5. COOKIES AND ANALYTICS

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to function properly, remember preferences, understand website traffic, and evaluate how visitors use the site.

Squarespace uses certain cookies to operate websites and may use additional analytics or performance cookies depending on the site owner’s settings.

You may be able to manage non-essential cookies through the cookie banner on our website or through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the website function.

6. SERVICE PROVIDER

We may use outside service providers to operate the website, manage email communications, process forms or registrations, analyze website activity, accept donations, or provide other services.

These providers may process information only as necessary to provide their services and are governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

7. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

We may share information with service providers that help us operate Frame 1A and its website.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with a law, court order, subpoena, or valid legal request.

  • Protect the rights, safety, or property of Frame 1A, our visitors, participating artists, or others.

  • Investigate misuse, security concerns, or technical problems.

We do not share personal information with third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

8. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including correspondence, registration administration, recordkeeping, security, and legal obligations.

Mailing-list information may be retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.

Registration and contact-form information may be retained for administrative and correspondence purposes unless deletion is requested or continued retention is required by law.

9. SECURITY

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

Squarespace domains that are correctly connected to a Squarespace website are protected with SSL certificates, which help secure information transmitted between a visitor’s browser and the website.

No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You have the right to:

  • Ask what personal information we have about you.

  • Correct or update your information.

  • Request deletion of your information.

  • Unsubscribe from email communications.

  • Ask questions about how your information is used.

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may have additional rights concerning access, correction, deletion, and the sale or sharing of personal information. California law provides these rights to consumers when the business and information involved are covered by the California Consumer Privacy Act.

To submit a request, email: frame1agallery@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

11. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Frame 1A’s website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without appropriate permission. If we learn that such information has been collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

The federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule applies to online services directed to children under 13 and to certain services that knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

12. LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

Our website may contain links to social-media platforms, artists’ websites, mapping services, donation platforms, and other third-party websites.

Frame 1A does not control these websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices, security, or content. Visiting an external website is subject to that website’s own policies.
