Collector Privacy & Data Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026. Warmthplace recognizes that privacy is an essential tenet of art collecting. We maintain absolute confidentiality regarding collector identities and holdings.
1. Strict Collector Anonymity
Warmthplace never publishes, rents, or discloses the identity of private collectors, their acquisition values, or their residential locations to third parties, media outlets, or marketing agencies. When artworks are published in curatorial monographs, provenance is attributed exclusively as “Private Collection, [City]” unless the collector provides express written instruction otherwise.
2. Information We Collect
To deliver museum-grade services and fulfill fine art logistics, we collect:
- Contact Information: Name, email address, telephone/WhatsApp number, and courier destination.
- Transaction Records: Artworks acquired, certificates of authenticity generated, and invoicing records.
- Curatorial Preferences: Inquiries regarding specific artists, medium preferences, and architectural projects.
3. PCI-DSS Certified Transaction Security
Online card payments are processed via Paystack, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment gateway. Warmthplace does not store or process debit or credit card CVV codes or complete primary account numbers on our servers. All transactions travel over encrypted TLS 1.3 channels.
4. Your Rights under NDPR & International Law
Under the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and corresponding global standards (GDPR), you have the right to request access to your stored personal information, request correction of inaccurate records, or request deletion of your marketing contact details.
To exercise your privacy rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at nkempearl2@gmail.com.
