Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 2026
Welcome to Art Fair Community (“Company,” “we,” “our,” “us”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this privacy policy. This policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit the website artfaircommunity.com (our “Website”) and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.
1. Information We Collect
We collect several types of information from and about users of our Website, including information by which you may be personally identified, such as name and email address (“personal information”), and information about your internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Website, and usage details.
Collection of Account Information:
We collect basic personal information, including your name and email address, when you voluntarily submit it to create an account, subscribe to premium tools, or submit an art fair review.
Collection of Financial Information:
When you upgrade to a premium subscription or elect to receive cash rewards through our Reviewer Rewards program, financial transactions are processed securely through industry-standard, third-party payment gateways (e.g., Stripe or PayPal). We do not store your full credit card numbers or sensitive bank routing details directly on our servers.
Purpose of Collection:
This data is collected to manage your account, track earned platform credits (AFC Credits), process subscription billing or payouts, and notify you of platform updates. Your contact information will never be sold to third parties or used for unauthorized spam.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any personal information:
- To present our Website and its contents to you.
- To provide you with information, products, or services that you request from us.
- To fulfill any other purpose for which you provide it.
- To notify you about changes to our Website or any products or services we offer or provide through it.
Reviewer Rewards and Platform Credits:
To build an accurate B2B directory, we offer compensation or platform credit (AFC Credits) to verified artists who submit high-quality reviews of art fairs.
- Tracking: When you submit a review, your submission and any earned credits are securely tracked and linked to your registered account.
- Payouts: Any elected cash compensation is distributed via secure third-party payment processors. We will never ask for your bank passwords directly on our site to process these rewards.
- Transparency & Fraud Prevention: We retain internal records of review submissions to verify authenticity and prevent fraud before issuing credits or compensation, ensuring the integrity of our community data.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
As you navigate through and interact with our Website, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns. This includes cookies (small files placed on the hard drive of your computer).
You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our Website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Website.
4. Data Security and Sharing
We take the security of your data seriously. All data transmitted to our site is encrypted via secure socket layer (SSL) technology. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others.
Aggregated Data:
We may share generic aggregated demographic information (such as average art fair sales data, weather impacts, or attendance trends) that is completely stripped of identifying personal information.
Reviewer Anonymity:
To protect our users from potential retaliation by event promoters, users may have the option to display their reviews anonymously on the public-facing Website. However, we securely retain the internal record of the reviewer's identity for verification purposes.
Service Providers:
We may disclose personal information to contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use strictly to support our business operations (such as payment processing and email hosting).
5. Your Data Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. You can usually do this by logging into the Website and visiting your account profile page, or by sending us an email at support@artfaircommunity.com to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information.
6. Changes to Our Privacy Policy
It is our policy to post any changes we make to our privacy policy on this page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users' personal information, we will notify you by email to the primary email address specified in your account or through a notice on the Website home page.
