This Privacy Policy describes how Rodney Dickson ("Artist," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and safeguards information obtained through the website located at www.rodneydickson.com (the "Site"). Your use of the Site constitutes acceptance of the practices described herein.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide Voluntarily. We collect personal information that you voluntarily submit through the Site's contact form or by communicating directly with us via electronic mail. Such information may include your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and the content of any message you direct to us.
Information Collected Automatically. When you visit the Site, certain technical information is collected automatically by our hosting infrastructure and analytics tools, including but not limited to: Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, time and date of visit, and duration of visit. This information is collected in aggregate and is not ordinarily linked to any personally identifiable information.
Cookies and Similar Technologies. The Site may employ cookies — small text files placed on your device — as well as similar tracking technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons. We use these technologies to understand site traffic, improve user experience, and analyze engagement. You may configure your browser to refuse cookies; however, doing so may impair certain Site functionality.

- To respond to your inquiries, exhibition requests, or purchase interest;
- To provide information about the Artist's work, events, and exhibitions;
- To maintain and improve the Site;
- To comply with applicable legal obligations; and
- To protect against fraudulent, unauthorized, or illegal activity.
We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making or profiling purposes.
3. Disclosure of Your Information
We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. We may disclose your information in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers. We may share information with trusted third-party vendors who assist us in operating the Site or conducting our business (e.g., web hosting providers, email service providers), provided such parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of your information;
- Legal Compliance. We may disclose information when required by law, regulation, judicial proceeding, or governmental authority, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, or investigate fraud; and
- Business Transfer. In the event of a merger, sale, or transfer of assets, your information may be transferred as part of such transaction, subject to the same privacy protections described herein.
4. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Contact form submissions and correspondence are generally retained for a period not exceeding three (3) years, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
5. Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and disclaim liability for breaches beyond our reasonable control.
