Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Art They Feared LLC handles personal information through the website at www.afeaki.mom and through the gallery systems, collection platform, and catalogue services described on this site. The website and its associated services are developed and operated by the developer Afeaki on behalf of Art They Feared LLC, a company registered at 261 Wallace Way, Tooele - 84074-1321, United States (US). Please read this policy carefully. By browsing this website or using our services, you acknowledge and accept the practices set out below. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of every visitor, collector, institution, and client who engages with us.

Last updated and effective as of January 1, 2026 for all users of this website.

1. Who We Are and Who Operates This Website

Art They Feared LLC is a systems design and related services company focused on computer systems design and integrated display technologies for galleries, museums, and private collections. Our principal place of business is at 261 Wallace Way, Tooele - 84074-1321, United States (US). The developer Afeaki is the individual responsible for the design, development, and ongoing operation of this website and the technologies it describes. In this Privacy Policy, the terms we, us, and our refer to Art They Feared LLC, and the term developer refers to Afeaki. Where we reference the site or the services, we are describing the pages hosted under the domain afeaki.mom together with any related communications we provide.

2. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This policy applies to personal information we receive through this website, through messages you send to our contact email address dispatch@afeaki.mom, through telephone calls to +17866363697, and through any project enquiries, consultations, or service requests you make with us. It does not apply to third-party websites that may be linked from our pages, to services operated by other organisations, or to any offline practices that are governed by separate agreements. When you visit any third-party resource, you should review its own privacy policy before sharing personal information with that third party.

3. Information We Collect

We collect only the information that is reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiries, to provide our services, and to operate this website safely. The categories of information we may collect include the following.

• Contact Information: your name, your email address, your telephone number, and your postal address when you provide them through a form, an email, or a telephone call.
• Enquiry Content: the subject and body of any message you send us, together with any files or attachments you choose to include.
• Usage Information: technical data such as your browser type, device type, operating system, approximate geographic region, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you view on this website.
• Project Information: institutional details, collection descriptions, site measurements, and scheduling preferences you share with us during a consultation or project.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of personal information, and we ask you not to send us sensitive data such as financial account numbers, government identifiers, or health records through this website unless we have agreed to receive them for a specific project purpose.

4. How We Collect Information

Information reaches us through a number of ordinary channels. When you fill out the contact form on our site and send a message, your details are handled by your own email application and transmitted to dispatch@afeaki.mom. When you telephone +17866363697, we may take notes on the conversation with your consent. When you email us directly, the content of that correspondence is collected. In addition, our website hosting and essential technical services may automatically record standard server logs and similar usage metadata, which help us understand how the site is performing and whether it is reachable for visitors.

5. Information You Provide Voluntarily

We treat anything you write to us as voluntary information shared in good faith for the purpose of an enquiry or a project. You are never required to provide more than the minimum needed to receive a helpful reply. In particular, you may decline to share project measurements, institutional names, or scheduling preferences if you are not yet ready. Any information you volunteer becomes part of the correspondence record we maintain to serve you, and it is handled in line with the controls described later in this policy, including your right to request its correction or deletion where applicable.

When you send a message through our contact form, we do not store your enquiry on any hidden database that could be accessed without your knowledge. Instead, the transmission reaches our private mail service operated for dispatch@afeaki.mom, where a member of our team reviews it and responds to you directly. This deliberate approach means that the personal details you share remain visible only to the people who need them to help you, and it supports the broader principle that you should always know exactly how and where your information is being kept.

6. Information We Collect Automatically

Like most responsible website operators, we rely on technical systems that record limited usage data. These automatic records typically include your internet protocol address, the referring webpage, the browser and operating system you used, the date and time of each request, and which pages you requested. We use this technical information to keep the website stable, to diagnose faults, to defend against malicious requests, and to understand broad patterns of visitor traffic. We do not use this data to build advertising profiles about you, and we do not sell automatic usage records to any third party.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website is intentionally light on tracking. We may use strictly necessary technical mechanisms that allow the site to load correctly and to remember simple, non-identifying preferences during a single browsing session. We do not deploy third-party advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or behavioural advertising networks in connection with this website. Where a browser storage mechanism is used, it is limited to what is required for the site to function. You can configure your browser to block or clear these mechanisms, and doing so should not prevent the core content of this website from being displayed to you.

8. How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information we collect for clear and limited purposes. First, we respond to enquiries you send about our services and about project possibilities. Second, we provide, support, and improve the gallery systems and catalogue services we describe on this site. Third, we schedule consultations, prepare proposals, and manage project workflows. Fourth, we maintain security and prevent misuse of the website or ourcommunications. Fifth, we honour legal, accounting, and regulatory obligations that apply to Art They Feared LLC as a United States business. We do not use your information for purposes that are incompatible with these stated purposes unless we first obtain your consent.

Whenever we use your information, we do so with care and proportion. For example, when you ask about a custom catalogue for a private collection, we may use the details you share to prepare a tailored illustration of the fields and workflow that would suit you. We will not use that same material to market unrelated products or to describe your collection to other clients. Keeping a firm line between helpful service and unwelcome use is a principle we apply consistently across every enquiry and every completed project we support.

9. Lawful Bases and Legal Foundations

We process personal information on one or more lawful foundations depending on the situation. Where you initiate an enquiry, we process your data because it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering a possible contract for services. Where we have an active engagement, processing is necessary to perform that contract. Where we secure our website and records, processing is necessary for our legitimate interest in running a trustworthy business. Where a specific request or marketing note requires consent, we seek that consent clearly and honour your right to withdraw it at any time. Our processing in the United States is designed to be consistent with applicable federal and state law.

10. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only in limited circumstances. We may share necessary details with trusted service providers who help us operate our website, manage correspondence, or provide technical infrastructure, and those providers are bound to keep your information confidential and to use it only for the services we request. We may disclose information where we are legally required to do so by a court order, a lawful request from a public authority, or an applicable regulation. We may also disclose limited information in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or similar business event, provided the receiving entity agrees to honour reasonable confidentiality commitments.

11. Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information only for as long as it is needed to fulfil the purposes described in this policy or to satisfy legal obligations. General correspondence is typically kept for a reasonable period so that we can follow up on enquiries and maintain continuity for returning clients. Project records may be retained for the duration of an engagement and for a practical period afterwards to support warranties, regulatory duties, or audit expectations. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or render it anonymous through secure measures rather than keeping it indefinitely.

12. Security of Your Information

Protecting your information matters to us. We apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that are reasonable given the nature and sensitivity of the data we hold. These safeguards include secure storage of correspondence, restricted access on a need-to-know basis, and sensible defaults when handling website data. No method of transmission over the internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure, so while we work hard to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You can help by protecting your own email account and by not sharing confidential material unless you are comfortable doing so.

13. Children and Minors

This website and the services of Art They Feared LLC are directed to adults and to organisations acting on behalf of professional and institutional interests. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us through this website, please contact us at dispatch@afeaki.mom so that we can review the matter and take appropriate steps to delete the information where required. We encourage parents and guardians to supervise the online activity of young people and to speak with us directly if they have any concern.

14. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and the laws that apply to you, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include the right to access the information we hold about you, the right to request correction of inaccurate data, the right to request deletion of information we no longer need, the right to ask us to restrict certain processing, and the right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests. You also have the right to withdraw any consent you previously gave us, without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the withdrawal.

15. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights described above, or to ask a question about how your information is handled, please contact us using the details at the end of this policy. We will respond to reasonable requests within a timely manner and will work with you to resolve concerns. Before we respond to certain requests, we may ask you to verify your identity so that we can protect your data from unauthorised access. We do not charge a fee for a straightforward request, though we may decline requests that are excessive, repetitive, or unfounded under applicable law. We will never discriminate against you because you chose to exercise a privacy right.

16. International Transfers

Your personal information may be processed in the United States, where Art They Feared LLC is established, and may occasionally be handled by service providers located in other countries. When information is transferred to another location, we take reasonable steps to apply protections that are consistent with this policy and with applicable law. By sending an enquiry through our website or by entering a services agreement with us, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred and processed in this way while we carry out the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

17. Links to Other Sites

Our website may contain links to websites or online services operated by third parties for your convenience or reference. This Privacy Policy applies only to pages we control under the afeaki.mom domain. When you leave our website through an external link, you become subject to the privacy practices of that third party. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any external website before you share personal information with it, because we are not responsible for the content or the practices of those external resources.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, in the law, or in the technology we use. When we make a material change, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page and highlight the updated terms so they are easy to locate. Continued use of this website or our services after a change takes effect indicates that you accept the revised policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically so that you remain informed about how we protect your personal information.

19. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

We hope that any question regarding privacy can be resolved through friendly correspondence. This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Utah and the federal laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles, except where a different law is mandated by the location of a particular user. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it will be handled in the appropriate courts of Utah, subject to applicable law and the rights of any user who is protected by a mandatory consumer protection statute in their own jurisdiction.
