Overview
Four Star Studio (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website, explore our digital archive, or submit work for exhibition.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, portfolio links, and submission materials (images, bios, project details) when you apply to exhibit work on our platform.
Automated Information
We collect standard usage data, such as the pages you visit, browser type, and device information, collected through cookies and similar essential web technologies to ensure the site functions properly.
How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information to:
- Operate, secure, and improve the digital studio and index.
- Review, curate, and publish approved artist submissions.
- Communicate with artists regarding their exhibitions and feature status.
- Archive approved exhibitions as part of our permanent digital archive.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We only share your data with trusted service providers (such as secure database and web hosting platforms) strictly for the purpose of operating this website. Publicly approved exhibition materials are, by nature, displayed publicly on the site.
Your Rights & Data Retention
Because Four Star Studio operates as an archive, approved exhibition materials are retained indefinitely to preserve the city's artistic history. However, you retain the right to your information. If you wish to update, correct, or request the complete removal of your submitted data or exhibition from our archive, please contact us.
Children's Privacy
Our website and digital archive are intended for a general audience and are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
