Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

CraftVantage Gallery (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our services.

We only collect the personal data we need to respond to enquiries and manage event RSVPs. We aim to keep that collection limited and to remove RSVP records after an event cycle unless we need to keep them longer for legal or operational reasons.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

Personal Information

• Name, email address, phone number, and guest count when you submit an RSVP
• Contact details and message contents when you send us an enquiry
• Artist portfolio or biography information you voluntarily provide to us

Automatically Collected Information

• Basic request data such as IP address and browser information
• Security and abuse-prevention signals used to rate limit RSVP submissions
• Pages visited and site interaction data generated through normal website use

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Process and manage exhibition and event RSVPs
• Respond to enquiries about artworks, artists, partnerships, and programming
• Evaluate artist submissions and program participation requests
• Improve our website and services
• Prevent fraud and ensure security
• Comply with legal obligations

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

• Service Providers: Hosting, database, email, and infrastructure providers who help us operate the site securely
• Event Delivery Partners: Staff or collaborators who need attendee information to run a specific event
• Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights and safety
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including:

• Encryption in transit for traffic to our website
• Access controls around operational systems and attendee data
• Rate limiting and duplicate-prevention on RSVP submissions
• Restricted third-party services for hosting and infrastructure

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

6. Cookies and Tracking

We may use essential cookies and similar browser storage needed to keep the website working reliably. If we add analytics or marketing tools later, this policy will be updated before those tools go live.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling essential storage may affect parts of the site.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Withdraw consent where processing depends on consent

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information below.

8. Data Retention

RSVP records are kept only for as long as we need them to run and reconcile the relevant event, handle follow-up, and meet legal obligations. Our current process is manual cleanup: once an event cycle is complete, we review the attendee list, keep only what is still required, and delete the rest from our RSVP database.

If you email us or submit information for an artist or partnership enquiry, we may keep the correspondence for as long as it is needed to respond and maintain business records.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.

10. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than Nigeria. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
