Who we are

Our website address is: https://www.worldartproject.com.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

By visiting this website, you reveal certain information to us. This information falls into two categories:

  • technical information provided by your browser during your visit, simply by viewing the website.
  • voluntary information provided by you when you choose to submit a contact form, that is clearly identified by the contact form.

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

In response to your submission of voluntary information using this website, we may attempt to contact you by phone, postal mail, or email.

We maintain distribution email lists, and we may subscribe you to any of them based on the voluntary information you provide. We always provide a way to unsubscribe from any of our mailing lists.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

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.

Analytics

Your browser supplies technical information during your visit, simply by viewing the website. This information includes your IP address, your computer make and model, your browser, your country, the length of time you visit, among other items. We share this data with Google Analytics solely for the purpose of improving our site.

Who we share your data with

We never sell, trade, or otherwise divulge to any third party technical or voluntary information that you reveal to us, except for the purposes described herein or as required by law. We do not process your information or correlate your information with third-party data except for the purposes described above. In providing information to a third party for the above purposes, we require that party to adhere to this policy.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

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

How we protect your data

We are committed to keeping private all information you reveal to us. We use technical information for operating our website service: for capacity planning and resource allocation, and for dealing with cyber attacks such as hacking and denial of service. We use voluntary information to track and respond to feedback and requests from our website visitors.

We take prudent measures to prevent unauthorized access to information you reveal to us. While no computer system can be totally protected from attack, we believe we are taking reasonable steps to safeguard your information.

This Privacy Policy does not describe handling of information that you might reveal to us in the course of a business relationship with us, even if you reveal the information through this website. Handling of such information may be governed by a services contract.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, or about your voluntary or technical information covered by it, you can contact us online.
