Privacy Policy

Art2Fund respects the privacy of all users of its site and ensures that the personal information you provide to us is treated confidentially. We have taken appropriate technical and organizational measures, including encryption, to protect your personal data against loss or any form of unlawful processing, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our websites are protected by technical measures against damage, destruction, or unauthorized access.

We use your data to ensure the project and orders run as smoothly, quickly, and easily as possible. Additionally, we will only use data with your consent. Art2Fund will not sell your personal information to third parties and will only make it available to third parties involved in executing the project or your order.

Art2Fund uses the collected data to provide the following services to its customers:

• If you participate in Art2Fund as a school, we need the school's information to ensure a smooth project process and to keep the involved teachers and the organization informed about the progress.
• For opening the online store, the child (or the parents) enters the remaining information. The school does not provide any online data about the child's name and class. Participation is entirely voluntary for children (and parents). Children (and parents) decide whether and whom they invite to take a look at the online store. The invitees' information will only be used to inform them about the online store.
• If you place an order in a child's online store, we need your name, email address, delivery address, and payment details to execute your order and to keep you informed about its progress. For processing payments, Art2Fund uses Ingenico (formerly Ogone) as a payment provider, which is GDPR compliant.
• To make shopping at Art2Fund as pleasant as possible, we store your personal data and the details regarding your order and the use of our services with your consent.
• With your consent, we use your data to inform you about the development of the website and about special offers and promotions. If you no longer wish to receive this information, you can let us know by sending an email to info@art2fund.com, or by calling our customer service. Additionally, you can unsubscribe via a link at the bottom of every email you receive from us.
• Data of organizations and customers are stored for a period deemed necessary, primarily for handling complaints, processing reorders, and managing reprints. The specific retention period may vary depending on the nature of the data and legal requirements. After fulfilling the contract, your data will be blocked and deleted in accordance with legal retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data.
• You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you. Additionally, you can request rectification, deletion, or restriction of your personal data at any time. Please contact us at info@art2fund.com for any such requests. You can also withdraw your consent to data processing at any time without giving any reason.
• Data about the use of our site and the feedback we receive from our visitors help us to further develop and improve our site. This data is anonymized wherever possible.
