Privacy Policy
Effective date: 2026-01-30
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, your email address is processed and stored in Resend to deliver the weekly curated website digest.
- 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.
- Session analytics: Microsoft Clarity may be enabled on the production site for usage insights and session replay analysis.
- 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.

Retention
Resend retains newsletter subscription data until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Resend global unsubscribe removes you from all Broadcasts in the current single newsletter stream. 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.
