use this website, contact us, or submit a contribution. It does not ask you to agree to data processing merely by reading the site.
Who is responsible
ArtAddict is an independently run personal art blog responsible for its editorial activities and the information described in this notice. For privacy requests, contact contact@artaddict.me.
Information we handle and why
- Site delivery and security: Requests to the site may generate IP address, browser, device, requested page, and time information in hosting and security logs. We use this information to operate, secure, and diagnose the site. Our basis is legitimate interests in operating a secure publication.
- Messages and article proposals: If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to send, such as your name, biography, draft, or image credits. We use it to answer you, consider your proposal, and manage an editorial relationship. Our basis is legitimate interests in responding and publishing, or steps requested before an agreement where relevant.
- Privacy choice: Your browser stores a small preference indicating whether optional external media may load. This is needed to remember your choice. Optional media is enabled only if you choose it, and you can change the choice at any time using “Privacy choices” in the footer.
This static site does not currently offer public accounts, a newsletter signup, or a working comment form. We do not claim to collect those data through the site.
External services
Our hosting and content-delivery providers handle requests needed to serve the website. Some pages use fonts delivered by Google Fonts, and some articles include images hosted by third parties; requesting those resources may disclose your IP address and browser information to their hosts. External media such as Instagram feed content, Facebook embeds, and YouTube videos is optional and loads only after you enable it or choose to open an external link. A link to a social platform opens that platform under its own privacy terms. This website does not run an advertising network.
Service providers may operate outside your country. Where international transfer rules apply, the publisher must use an appropriate transfer mechanism. You can contact us for details of the providers and safeguards in use.
How long information is kept
Privacy preferences remain in your browser until you change or clear them. Hosting and security records are retained according to the hosting provider's configured security and diagnostic schedule. We retain correspondence and submitted material for the time needed to answer, evaluate, or document the editorial relationship, and longer only where a legal obligation or a specific dispute requires it. You can ask about a particular record at the address above.
Your choices and rights
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or an objection to processing. You may withdraw a consent choice without affecting earlier lawful processing. Contact us at contact@artaddict.me; we may need enough information to verify a request. If EU or UK data protection law applies, you may also complain to your local supervisory authority. We do not make solely automated decisions about readers.
Changes
We will update this notice when the services or data practices change, and show the new date above. See our Cookie Policy for the current optional media choice.
