1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information you provide

Artist applications: full name, email address, portfolio and social media links, biography, Solana wallet address, disclosures regarding the use of artificial intelligence, images of submitted artworks and process materials, artwork titles and dates, typed signature, and the date of submission.
Communications: your name, email address, and the content of any message, request, or notice you send to us, including copyright notices and counter-notifications.
Artist profiles: for approved Artists, the name or username, biography, and Artwork that the Artist chooses to display on the Platform.

1.2 Information collected automatically

When you access the Platform, our hosting and infrastructure providers automatically receive certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system information, referring URLs, pages requested, and the date and time of access. This information is collected through standard server logs.

1.3 Wallet and transaction information

When you connect a digital wallet, we receive your public wallet address. When you mint, list, purchase, sell, or claim rewards, we receive information about those transactions, including wallet addresses, token identifiers, prices, and timestamps. We never collect, request, or store your private keys, seed phrase, or recovery phrase.

1.4 Information from other sources

We may obtain information from publicly available sources, including public blockchain records, public social media profiles and portfolios you provide, and the results of image-matching or reverse image search tools used to verify the originality of submitted Artwork.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to: (a) operate, maintain, and provide the Platform; (b) review artist applications, including verifying the originality and authorship of submitted Artwork; (c) display approved Artists’ profiles and Artwork; (d) facilitate minting, listings, sales, royalties, and rewards; (e) communicate with you about your application, transactions, or account, and respond to your requests; (f) detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, stolen or infringing content, double-minting, market manipulation, and other violations of our Terms of Use; (g) enforce our Terms of Use and protect the rights, property, and safety of Gallery, our Artists, our users, and the public; (h) comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests; and (i) improve the Platform. We may create de-identified or aggregated information that does not identify you and use it for any lawful purpose; we will not attempt to re-identify such information except as permitted by law.

3. Public Blockchain Data

Transactions on the Solana blockchain, including wallet addresses, minting, transfers, sales, and reward payments, are recorded on a public, decentralized ledger. This information is visible to anyone, is permanent, and is not controlled by Gallery. We cannot modify, delete, or restrict access to blockchain data. Although a wallet address does not by itself identify a person, it may become linked to your identity through your activity on the Platform, your public profile, or information available elsewhere. Content you make public may also be copied, cached, or displayed by third parties, such as blockchain explorers and marketplaces, and may remain available even after you remove it from the Platform.

4. How We Share Information

We disclose information only as described in this Policy:

Service providers: with vendors that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, form processing, email delivery, and security, which are permitted to use the information only to provide those services to us. Our Platform is currently hosted by Netlify, Inc., which also processes artist application submissions.
Public display: approved Artists’ profiles and Artwork, and public transaction information, are displayed on the Platform and are visible to anyone.
Rights holders: where we determine that submitted or listed Artwork appears to be copied or infringing, we may share relevant information, including the submitting Artist’s name, the Artwork, and related records, with the affected copyright owner or its agent.
Legal and protection: where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or is necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, investigate fraud or infringement, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Gallery, our users, or others.
Business transfers: in connection with any merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy, in which case information may be transferred to the successor, which will be bound by this Policy as to that information.
With your consent: in any other case where you direct or permit us to do so.

5. No Sale of Personal Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own advertising or marketing purposes.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Platform does not currently use advertising, cross-site tracking, or third-party analytics cookies. We may use cookies or local browser storage that are strictly necessary for the Platform to function, such as remembering a connected wallet during a session. The Platform does not respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals. If we introduce analytics or other non-essential technologies in the future, we will update this Policy before doing so.

7. Third-Party Services and Wallets

The Platform may link to or interoperate with third-party websites and services, including digital wallets, the Solana network, marketplaces, and social media platforms. Their collection and use of information is governed by their own privacy policies, not this Policy, and Gallery is not responsible for their practices.

8. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. Application materials from applicants who are not approved are deleted within [RETENTION PERIOD, e.g. twelve (12) months] after our decision, unless retention is needed for a purpose described below. Information about approved Artists is retained for as long as the Artist remains approved or their Artwork remains listed, and for a reasonable period afterward. We may retain information for longer where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or repeat infringement, and enforce our agreements. Blockchain records are permanent and are not subject to deletion.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a security incident affecting your personal information, we will investigate and notify you and any applicable authorities as required by law. You are solely responsible for the security of your digital wallet, devices, and credentials.

10. Your Rights and Choices

Regardless of where you live, you may request to: (a) access the personal information we hold about you; (b) correct inaccurate information; (c) delete your personal information; and (d) stop receiving non-essential communications from us. To make a request, email info@buymoreart.io. To protect your information, we will verify your identity before acting on a request, which may include asking you to confirm control of the email address or wallet associated with the request. We will respond within forty-five (45) days, or tell you if we need more time. If we deny your request, we will explain why, and you may appeal by replying to our decision. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Some information cannot be deleted, including information recorded on the blockchain and information we must retain under Section 8. Residents of certain jurisdictions may have additional rights under applicable law, and we will honor those rights as required.

11. Age Requirement

The Platform is intended only for persons eighteen (18) years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. If we learn that we have collected information from a person under eighteen, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a minor has provided us with information, please contact us.

12. International Users

Gallery is based in the United States, and information is processed and stored in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have data protection laws different from those of your country. By using the Platform, you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on the Platform with a revised effective date and, where practicable, notice through the Platform. Changes apply prospectively from their effective date.
