Data security

The data is hosted by the following hosts:

All communications between your browser and our servers use the HTTPS protocol which encrypts data before it travels over the network. In addition, passwords are not stored in clear in our database but are encrypted using the latest password security technologies. Finally, communications between our various servers take place on a private network which is not accessible from the outside.

Advertising

ARTKOFA does not offer advertising linked to the profile but only to the context of the pages consulted: the promotion areas display sponsored works, they appear on the home page or inside the site and can display, for example, works of the type “sculpture” if you visit the sculpture page, or painting, if you visit the painting page.

When we do not have any advertising to display, we may use external service providers, such as Google Ad Exchange, which displays advertising generally based on your profile. You can view the details of Google’s GDPR compliance on the following page: https://business.safety.google/intl/fr_fr/compliance/

Finally, some advertiser clients use advertising management platforms external to ARTKOFA. In this case, we do not program a banner, but a “tag”, ie an HTML code, which dynamically calls up the client’s advertisements. In this case, the customer has access to basic connection data (IP address for example), but NEVER to the data of ARTKOFA members. The advertiser may also have access to information about you independently of ARTKOFA (for example if you have data related to Google, Facebook, or retargeting sites and there is an agreement between these companies and the advertiser, this can have access to certain common data shared by Google, Facebook etc … To oppose it, you must manage the access rights with these platforms.

Other third parties

Other third parties may also intervene on the platform as follows:

  • Share buttons (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc …) on most pages, which, when you are connected to these platforms and surfing on ARTKOFA, will store personal information according to their own rules.
  • Google Analytics, to better understand our audience, the information is however anonymous (anonymized IP).
  • As with most online communities, our moderators have restricted access to member data, including the account email address, the date and time of the last connections to the site with IP address, the history of moderated content or deleted and moderation history. Moderators do not have access to private messaging.
