Privacy Policy
Who we are
Our website address is: www.artistalley.ca
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
We only collect personal information if you create an account on the site. For free users, this includes your user name and email address. For artists who claim a listing, this includes your name, email address, phone number, and payment information (securely processed by Stripe).
Artist profiles
Artists who claim a profile on the site may add information to the profile, including name, contact information, social media links, and images. All this information will be publicly accessible and is added at the discretion of the artist. If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data included.
Links
Convention pages provide links to each show’s website. Artist pages may provide links to artist websites and social media pages. If you follow any links from our site to another site, please note that we have no control over and are not responsible for their privacy policies and practices.
Cookies
If you have an account and you log in to this site, 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.
Who we share your data with
By default, WordPress does not share any personal data with anyone. Payments are managed by Stripe; their privacy policy can be found at https://stripe.com/en-ca/privacy.
How long we retain your data
User data is stored for as long as you maintain an account or active subscription on the site. Subscription payment records will be retained for a minimum of seven years.
For users that register on our website, 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.
How we protect your data
We take all reasonable precautions to ensure that user data is secure and protected from unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, or misuse. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
