Privacy Policy

AIART Publishing™ & Digitograph™ Studio

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

AIART Publishing™ and Digitograph™ Studio (“we,” “our,” or “us”) are committed to protecting the privacy, intellectual property, and personal information of our AI art creators, collectors, gallery partners, and website visitors.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and disclose information when you visit our website, apply as a creator, submit artwork, purchase or inquire about limited-edition works, or otherwise engage with our services.

By accessing or using our website or services, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to operate a professional fine-art publishing, production, and gallery platform.

a. Personal Information

This may include:

• Name, email address, phone number, and mailing address
• Professional biography, profile image, and portfolio materials (for AI creators)
• Billing and shipping information (for collectors and buyers)
• Communication records, including emails, inquiries, and submissions

b. Artwork & Creative Data

When creators submit AI-generated artworks to AIART Publishing™ or Digitograph™ Studio, we may receive:

• Digital image files
• Metadata associated with the artwork
• Descriptive information supplied by the creator

Copyright and ownership of the original submitted digital artwork remain with the creator at all times, unless otherwise defined in a separate written publishing, production, or exhibition agreement signed by both parties.

c. Website Usage Information

We may collect limited technical data such as:

• IP address
• Browser type and device information
• Pages visited and general site interaction data

This information is used solely for internal analytics, website functionality, and user-experience improvement.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information for the following purposes:

• Evaluating creator submissions and managing publishing, exhibition, and Digitograph™ production workflows
• Communicating with creators, collectors, galleries, and institutional partners
• Processing orders, payments, shipping, and Certificates of Authenticity
• Maintaining archival records of limited editions and authenticated works
• Sending newsletters or announcements only if you opt in
• Protecting artistic integrity, provenance, and edition control

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties.

3. Confidentiality & Artwork Protection

We recognize the sensitivity of AI-generated artworks and digital creative assets.

Many AI-generated image files submitted by creators—particularly files under 5 MB—are not suitable for large-format Digitograph™ edition production. In such cases, Digitograph™ Studio may perform professional editing, reconstruction, rendering, and preparation to achieve museum-quality physical editions.

Depending on the production arrangement, the following policies apply:

1. Creator-Paid Production Services
   If the creator commissions and pays for Digitograph™ Studio production services in advance, all final edited files and physical Digitograph™ editions remain the intellectual property of the creator, subject to the agreed publishing terms. Revenue from editions sold through AIART Publishing™ is typically shared on a 50% / 50% basis, unless otherwise specified in writing.
2. Publisher-Funded Production
   If production services are not prepaid by the creator, AIART Publishing™ and Digitograph™ Studio may retain publishing and sales rights for the Digitograph™ editions. In such cases, the creator receives commission payments based on sales, as defined in a signed publishing or commission agreement executed before production or public release.
3. Confidential Handling
   Submitted artworks are treated as confidential. High-resolution or production-ready files are not publicly displayed without creator authorization, except where the creator has already published the image publicly.
4. Secure Storage
   High-resolution master files are stored securely and used only for approved production, publishing, archival, or authentication purposes.
5. Limited Online Display
   We intentionally limit online image resolution and availability to reduce unauthorized copying, scraping, or misuse.
6. Protected Archives
   Digitograph™ production files, edition records, and authentication documentation are maintained as protected internal archives.

4. Sharing of Information

We may share limited information only when necessary:

• With trusted service providers (printing, fulfillment, certification) under confidentiality obligations
• When required by law, court order, or legal process
• With galleries, museums, or institutions only with creator or collector consent

We do not authorize third parties to reproduce, resell, or distribute submitted artworks without proper written agreements.

5. Data Security

AIART Publishing™ and Digitograph™ Studio employ reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal data and creative assets, including:

• Secure handling of artwork submissions
• Controlled access to master production files
• Internal edition tracking and authentication systems

While no system can guarantee absolute security, we follow industry-appropriate practices to minimize risk.

6. Your Rights & Choices

You may:

• Request access to your personal information
• Request corrections or updates
• Withdraw consent for marketing communications
• Request removal of your data, subject to contractual, legal, and archival obligations

Our website may use basic cookies or analytics tools to understand site usage and improve performance. These tools do not collect sensitive personal or financial information.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings if you prefer.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our services are intended for professional artists, collectors, and institutions. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18.
