Privacy Policy

Refs.Gallery (“we”, “us”) respects your privacy. If you have questions or requests, contact us at info@refs.gallery.

What we collect#

• Newsletter email — when you subscribe, we store your email address to deliver the newsletter.
• Usage and diagnostics data — pages viewed, approximate device/browser info, performance metrics, and error reports.
• Basic request metadata — IP address and standard headers may be processed for security, abuse prevention (rate limiting), and reliable delivery.

Why we collect it#

• To send the newsletter and service communications you requested.
• To operate, secure, and improve the website (performance, reliability, and abuse prevention).
• To understand aggregate usage (e.g., which pages are popular) and prioritize improvements.

Legal basis#

Where applicable (e.g., GDPR), we process newsletter emails based on your consent, and we process security/performance data based on our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the service.

Service providers#

We use third‑party providers to run and improve the service:

• Hosting / CDN: the site is hosted on infrastructure such as Vercel (server logs and request metadata may be processed for delivery and security).
• Content backend: subscription emails are stored in our content backend (Sanity).
• Analytics: we may use privacy‑focused analytics (e.g., Vercel Analytics) to understand aggregate usage.
• Error monitoring: we use Sentry to diagnose errors and improve reliability.
• Tag management: Google Tag Manager may be enabled on the production site.

Cookies and similar technologies#

We may use cookies or similar technologies for basic functionality, analytics, and performance measurement. Some of these are set by third‑party services listed above.

Learn more in our Cookie Policy.

Retention#

We retain newsletter subscription data until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Operational logs and analytics are retained for a limited period depending on provider settings.

Your rights#

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, and to object to certain processing.

International transfers#

Our providers may process data in different countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards offered by those providers.
