Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

ArtistFolio is a portfolio and enquiry tool for independent artists. It lets an artist manage their gallery, QR codes, offers, enquiries and subscriber list privately on their own devices.

Data Collection

The app stores information entered by the artist and by visitors to their pages:

• Artist content — name, bio, photo, artwork details and images, and contact details (email, phone), entered by the artist.
• Visitor submissions — name, email address, optional phone number, messages and offer amounts, entered by people enquiring about artworks.
• Subscriber details — email address, optional phone number, and the date consent was given, entered by people signing up for updates.
• Usage events — page views, QR scans, enquiry and sign-up counts, used only for the artist's private analytics dashboard.

Data Storage

All data is stored locally on the artist's device using Apple's SwiftData framework, and syncs between the artist's own devices via their private iCloud account (Apple CloudKit). No data is sent to the developer or to any server operated by us. Apple processes iCloud data under their own privacy terms.

Data Sharing

We do not share any data with third parties, and there are no third-party analytics or trackers in the app. QR codes generated by the artist may encode a link, email address, phone number or contact card — this happens only at the artist's instruction when they create and share the code. The artist can export their own subscriber list (CSV) and contact card (vCard) at any time.

Your Rights

If you submitted an enquiry or signed up for updates from an artist using this app, that artist is the data controller for your information. To unsubscribe, access or delete your details, reply to any update email or contact the artist directly. You can also email us at the address below and we will pass your request on. UK GDPR and PECR apply: sign-ups are consent-based only, consent is timestamped, and unsubscribe requests are honoured.

Children's Privacy

ArtistFolio is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy at any time. If a hosted website or sync service is added in future, this policy will be updated to describe what leaves the device and where it goes. Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
