Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 19, 2026

Applicability

The following Privacy Policy governs the online information collection practices of Art by Innovation (“Art by Innovation”, “we”, “us”, “our”). It outlines the types of information that we gather about you while you are using our website https://www.artbyinnovation.com/ and the ways in which we use this information.

This policy applies to Art by Innovation users who have or will create accounts. We DO NOT share your or their private content or information with prospective customers, members, third parties, or viewers. Members and registered users will have some access to your information via the member profile system. If you have any sensitive information, please make sure you do not enter that information in the publicly viewable profile system. Profiles are viewable by registered users only.

If you get any requests for personal information, or you receive any unwanted solicitation from outside the administration accounts (admin @ or jeff @ artbyinnovation.com), please report it to us. Anyone caught soliciting our members will be removed from our network and their IP address will be blocked. This does not mean reaching out to someone to say hello or to introduce yourself — we encourage our members to talk with each other. We DO NOT monitor private conversations.

We process your credit card data in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations, following industry best practices. We DO NOT have access to your credit card information. Any change you would like to make to your payment information must be made with the merchant tools provided by Stripe, WooCommerce, Google, Apple or PayPal.

Purpose and scope

This Privacy Policy applies to information that we collect online, offline and through other means, such as by telephone or through email.

The Privacy Policy describes the manner in which our organization collects information from all users and viewers of our services. While providing our services on behalf of our registered users, we collect information related to viewers. The use of information collected on behalf of our users is governed primarily by our contract for engagement with them and by the privacy policies governing their organization. We are not accountable for the privacy policies and practices undertaken by our users or by any other third party.

How we collect data about you

We may collect different data from or about you depending on how you use the site.

Data provided by registered users. When you create an account or log in to your account, we collect personal information such as first name, last name, email address and password.

Data provided by non-registered users. When you request to view a pre-existing user’s content, that user may ask for personal information such as an email address in order to open a link. Art by Innovation collects and stores this personal information on behalf of its users. When you provide this personal information, you do so in accordance with that user’s privacy practices and policies. Art by Innovation is not responsible for the privacy practices of its users and only processes this information in accordance with the applicable agreement it has with each user. For any issue pertaining to the processing of such personal information, users can contact us.

Data collected through automated means. System data is technical data about your computer or device, such as device type, operating system and IP address. This data helps us improve the delivery of our web pages and measure traffic on the site. The collection of data will also depend on the individual settings of your device and software. We recommend that you refer to the policies of your device manufacturer or software provider to learn about information they might share with us.

User-generated data. We collect information and material provided to us voluntarily by our users or viewers to publish and process on our platform. User-generated content includes text, photos and videos associated with the accounts or email addresses used to create an account with Art by Innovation or to access links as a viewer.

Data collected from third parties. When you connect existing cloud storage such as Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox or Box, we access your account on your behalf to get information about your files and folders. When you choose to create a Google Drive file link in Art by Innovation, we download the selected files from your Google Drive and store them in our own storage for reliability purposes.

Data collected during transactions. Depending on the type of service requested, Art by Innovation also collects:

the type of service that has been requested;
order details for that request;
payment and transaction information, such as the merchant’s name, payment method, and chargeable amount for the service;
the date and time the service was provided.

For the purpose of promotion codes, the name of the person associated with such a code will also be collected.

Some information is collected through the use of cookies, web beacons and tracking technologies. Please refer to our Cookie Policy for more detail on the types of cookies being used.

Those staff members may be on teams such as marketing, events, development, executive and customer support.

Who we share your data with outside the organization, and why

Processors. We may use service providers and third parties for operating and improving the sites, and to assist with certain functions such as payment processing, email transmission, conducting surveys or contests, data hosting, managing our ads, third-party solutions for marketing and analytics, and some aspects of our technical and customer support. We take measures to ensure that these service providers access, process and store information about you only for the purposes we authorize, through the execution of data processing agreements or addenda.

Authorities. We may access, preserve and disclose information about you to third parties, including the content of messages, if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, applicable law, regulation, legal process or audits. We may also disclose information about you if we believe that your actions are inconsistent with our Terms of Service or related guidelines and policies, or if it is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of the company or others, or to prevent fraud or abuse.

Transfer of business. If we or our assets are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, personal information could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.

Why, and for how long, we store the information we collect from you

We retain certain information collected from you while you are a member of the site, and in certain cases after you have deleted your account, for the following reasons:

so that you can use our sites;
to ensure that we do not communicate with you if you have asked us not to;
to provide you with a refund, if you are entitled to one;
to better understand the traffic to our sites so that we can provide all members with the best possible experience;
to detect and prevent abuse of our sites, illegal activities, and breaches of our Terms of Service;
to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements.

We retain user data for as long as necessary for the purposes described above. This means that we retain different categories of data for different periods of time depending on the type of data, the category of user to whom the data relates, and the purposes for which we collected the data.

Security

We implement a variety of administrative, managerial and technical security measures to help protect your personal information. Our company has various internal control standards which relate specifically to the handling of personal information. These include certain controls to help safeguard the information we collect online. Our employees are trained to understand and comply with these controls, and we communicate our privacy practices and guidelines to our employees. However, while we strive to protect your personal information, you must also take steps to protect your own information. We urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal information while you are on the internet.

Our policy concerning children and their data

Our sites are not directed to children under the age of eighteen, and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children or distribute such information to third parties. We screen users who wish to provide personal information in order to prevent children from providing such information. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personally identifiable information from a child, we will delete that information from our records. If we change our practices in the future, we will obtain prior, verifiable parental consent before collecting any personally identifiable information from children.

Links to other websites

Our sites may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.

Third parties are under no obligation to comply with this Privacy Policy with respect to personal data that you provide directly to them, or that they collect for themselves. We do not control the third-party sites that may be accessible through our services. This Privacy Policy therefore does not apply to information you provide to third-party sites, or that is gathered by the third parties who operate them.

Changes to this policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. If we make any material change to the policy, we will notify you by email, through a notification posted on the services, or as required by applicable law. You can see when the policy was last updated by checking the date at the top of this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective from when they are posted on this page.
