Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 24, 2024
Welcome to the Sattya Media Arts Collective website. We exist to foster creativity, community, and collaboration. Part of building a healthy community is respecting the boundaries and privacy of our members. This document outlines exactly what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it.
By interacting with our platform, attending our events, or subscribing to our communications, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you don't agree, that's okay, but it might limit how we can interact.
Information We Collect
We aim to collect only what is strictly necessary to run our operations and keep you informed. We gather two primary types of data:
A. Information You Provide Directly
When you sign up for our newsletter, register for a workshop, submit an event to our calendar, or rent space at our facility, you voluntarily provide us with personal details. This typically includes your name, email address, phone number, and any specific details relevant to your request.
B. Automated Information Collection
When you visit our website, our servers automatically record basic, non-identifying information. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and how you navigate through our site. We use standard tools like cookies to analyze traffic patterns. This data is aggregated and not linked to individual profiles.
How We Use Your Data
Your data is the fuel that helps us organize events, communicate updates, and sustain the collective. Here is exactly what we do with it:
- →
Communication: To send you newsletters, event announcements, and responses to your inquiries.
- →
Operations: To process workshop registrations, manage space bookings, and facilitate community programs.
- →
Improvement: To analyze website usage trends and improve the functionality and design of our digital presence.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Our community is not a commodity.
Data Protection & Storage
We implement standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
Your Rights
You have agency over your digital footprint with us. At any time, you may exercise the following rights:
Access & Correction
You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and ask us to correct any inaccuracies.
Erasure
You can request that we delete your personal information from our active databases (right to be forgotten).
Opt-Out
You can easily unsubscribe from our marketing and community emails by clicking the link at the bottom of any message.
Cookie Control
You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies.
Contact Us
If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please reach out. We are run by real humans who care about your concerns.
