Last updated: December 2025
This Privacy Policy describes how carlosarriaga.com ("we", "our", or "the website") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our site. We are committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring that any data collected is handled responsibly and transparently.
1. Information We Collect
a) Basic Usage Data (Non-identifiable)
When you browse our website, certain technical information is automatically collected. This includes:
- Pages visited
- Time spent on the site
- Approximate geographic region (country or city-level, never precise location)
- Device type, browser type, and general system information
- Referring links (how you arrived at the site)
This information does not identify you personally. It serves only to understand how visitors interact with the website.
b) Security and Performance Data
To keep the website fast and secure, our hosting and delivery providers automatically process:
- IP addresses (transient, for security checks and caching)
- Requests made to the server
- Basic error diagnostics
These records are ephemeral, used solely for operational reliability, and are not combined with analytics data.
2. How We Use the Collected Information
a) Visitor Insights
We occasionally review anonymous usage trends - such as number of visits or high-traffic regions - to understand whether the audience for the artist's work is growing and from where people are discovering the website. This helps us improve the presentation of artworks and optimize the viewing experience.
b) Website Performance
Technical data ensures that pages load quickly worldwide and that images, videos, and galleries are delivered optimally.
c) Security
Transient IP and request data are used to:
- Detect unusual traffic
- Prevent malicious activity
- Maintain a stable and safe browsing environment
We do not use this data to track or profile users.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The analytics system uses cookies or similar identifiers to understand aggregated visitor behavior. These cookies do not store personal information and cannot be used to identify individual visitors. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time; the website will continue to function normally.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data. Aggregated and non-identifiable analytics data may be processed by third-party service providers that help us operate the website (analytics, global delivery, security). These providers process data on our behalf and cannot use it for their own purposes.
5. Data Retention
Analytics and operational logs are retained only for as long as necessary to:
- Review overall visitor engagement
- Maintain site security
- Monitor performance issues
We do not maintain long-term personal records of visitors.
6. Links to External Sites
Our website may contain links to external articles, exhibitions, or press mentions. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites.
