Privacy Policy

Arte Soma — artesoma.space Last updated: March 2026 This policy describes what personal data Arte Soma collects, how it is used, and the rights available to users. Arte Soma operates under Mexican law (Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares) and, where applicable, complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant US state privacy laws.

1. Who We Are

Arte Soma is a bilingual creative learning space based in Mexico City. Our website address is https://www.artesoma.space. For data-related inquiries, contact us directly through the contact form on the website.

2. Data We Collect

  1. Website interactions (WordPress defaults)
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string for spam detection. An anonymized hash of your email address may be sent to Gravatar to check for a profile image. If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for one year. Login and session cookies are set for authenticated users and expire as described in the standard WordPress cookie policy.
  1. Contact form submissions
When you submit a contact or feedback form, we collect the information you provide (typically name, email address, and message content). This data is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties or used for marketing without your explicit consent.
  1. Email list
Arte Soma's email list is managed through Mailchimp (Intuit Inc.). When you subscribe, your name and email address are stored on Mailchimp's servers in the United States. Mailchimp's privacy policy is available at https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. You may unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email. Subscribing constitutes consent to receive Arte Soma communications; your data will not be used for other purposes.
  1. Payments and purchases
Digital products and courses are sold through Payhip (Payhip Ltd., UK). Payment processing and transaction data are handled entirely by Payhip and its payment processors. Arte Soma does not store payment card information. Payhip's privacy policy is available at https://payhip.com/privacy. Purchase records (email address, product purchased, transaction date) may be retained by Arte Soma for administrative and tax compliance purposes.
  1. Micro Practice Generator
The Micro Practice Generator processes your inputs in real time to generate a practice response. At present, no input data is stored or logged after the session ends. This may change in future versions of the tool; if data retention is introduced, this policy will be updated and users will be informed prior to that change taking effect.
  1. Embedded content
Pages on this site may include embedded content from third-party services (e.g., video, audio, or social media). Embedded content behaves as if you had visited those third-party sites directly. They may collect data, set cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded material.
  1. Media uploads
If you upload images to the site, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may be able to download and extract location data from any images published on the site.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For users in the European Economic Area, Arte Soma processes personal data on the following legal bases: (a) consent — for email subscriptions and optional cookie storage; (b) contract — for processing purchases and delivering digital products; (c) legitimate interests — for spam detection and site security. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

4. Data Retention

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to facilitate moderation. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to the inquiry. Email subscriber data is retained until unsubscription. Purchase records are retained as required for legal and tax compliance. User profile data may be deleted upon request, subject to legal retention obligations.

5. Data Sharing

Arte Soma does not sell personal data. Data is shared only with the third-party processors described above (Mailchimp, Payhip, Gravatar, automated spam detection services) and only to the extent necessary to operate those services. No data is shared for advertising or profiling purposes. If a password reset is requested, your IP address is included in the reset email.

6. International Data Transfers

Some third-party processors (including Mailchimp) store data in the United States. Where data is transferred outside Mexico or the EEA, Arte Soma relies on the privacy policies and contractual commitments of those processors to ensure adequate protection.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to: — Access the personal data held about you — Request correction of inaccurate data — Request deletion of your data — Object to or restrict processing — Request a portable copy of your data — Withdraw consent at any time To exercise any of these rights, use the contact form at artesoma.space. We will respond within 30 days. Users in the EU also have the right to lodge a complaint with their national data protection authority.

8. Cookies

This site uses functional cookies as described in Section 2(a). No advertising or behavioral tracking cookies are set by Arte Soma directly. Third-party embedded content may set their own cookies subject to their respective policies.

9. Children's Privacy

Arte Soma's services are not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has submitted data through this site, contact us for prompt deletion.

10. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in practices or legal requirements. Material changes will be communicated via the website or email list. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
