Política de privacidad

Your privacy matters deeply to us at nuzart.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you visit our website, create an account, submit artwork, or interact with our community. We encourage you to read this document carefully to understand your rights and our practices regarding your data.

1. Who Is Responsible for Your Data

nuzart.com is an online art platform dedicated to connecting artists with audiences and providing a space for creative expression. The entity operating this website is responsible for the processing of personal data as described in this policy. We act as the data controller for the information collected through our services.

This policy applies to all users of the site, including registered artists, casual visitors, and anyone who submits content or interacts with our features. If you have any questions about this policy or your data, please refer to our Contacto page for further assistance.

2. Information We Collect

We collect several types of information to provide and improve our services. The personal data we may process includes:

• Account data: when you register, we collect your username, email address, and password (stored securely).
• Profile information: any details you choose to add to your public profile, such as your artist bio, location, or website.
• Artwork submissions: images, titles, descriptions, and other metadata associated with the art you upload.
• Communications: if you contact us or participate in forums, we may retain those messages.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing behavior through cookies and similar technologies.

We also use cookies—both our own and third-party—to enhance your experience. These help us analyze site traffic, understand user preferences, and display relevant advertising based on your browsing habits, as described in the cookie section below.

3. Purposes and Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data for the following purposes:

• To provide and maintain the service: managing your account, displaying your artwork, and enabling interactions with other users. This processing is necessary for the performance of our contract with you.
• To improve our services: analyzing usage patterns, diagnosing technical issues, and optimizing user experience. This is based on our legitimate interest in offering a high-quality platform.
• To show personalized advertising: We and our advertising partners use cookies to serve ads that may be more relevant to your interests. This is based on your consent, which you provide by continuing to browse our site after seeing our cookie notice.
• To comply with legal obligations: such as retaining records for tax or legal purposes.

We will only process your personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so, and we will always strive to minimize the data collected.

4. Cookie Usage and Management

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies and similar technologies (like pixels and local storage) to make our site function properly, to understand how you interact with our content, and to deliver advertising tailored to your preferences.

Specifically, we use:

• Strictly necessary cookies: required for the operation of the website, such as keeping you logged in.
• Analytical cookies: allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve site performance.
• Advertising cookies: set by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites.

When you first visit our site, a cookie banner informs you of our use of cookies. By continuing to browse, you are considered to have accepted their use. You can change your cookie settings at any time through your browser preferences or by clicking the cookie settings link available on our site. For more details on how to manage cookies, you may also consult our Ayuda page.

5. Data Retention Periods

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. The specific retention periods depend on the type of data and the context of processing:

• Account and profile data: kept until you delete your account or request erasure. If your account becomes inactive, we may retain limited data for legitimate purposes such as fraud prevention.
• Artwork submissions: retained as long as your account is active. If you remove an artwork, it will be deleted from our systems, though cached or backup copies may persist for a short period.
• Contest or selection process data: if you participate in any selection or contest, your submission data will be retained until the end of the selection process and for one additional year, after which it will be deleted or anonymized.
• Marketing and analytics data: processed until you object or withdraw consent. If you opt out of tracking or advertising cookies, we will stop using such data for those purposes.

As indicated in our policies, we may store certain data “while the treatment lasts until your opposition” — meaning we will continue to process data for as long as the related activity continues, unless you exercise your right to object, at which point we will cease processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have several rights regarding your personal data under applicable data protection laws. These include:

• Access: you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: you can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Erasure: you can request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances.
• Restriction: you can ask us to limit how we process your data in specific situations.
• Objection: you can object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling for direct marketing.
• Portability: you can request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through the Contacto page. We will respond to your request within the timeframes required by law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe your rights have been violated.

7. Security and Data Transfers

We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect it from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption, access controls, and regular security assessments.

In some cases, your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own, which may have different data protection standards. When we do so, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions, to protect your information.

We believe in transparency and user control. Your trust is earned through clear communication and robust safeguards, and we are committed to protecting your creative identity.

8. Additional Notes on Legacy Technologies

You may occasionally encounter references to older technologies on our site, such as a message about Adobe Flash Player. Please note that Flash is a deprecated technology and is no longer supported by most browsers. We are actively working to remove any legacy components that may have relied on Flash. If you see such a message, it does not affect our privacy practices, but we encourage you to update your browser or contact us if you experience technical difficulties.
