At ANTINPIXEL, accessible from artinpixel.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by ANTINPIXEL and how we use it.

We have written this document in plain language because privacy should be understood, not obscured. If any part of it is unclear, please write to us directly — every message is read by a member of the studio, not by an automated system.

1. Local Storage Usage

This website utilizes client-side LocalStorage exclusively to maintain newsletter subscription states (ANTINPIXEL_newsletter_emails). No personal tracking cookies or cross-site telemetry tools are active.

LocalStorage works differently from traditional cookies. It stores data directly in your own browser rather than sending it back and forth with every request. This means the information never leaves your device, is not readable by any third-party script, and cannot be accessed by our team at any point.

The specific data we store locally is limited to:

• Newsletter state: Remembers whether you have subscribed or unsubscribed, so we do not ask twice.
• Portfolio filters: Recalls your last viewed category on the archive pages.
• Lightbox position: Temporarily retains image index during a single browsing session.

We do not deploy advertising cookies, cross-site tracking pixels, fingerprinting technology, or third-party analytics anywhere on this site.

2. Client Data Security

Any email submitted via our newsletter or inquiry forms remains stored locally within your browser context or submitted strictly for direct communication purposes without secondary third-party distribution.

Contact form submissions — when you reach out about a commission, collaboration, or licensing request — are transmitted directly to our studio email and retained only for the duration required to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact submissions to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

Identity documents or payment information provided for a confirmed commission are encrypted at rest, accessible only to the studio director, and deleted within thirty days of project completion.

3. How We Use Your Information

Information you voluntarily provide is used exclusively for the purpose you provided it. We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your information with any third party, ever — regardless of commercial offer.

• Responding to inquiries about commissions, collaborations, or licensing.
• Sending occasional studio dispatches if you have actively subscribed.
• Managing project logistics for confirmed commissions only.
• Complying with legal obligations, where applicable.

4. Third-Party Services

Some pages on this site may include embedded content from external platforms — for example, an Instagram post or a Vimeo video. When you view or interact with such content, the respective platform may set its own cookies on your device.

We have no control over these third-party cookies and cannot read them. We recommend reviewing the relevant platform's privacy policy if you would like to understand what they store. The platforms most likely to appear on our pages are Instagram, Vimeo, and YouTube.

5. Your Data Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have specific rights regarding your personal data. These rights may include:

• Right of Access: Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data.
• Right to Data Portability: Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to Object: Object to certain types of data processing.

Because most data is stored locally in your browser, you can exercise many of these rights directly through your browser settings without needing to contact us. For any data held on our own systems, requests are processed within thirty days.

6. Data Retention

Newsletter subscription data is retained until you unsubscribe. Inquiry submissions are retained for twelve months unless you request earlier deletion. Commission-related documentation is retained for a period required by tax and legal regulation, then securely deleted.

7. Children's Privacy

ANTINPIXEL does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take immediate steps to delete it.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last Revised" date at the top of this page.

Continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

9. Contact Information

For questions regarding data privacy or to request information deletion, contact our studio desk at hello@artinpixel.com.

All privacy-related inquiries will be acknowledged within five working days and resolved within thirty days, in accordance with applicable data protection regulations.

By accessing this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions of Use, all applicable laws and regulations, and agree that you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws.

These terms are written in plain language because the culture of this studio depends on clarity, not legalism. If any part is unclear, please write to us directly.

1. Intellectual Property Rights

All photographs, creative compositions, photographic prints, layout designs, and art directions rendered on ANTINPIXEL are the exclusive intellectual property of ANTINPIXEL Studio unless otherwise credited.

This protection extends to all published material — including long-form essays, field notes, portfolio images, series titles, written descriptions, the design of every page on this site, and the studio's own logotype and visual identity.

Short excerpts may be quoted for review, commentary, or educational citation with attribution and a link back to the original page. Full reproductions, reprints, or commercial reuse of any material require prior written consent from the studio.

2. Usage License

Permission is granted to temporarily view digital content for personal, non-commercial media navigation only. Reproduction, duplication, or re-publishing of photographic works without explicit written consent is strictly prohibited.

This license does not include:

• Downloading or storing images for redistribution.
• Using any image in a commercial context — advertising, packaging, brand campaigns — without a written license.
• Modifying, compositing, or creating derivative works from any image in the archive.
• Systematic scraping or bulk-downloading of portfolio content.
• Using the studio's images, name, or logotype in any AI training dataset.

3. Licensing & Commercial Use

Editorial and commercial licensing of any image in the ANTINPIXEL archive is available by written agreement. Rates are calculated based on scope, territory, duration, and exclusivity.

Not all images in the archive are available for commercial use. Client commissions, in particular, are typically licensed only to the original client and remain outside the studio's licensing catalogue unless otherwise agreed in advance.

For all licensing inquiries, contact licensing@artinpixel.com.

4. Commissions & Client Agreements

Every commission is governed by a separate written agreement outlining scope, deliverables, timeline, and payment terms. The general terms below apply to all studio commissions unless a specific agreement overrides them.

• Timeline: The studio does not accept rush commissions. Projects typically run between three and six weeks.
• Deposits: A non-refundable deposit is required before work begins. The balance is due on delivery.
• Cancellations: Cancellations within seven days of the scheduled session may forfeit the deposit.
• Rights: The studio retains copyright unless otherwise assigned in writing. Clients receive a usage license appropriate to their brief.

5. Site Conduct

You agree not to disrupt the operation of this website, attempt unauthorized access to any part of its systems, or use automated tools to scrape, mirror, or replicate its content.

Any attempt to compromise the security or integrity of the site will result in immediate blocking of access and, where applicable, legal action.

6. Disclaimer

This website and its contents are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, either express or implied. ANTINPIXEL makes no warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information published on this site.

Photographic and editorial content reflects the studio's own understanding at the time of publication. Where information becomes outdated, corrections are appended to the original material rather than quietly rewritten.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ANTINPIXEL shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this website or reliance on any information published on it.

This limitation applies to all claims regardless of legal theory, including breach of contract, tort, negligence, or strict liability, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

8. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which ANTINPIXEL Studio is established. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction, without prejudice to any additional protections provided by local consumer law.

Before initiating formal legal proceedings, we encourage visitors to contact us directly to resolve any concerns through informal discussion.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms and Conditions at any time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last Revised" date at the top of this page.

Continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
