Privacy Notice

Information we collect

Information you provide

When you use certain CollectRight features, we may collect information you provide directly, including:

• your email address;
• your ZIP code;
• artwork listing URLs submitted for Artwork Research;
• information you submit in connection with a research request;
• communications you send to CollectRight or Khabraal;
• consent and communication preferences.

If you use Artwork Research, we may also associate your research history with your verified user identity so that your reports can remain available to you.

Authentication and access information

We may collect information needed to verify and maintain access to protected features, including:

• account or user identifiers;
• email-verification status;
• authentication and session records;
• timestamps relating to access or verification;
• security and abuse-prevention information.

We use passwordless or similar authentication methods where implemented.

Usage and technical information

When you visit CollectRight, we and our service providers may automatically receive technical and usage information such as:

• pages viewed;
• features used;
• links or sources opened;
• general referral information;
• browser and device information;
• approximate geographic information derived from technical signals;
• error and performance data;
• interactions with site features.

Where possible, analytics data is kept separate from directly identifying information such as your email address.

Why we collect information

We use personal information to:

• provide and operate CollectRight;
• provide Artwork Research and maintain access to research reports;
• verify email addresses and user access;
• validate U.S. ZIP codes;
• prevent spam, disposable-email abuse, automated misuse, and fraud;
• maintain the security and reliability of the service;
• respond to questions or requests;
• understand how CollectRight is used;
• improve content, tools, navigation, and product features;
• maintain records of consent and communication preferences;
• communicate with you about CollectRight, Khabraal, collecting, Artwork Research, and related services when you have consented to receive those communications;
• comply with legal obligations and enforce applicable terms.

We do not use Artwork Research to provide an appraisal, authentication opinion, investment recommendation, brokerage service, or financial advice.

Artwork Research

Artwork Research may use information you submit together with publicly available information from artist websites, galleries, marketplaces, auction platforms, institutions, press sources, public databases, and other relevant sources.

Submitted artwork URLs and resulting research may be associated with your verified user identity so that you can access your research history.

CollectRight may use automated systems, including AI-assisted research tools, as part of this process. Public sources, first-party claims, and independent records are treated according to the research methodology described elsewhere on the site.

We do not sell your individual research history to artists, galleries, dealers, marketplaces, or other sellers.

Email and communications

Artwork Research may require email verification for access.

Operational messages may include:

• verification links or codes;
• security or access messages;
• research-related notifications;
• service notices.

If you separately consent to marketing or informational communications, CollectRight or Khabraal may also contact you about:

• CollectRight features;
• collecting information and resources;
• Artwork Research;
• Khabraal;
• related services or opportunities.

You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe link provided in those messages.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not necessarily prevent us from sending operational or security messages needed to provide a service you requested.

ZIP code information

CollectRight may require a U.S. ZIP code to use certain features.

We may use ZIP information to:

• confirm that a user is within the geographic area currently supported by the product;
• provide or develop geographically relevant information;
• understand broad geographic patterns in product use;
• improve services and outreach.

We do not use ZIP code alone to determine whether someone can afford artwork or to deny access based on the perceived economic value of a location.

Service providers

We use third-party service providers to operate CollectRight. Depending on the feature being used, these providers may process limited information on our behalf.

These categories may include:

• website hosting and infrastructure;
• authentication and database services;
• email delivery;
• email validation;
• analytics and product-performance services;
• error monitoring;
• image and media providers;
• research and search infrastructure.

These providers receive information only as reasonably necessary to provide their services to us and are subject to their own contractual and legal obligations.

The specific providers used by CollectRight may change as the service evolves.

Analytics

CollectRight may use analytics tools to understand how people use the site and where the product can be improved.

We may measure events such as:

• page visits;
• article engagement;
• searches;
• Artwork Research entry and completion;
• source interactions;
• feature usage;
• errors and performance.

We aim not to send raw email addresses, submitted ZIP codes, private research contents, or other unnecessarily identifying information into analytics systems.

Cookies and similar technologies

CollectRight may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies for purposes such as:

• maintaining authentication;
• preserving session state;
• remembering verified access;
• security and abuse prevention;
• analytics;
• storing user preferences.

Where legally required, additional controls or notices may be provided for optional technologies.

How we share information

We may share personal information:

• with service providers that operate CollectRight on our behalf;
• within Khabraal where necessary to operate CollectRight and communicate with users as described in this notice;
• when required by law, legal process, or valid governmental request;
• when reasonably necessary to protect CollectRight, Khabraal, our users, or others from fraud, abuse, security threats, or unlawful conduct;
• in connection with a business restructuring, acquisition, financing, or transfer, subject to applicable law.

We do not sell personal information for money.

We do not accept payment from artists or sellers in exchange for access to individual Artwork Research user data or favorable research findings.

Public information and submitted links

Artwork Research is built in part from information available on the public web.

A public webpage may contain information about artists, sellers, galleries, artworks, prices, exhibitions, or transactions. CollectRight may process and summarize that information in response to a user request.

Submitting a public URL to CollectRight does not make the contents of that webpage private.

However, your identity as the person who submitted a particular research request is treated separately from the public source itself.

Data retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this notice, including:

• maintaining user access and research history;
• providing requested services;
• preventing abuse;
• keeping consent and unsubscribe records;
• maintaining security;
• complying with legal obligations;
• resolving disputes.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected.

We may retain limited records after deletion where reasonably necessary for security, legal compliance, fraud prevention, or honoring communication preferences.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information.

No website, database, or transmission system can guarantee absolute security.

Users should avoid submitting sensitive personal information that CollectRight does not request.

Your choices

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information.

These may include rights to:

• know or access information collected about you;
• correct inaccurate information;
• request deletion;
• obtain information about how personal information is used or shared;
• opt out of certain uses or disclosures where applicable;
• withdraw marketing consent or unsubscribe from promotional email;
• exercise applicable privacy rights without unlawful discrimination.

To make a privacy request, contact us using the method listed below. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests in order to protect your information from unauthorized access or deletion.

California residents

If the California Consumer Privacy Act applies to CollectRight or Khabraal in connection with your information, California residents may have additional rights under that law, including access, deletion, correction, applicable opt-out rights, and non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights. The California Attorney General provides additional information about these rights.

Our notice at collection identifies the categories of personal information we collect and the purposes for which they are used.

CollectRight does not currently sell personal information for monetary consideration.

If our practices change in a manner that creates additional opt-out rights, we will update this notice and provide the required controls.

Children

CollectRight is intended for adults interested in buying, owning, researching, or learning about original art.

We do not knowingly design Artwork Research for children or knowingly collect personal information from children for that purpose.

Changes to this notice

We may update this Privacy Notice as CollectRight changes.

When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and provide additional notice where appropriate.

The current version of the Privacy Notice will remain available on CollectRight.
