Introduction
Our Approach to Your Privacy.
Daría Artist respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information thoughtfully, responsibly and transparently.
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through this website, including information submitted through contact forms, commission enquiries, reference-photograph uploads, account or checkout pages and other interactions with the site.
By using the website, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy. Where consent is required by law, information will be processed only after the appropriate consent has been obtained.
Scope of this policy
This policy applies to the Daría Artist website and services. Third-party websites and services have their own privacy practices and policies.

The website may automatically receive your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, viewed pages, approximate location and cookie identifiers.
Payment information
Payments may be processed by independent payment providers. Daría Artist does not intend to directly receive or store complete credit-card numbers. Payment providers process transaction information under their own privacy policies and security practices.

To send optional marketing communications when consent has been provided or another lawful basis applies.
Legal bases for processing
Where the European Economic Area or United Kingdom data protection rules apply, information may be processed because it is necessary to perform a contract, respond before entering a contract, comply with a legal obligation, pursue legitimate business interests or act with your consent.
Where processing depends on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully completed before consent was withdrawn.

Providers that host, maintain, secure or support the WordPress website and its plugins.

Sale or sharing of personal information
Daría Artist does not sell personal information for money. Certain analytics or advertising technologies can be treated as “sharing” under some privacy laws. Where applicable, visitors will be provided with relevant privacy or cookie-setting choices.
Commission Materials
Reference Photographs & Personal Artwork.
Photographs submitted for a commission may contain personal information about you or another individual. They are used to assess the proposed artwork, prepare a quotation, communicate about the project and create the commissioned portrait.
Your photographs remain private
Reference photographs and commissioned artwork will not be intentionally published in the portfolio, on social media, in promotional materials or elsewhere without appropriate permission.
Before submitting a photograph featuring another person, you should have the authority or permission needed to provide that photograph for the requested commission.
Uploaded files may be processed by the website’s hosting, form-storage, backup, security or email systems as required to receive and manage the enquiry.
Storage Periods
How Long Information Is Retained.
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including providing services, maintaining business records, resolving disputes and complying with legal obligations.
General enquiries may be retained while the conversation remains active and for a reasonable period afterward.
Commission correspondence and project records may be retained to manage the artwork, document approvals and provide future customer support.
Order, invoice, payment and delivery records may be retained for accounting, tax, fraud-prevention and legal requirements.
Deleted information may remain temporarily in restricted backups until the relevant backup cycle expires.
When information is no longer needed, reasonable steps will be taken to delete it, anonymize it or securely restrict further use.

Protection Measures
Security & International Processing.
Reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards are used to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, loss, disclosure or misuse.

Protected Access
Access to information is limited to people and providers who reasonably need it.
Trusted Providers
Service providers are selected with consideration for their role, security and data-handling practices.
