Privacy

Small footprint.
Clear purpose.

We collect only what is needed to review artwork and protect the submission queue.

What we collect

Your nickname, the original image file you submit (including any metadata embedded in it), a sanitized preview, consent confirmations, submission time, basic image metadata, a cryptographic file hash, and a privacy-preserving hash of your IP address. We do not require an account, legal name, email address, or physical address.

Why we use it

To review submissions, preserve the quality of the submitted work, detect exact duplicates and obvious abuse, credit you if selected, and move approved work into the Klein Well production pipeline.

Optional analytics

If you choose “Allow analytics”, the Pinterest Tag records visits to the home, catalogue and product pages, catalogue category views, and clicks that open Gumroad checkout. Pinterest may use cookies or browser storage to measure Pinterest traffic, advertising performance and audiences. The tag is not loaded before consent, and Klein Well does not send submission files, nicknames or email addresses to it. You can change your choice at any time using “Privacy choices”.

Visibility

Original files, pending submissions, and rejected submissions are private. If your submission is selected, your nickname and the resulting artwork may be shown publicly. We never automatically publish an unreviewed upload or its original file.

Retention

Moderation records may be retained for audit and abuse prevention. Original and sanitized image files are stored together while a submission is retained. Rejected files can be removed during periodic cleanup. Published works and their attribution may be kept as part of the public gallery.
