danabek.art collects only what is needed to answer your inquiry and sell a painting. This page explains what data that is, why, where it is kept and how to have it deleted.
1. Who handles your data
The artist Dana Bek, a registered sole proprietor in Ukraine. Questions about your data: bohdana.bek@gmail.com · Telegram @bek_dana.
2. What is collected and why
Inquiry forms (asking about a painting and requesting a commission): your name, the contact you give (phone, e-mail, Telegram…), your message, the page language and the work you asked about. Why: to reply to you and, if you decide to buy, to complete the purchase. Legal basis: your request and our contract (GDPR art. 6(1)(b); Ukrainian Law on Personal Data Protection).
Technical server logs. When something goes wrong, the server records technical details (time, page address, error description). Why: security and fixing errors. Legal basis: legitimate interest in keeping the site working.
The site uses no analytics, advertising trackers or advertising cookies, and data is never sold or shared for advertising.
3. Where data is kept and who sees it
- Inquiries are stored in a secured database on Amazon Web Services servers in the EU (Frankfurt). The site and its server logs run there too.
- The artist is notified of a new inquiry by e-mail, sent by Amazon SES (EU) to a Gmail (Google) mailbox. Google may process data outside the EU under the safeguards the GDPR provides for.
- Only the artist and her assistant who maintains the site can see inquiries.
4. How long
- Inquiries and correspondence — up to 3 years after our last message (after-sale questions, records), or sooner if you ask me to delete them.
- Technical server logs — 14 days, then deleted automatically.
5. Your rights
You can ask what data I hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to its processing, and receive it in a machine-readable format. Write to bohdana.bek@gmail.com — I reply within 30 days.
You may also complain to the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights or, in the EU, to your country's data protection authority.
6. What is stored in your browser
The site sets no cookies for visitors. Your browser's storage (localStorage) keeps only two preferences: light or dark theme, and the price currency. They are never sent anywhere and you can clear them in your browser settings. (A cookie is used only for the artist's sign-in to the admin panel.)
Links to Instagram and Telegram open those services, where their own rules apply.
7. Changes
If the way the site handles data changes, I will update this page and the date at the top. Purchase terms are in the Terms of sale.
