How we protect
your collection
Your artwork records, images, and personal information are private by default. Here's exactly what we do to keep them that way.
What we do to protect you
Plain-language explanations of how your data is secured.
Data Privacy
Your collection data belongs to you. We don't sell, share, or use your data for advertising. We only access your account when you ask us for support.
Encrypted Connections
All data sent between your browser and Artledge is encrypted in transit. We enforce HTTPS on every connection — no exceptions.
Private Image Storage
Your artwork images are stored in private cloud storage. Files are never publicly accessible — each request is authenticated and time-limited.
Secure Authentication
Passwords are cryptographically hashed and never stored in plain text. Sessions are managed with secure, HTTP-only cookies that can't be accessed by scripts.
Account Isolation
Your data is separated from other accounts at the database level. Only you and the people you choose to share with can access your artworks, images, or personal information.
Secure Payments
All billing is handled by Stripe. We never see or store your credit card number. Stripe is PCI Level 1 certified — the highest level of payment security.
Questions or concerns?
If you notice anything unusual with your account, or have questions about how we handle your data, reach out and we'll respond as quickly as we can. We take every report seriously.
