Privacy Policy

At Artanic (accessible at https://artanic.com), we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your data when you interact with our website.

1. Who We Are

Artanic is an online platform dedicated to showcasing and selling curated photographic artwork. Our website address is: https://artanic.com.

2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.

An anonymized hash of your email may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media Uploads

If you upload images to the website, we advise against including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images published on the site.

Cookies

We use cookies to improve user experience and personalize your visit. Here’s how:

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last one year.

  • A temporary cookie is set when visiting our login page to check cookie acceptance. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

  • Upon logging in, cookies are set to store login credentials and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days; display preference cookies last one year. If you select “Remember Me,” login persists for two weeks.

  • Editing or publishing an article sets an additional cookie that stores the article ID and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves the same as if you visited the originating site directly.

These third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content — including tracking if you have an account and are logged into that site.

3. How We Use and Share Your Data

We do not sell or rent your personal data.

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the email for security verification.

Visitor comments may be screened through an automated spam detection service.

4. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments and related metadata are stored indefinitely to recognize and auto-approve future follow-ups.

  • For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their profile. Users can edit or delete this information anytime (except usernames). Site administrators can also access and update it.

5. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request:

  • An exported file of the personal data we hold about you

  • Deletion of any personal data we retain (excluding data required for administrative, legal, or security purposes)

To request this, please contact us at contact@artanic.com.
