Last updated: September 1, 2026

SculptPedia ("SculptPedia", "we", "us", or "our") is an open digital encyclopedia and database dedicated to sculpture and three-dimensional art from around the world.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit sculptpedia.com, how that information is used, and the choices available to you.

If you contact us through our Contact page, we may collect the information you choose to provide, including:

This information is used solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry, handling editorial matters, receiving corrections or suggestions, and communicating with you when necessary.

Like most websites, SculptPedia may automatically receive limited technical information when you visit the site. This may include information such as:

  • device and operating system information;
  • referring website or page;
  • pages visited on SculptPedia;
  • date and time of access;

  • process editorial suggestions, corrections, and submissions;
  • protect the website against spam, abuse, fraud, and unauthorized activity;

  • comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not use contact information submitted through the Contact form to send unsolicited marketing emails.

3. Cookies

SculptPedia may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the operation, security, and functionality of the website.

Depending on the services used by the website, cookies may also be used for purposes such as website analytics, performance measurement, remembering preferences, or protecting forms from automated abuse.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of the website.

4. Contact Form and CAPTCHA

Our Contact page may use CAPTCHA or similar anti-spam technology to prevent automated and abusive submissions.

When you use the Contact form, the information you submit may be processed by the website's hosting infrastructure and by third-party services used to provide spam protection or form functionality.

We recommend that you do not include sensitive personal information in messages submitted through the Contact form.

5. Third-Party Services

SculptPedia may use third-party services to provide hosting, website security, spam protection, analytics, content delivery, or other technical functionality.

These service providers may process limited technical or personal information on our behalf. Their processing of information may be governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise trade personal information submitted to SculptPedia.

6. Links to Other Websites

SculptPedia contains links to external websites, including museums, cultural institutions, archives, educational resources, image sources, and other websites related to sculpture and art.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of external websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit.

7. Publicly Available Information

SculptPedia is an encyclopedia and catalog of sculpture. Information about artworks, artists, historical periods, museums, locations, and other cultural subjects may describe people or organizations that are already publicly documented.

The inclusion of publicly available information in the SculptPedia catalog does not mean that SculptPedia collects or maintains private personal profiles of individuals.

8. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Messages submitted through the Contact form may be retained for as long as necessary to respond to the inquiry, maintain editorial correspondence, resolve disputes, or keep appropriate administrative records.

Technical logs may be retained for a limited period for security, troubleshooting, and operational purposes.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed through SculptPedia against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore avoid submitting confidential or highly sensitive information through the website.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to:

  • request access to personal information we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate information;
  • request deletion of your personal information;
  • object to or restrict certain processing;

  • request information about how your personal information is processed.

To exercise an applicable privacy right, please contact us through our Contact page.

SculptPedia is an educational and cultural resource and is not directed at collecting personal information from children.

We do not knowingly request or collect unnecessary personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us through the website, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.

12. International Visitors

SculptPedia is an international website and may be accessed from countries around the world.

Depending on the location of our hosting providers and technical service providers, information may be processed in countries other than the country in which you are located.

Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards will be used for international transfers of personal information.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to SculptPedia, the services we use, or applicable legal requirements.
