[ PRIVACY POLICY · VERSION NOVEMBER 2026 ]
Privacy
Who is responsible
Joan Saló Armengol, c/o AtelierHaus, Am Treptower Park 28–30, 12435 Berlin, Germany. Email: privacy@tyrio.art. Tyrio is run by one person and has no data protection officer, as none is required at this size.
The artist register
Tyrio is a public register of contemporary artists. For each artist we hold only professional information that is already public: name as used professionally; fairs with year, section and gallery; solo shows at listed institutions; participation in listed biennials; year of birth where published; a short factual sentence about the career; factual labels. We also calculate an internal score from fairs and galleries, used only to sort internal lists. It is never published, and no decision with legal or similar effect is based on it. We hold no private addresses, phone numbers, images of people or sensitive data.
Sources
Official websites and press material of art fairs, galleries, institutions and biennials; Wikidata and Wikipedia for years of birth; information sent to us through the correction form.
Legal basis
Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): a reliable, searchable record of where contemporary artists have exhibited. The data is professional, was made public by the artists, their galleries or institutions, and is shown only as facts and positive labels. Every artist can correct their entry or object to being listed. Because the data does not come from the artists directly, this policy is our information under Art. 14 GDPR; contacting thousands of artists individually would take disproportionate effort (Art. 14(5)(b) GDPR).
Your rights
You can ask us at any time to see, correct, delete or restrict the data we hold about you, or object to being listed (Art. 15–18 and 21 GDPR). Use the correction form or email us. If you object, we remove your entry and keep only your name on a short list so it is not added again from a future fair list. We may ask for confirmation from you or your gallery. We answer within one month.
Visiting the website
This website is delivered by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. When you open a page, Cloudflare processes technical data (IP address, date and time, page requested, browser) to deliver the site and protect it against attacks (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We have a data processing agreement with Cloudflare, which includes the EU Standard Contractual Clauses; Cloudflare is also certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. We do not keep visitor logs ourselves. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits: it sets no cookies, does not store your IP address and does not follow you across websites. We use no tracking or advertising cookies, and fonts are served from our own server, so no consent banner is needed.
Correction form and email
When you send a correction, a gallery form or an email, we use your name, email, your relationship to the artist and your message only to handle your request (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Emails to tyrio.art addresses are forwarded by our domain provider, Porkbun LLC (USA), to our mailbox at Google Ireland Limited (Gmail). We delete these messages 12 months after the request is closed, unless the law requires us to keep them longer.
Market interest forms
If you tell us that you own a work or are looking for one, we store your email and the artist's name you entered. We use them only to gauge interest and to write to you about the market (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, your consent). You can withdraw consent at any time by email, and we delete your entry. We do not share these details with other collectors, galleries or artists.
Retention, recipients, transfers
Register entries stay online while the register exists, as they record past exhibitions, unless an artist objects or we can no longer verify them. We do not sell or rent personal data. Apart from the service providers named above, no one receives data from us. Where these providers process data in the USA, the transfer is covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
Complaints
You can complain to a data protection authority, in particular the Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit, Alt-Moabit 59–61, 10555 Berlin. We would appreciate the chance to resolve the issue with you first.
Changes
Before the Tyrio market opens, this policy will be extended to cover buyers and sellers. The date at the top shows the current version.
