What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

When you send us a message via the contact form on our website, we collect the information you provide: your name, your email address, and your message. We only use this information to respond to your inquiry. We never share your data with third parties and do not use it for marketing purposes.

Purchase of Artworks

When you contact us to purchase an artwork, we collect the necessary information to complete the transaction and deliver the artwork to you. This includes your name, shipping address, email address, phone number, and payment details.

We only store and use this information to:

• Ship the artwork to the correct address.
• Ensure payments are received and accounted for correctly.
• Handle any inquiries regarding your delivery.

We do not use this information for marketing purposes (such as newsletters) and we never share it with unauthorized third parties (except for necessary shipping carriers required to deliver your artwork).

Cookies

We use cookies to ensure the website functions optimally and to understand how the site is used. You can read more about the specific cookies we use and change your preferences in our Cookie Policy (which is displayed and managed via our cookie consent banner on the website).

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How long we retain your data

• Contact Inquiries: Saved in our email inbox until further notice so that we can maintain communication and history with you. You can request that we delete this conversation at any time.

• Purchase History and Delivery Details: We retain purchase information for as long as required by applicable legislation (for example, the Swedish Accounting Act, which typically requires financial records to be kept for 7 years). After this period, the data is deleted or anonymized.
