Privacy Policy

At AR-Tist Alley ("we," or "us"), we value the privacy of individuals who use our websites and related services (collectively, our "Services"). This Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, and share the personal information of users of our Services ("users," "you," or "your"). By using our Services, you agree to the collection, use, disclosure, and processing of your information as described by this Privacy Notice. Personal information is information that identifies or could be used to identify a specific person. Personal information does not include deidentified information (anonymized or pseudonymized) or aggregated information derived from personal information. We may collect a variety of personal information and other information about you or your devices from various sources, as described below.

Information You Provide to Us

Registration Information. If you sign up for an account, register to use our Services, or sign up for emails or other updates, we may ask you for basic contact information, such as your name, email address, phone number, and/or mailing address. We may also collect certain demographic information when you register for our Services, including your age, gender, personal interests, income, and/or marital status.

Communications. 

If you contact us directly, we may collect additional information from you. For example, when you reach out to our customer support team, we may ask for your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, or other contact information so that we can verify your identity and communicate with you. We may also store the contents of any message or attachments that you send to us, as well as any information you submit through any of our forms or questionnaires.

Events. 

If you register for an event that we host, whether in-person or online, we may collect relevant information such as your name, address, title, company, phone number, or email address, as well as specific information relevant to the event for which you are registering.

User Content. 

We may allow you and other users of our Services to share their own content with others. This may include posts, comments, reviews, artwork, AR creations, or other user-generated content. Unless otherwise noted when creating such content, this information may be shared publicly through our Services.

Payment Information. 

If you make a purchase through our Services, we (or a third-party payment processor acting on our behalf) may collect payment card information, billing address, and other information necessary to process your transaction. We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers; payment processing is handled by secure third-party providers such as Stripe or PayPal that comply with PCI-DSS standards.

Information Collected Automatically

When you use our Services, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain information, including:

• Usage and Device Information: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, access times, pages viewed, links clicked, and referring URLs.
• Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar tracking technologies to recognize you, remember your preferences, analyze usage, and deliver personalized content and advertising. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may limit functionality.
• Location Information: With your consent, we may collect precise geolocation data (e.g., from your device) to support AR features or event recommendations. You may disable location services at any time through your device settings.
• Analytics and Advertising: We use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) and may work with advertising partners to deliver targeted ads on and off our Services.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our Services, including AR features and artist tools.
• Process transactions and manage accounts.
• Communicate with you about updates, promotions, and customer support.
• Personalize your experience and show relevant content or ads.
• Analyze usage trends and conduct research to develop new features.
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, security issues, or violations of our Terms of Service.

How We Share Your Information

We may share personal information in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: With vendors, contractors, and partners who perform services on our behalf (hosting, analytics, payment processing, email delivery, customer support, etc.), under contractual obligations to protect your data.
• Publicly Shared Content: User-generated content (posts, artwork, profiles) may be visible to other users or the public, depending on your privacy settings.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction.
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, subpoena, court order, or government request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of AR-Tist Alley, our users, or the public.
• With Your Consent: In other cases where you have explicitly consented to the sharing.

We do not sell your personal information for monetary compensation. Targeted advertising through cookies or similar technologies may be considered “sharing” under certain state laws (e.g., CCPA).

• Limit the use of sensitive personal information.
• Opt out of certain automated decision-making or profiling.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Notice, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn we have collected such data, we will take steps to delete it. Parents or guardians should contact us if they believe their child has provided information.

International Data Transfers

If you are located outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using our Services, you consent to this transfer, which may be subject to different data protection standards than your jurisdiction.

Changes to This Privacy Notice 

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new notice on our website and updating the “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated notice.
