This policy explains what information bertaart.com (the website of artist Clara Berta, Laguna Beach, California) collects, why, and the choices you have. We keep it short and plain on purpose.
Information you give us
If you fill in a contact form, request a commission, ask about a painting, or request a tear sheet, you share your name, email address and the details of your message. If you click an “Enquire” or “Request Tear Sheet” button, your email program opens a message to clara@claraberta.com, and what you send is up to you.
We use this information only to reply to you and to carry out the work you ask about, such as a quote for a commissioned painting or a tear sheet for a client project.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, this site records basic visit information such as pages viewed, device and browser type, approximate location and how you arrived. We use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for this. They use cookies to help us understand which pages are useful and to improve the site. The information is used in aggregate and does not identify you personally.
Third-party services
The site uses a few outside services that may receive your IP address or technical details when a page loads: Google (Analytics, Tag Manager, Fonts and Maps), our web host, and our email delivery service. These services have their own privacy policies.
We do not sell your information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with the service providers above, as needed to run the site and answer your messages, or if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
We keep messages and inquiry details for as long as needed to respond and to manage any commission or sale, and for ordinary business and tax records. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. You can also ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you. California residents have additional rights under California privacy law, and we will honor those requests.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page.
