ARTINGLE PRIVACY POLICY (BETA VERSION)
ARTINGLE PRIVACY POLICY (BETA VERSION)
Last Updated: 02.26.2026
Artingle LLC (“Artingle,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and safeguard information when you access or use the Artingle website, mobile application, and related services (the “Platform”). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through the Platform. It does not apply to third-party websites, services, or applications that may be linked to or integrated with Artingle. Your interactions with such third parties are governed by their respective privacy policies, and Artingle is not responsible for their practices.
2. Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you register for an account, create or update your profile, upload portfolio content, send messages, participate in communities, or contact us. This may include your name, email address, username, professional details, portfolio materials, and any other information you choose to share publicly or privately through the Platform.
When you use messaging features, we store message content and related metadata as necessary to provide communication functionality, maintain system integrity, and support community safety. We do not actively monitor all private communications; however, message data may be accessed when investigating reported violations, addressing safety concerns, enforcing our Terms of Service, or complying with legal obligations.
We also automatically collect certain technical and usage information when you interact with the Platform. This may include your IP address, device type, browser type, operating system, application version, session duration, pages visited, click activity, scrolling behavior, and other interaction data. This information helps us improve performance, maintain security, analyze trends, and enhance the user experience.
Artingle uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that enable session functionality, security features, and usage analytics. During the beta stage, we may use analytics providers, including services such as Microsoft Clarity and similar tools, to understand how users interact with the Platform. Microsoft Clarity may collect information regarding browsing behavior, clicks, scrolling activity, and interaction patterns, and may use session replay technology to help us identify usability issues and improve functionality. Sensitive input fields are not intentionally recorded. In the future, we may use additional analytics services, including tools similar to Google Analytics, to analyze aggregated usage trends and improve the Platform. These providers process information in accordance with their own privacy policies. You may control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may affect Platform functionality.
If payment functionality is introduced, transactions may be processed by third-party payment processors. Artingle does not store full credit card numbers or complete payment credentials. Payment data is handled directly by the third-party processor in accordance with their security and privacy standards.
3. How We Use Information
We use personal information to create and manage accounts, enable communication and collaboration between users, provide customer support, maintain security, improve Platform functionality, analyze usage patterns, prevent fraud, enforce our Terms of Service, and comply with legal obligations. Publicly shared content may also be used for promotional or marketing purposes related to Artingle. We do not sell personal information to advertisers, data brokers, or other third parties.
4. How We Share Information
We minimized the usage of third-party service. We may share personal information with trusted third-party service providers that assist us in operating the Platform. These providers may include cloud hosting services, analytics providers, communication infrastructure providers, payment processors, identity verification services, and application distribution platforms. We require such providers to process personal information in accordance with applicable laws and contractual obligations.
We may also disclose information if required by law, court order, governmental request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of Artingle, our users, or others. We do not sell personal data.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Platform, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain security. Because Artingle is currently operating in beta, certain information may be modified, migrated, or deleted as part of system updates, testing, or product improvements. Users are encouraged to maintain independent backups of their portfolio content. You may request account deletion by contacting us, subject to legal and operational requirements.
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Use of the Platform is at your own risk.
7. Children’s Privacy
Artingle is not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that such information has been collected, we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
8. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of your data. You may contact us at hello@artingle.io to submit such requests. We may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
9. International Users and Data Transfers
Artingle is based in the United States. If you access the Platform from outside the United States, you understand that your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. These jurisdictions may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country of residence. By using the Platform, you acknowledge and consent to such transfer and processing in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Where required by applicable law, Artingle will implement appropriate safeguards for international data transfers.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are made, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
