Who We Are
ArtSloth is an independent digital art publication based in New Delhi, India. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it. We operate in accordance with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 and, where applicable to users based in Europe, the principles of GDPR.
What We Collect
We collect only the information you actively provide to us, which may include your name or alias, email address, location (city and country), Instagram handle or website URL, artist biography and submitted artwork images, and any written correspondence you send us.
We do not collect sensitive personal data. We do not collect payment details directly — all contributions are processed entirely by Razorpay and PayPal, who handle that data under their own privacy policies.
Why We Collect It
We use your information to process and respond to form submissions and enquiries, to send the ArtSloth newsletter and magazine updates to subscribers who have opted in, to consider your work for publication in the magazine or archive, and to improve the platform and understand how it is used.
We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not sell your data. We do not share it with third parties except where strictly necessary to operate the platform, for example, our website is hosted on Wix and contributions are processed via Razorpay and PayPal.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to understand how visitors use the platform, which pages are viewed, and how we can improve the experience. This data is used for statistical analysis only and is not linked to identifiable individuals. You can decline cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect some functionality of the site.
Newsletter and Marketing
If you subscribe to the ArtSloth newsletter, your email address is stored and used solely to send you updates about new releases, open calls, and platform news. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email, or by writing to us at support@artsloth.in. We will never send marketing on behalf of third parties.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from unauthorised access or disclosure. Our platform is hosted on Wix, which maintains its own security infrastructure. We do not store payment information.
Your Rights
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, to ask us to correct inaccurate information, to ask us to delete your data where there is no ongoing reason to retain it, and to withdraw consent for newsletter communications at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@artsloth.in.
Data Retention
We retain submission data for as long as it is relevant to our publishing activity. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. You may request deletion of your data at any time.
