The Pittsburgh Artist Registry privacy policy
The Office of Public Art is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. We want to provide a safe, secure user experience. We will use our best efforts to ensure that the information you submit to us remains private, and it is used only for the purposes described below.
Information about all visitors to the Pittsburgh Artist Registry
In general, we gather information about all of our users collectively, such as what areas users visit most frequently and what services users access the most. We only use such data anonymously and in the aggregate. This information helps us determine what is most beneficial for our users, and how we can continually create a better overall experience for you. We may share this information with our partners, but only in the aggregate, so that they, too, may understand how visitors use our site for the purpose of creating a better overall experience for registry users.
Information about artists
If you are an artist who wishes to be identified in the Registry or to post artist worksamples, we will collect your name and contact information and accept images or descriptions of your worksamples for display on our website. By submitting your contact information and/or worksamples, you agree that we may display this information on our website, and you understand that we can accept no responsibility for any use of your material or contact information made by other users of the site. All information submitted by artists can be viewed by users of the site, either by completing a search or in the case of fields not displayed on profiles, by request. Artists may change or update information or be removed from the Registry by contacting us at staff@pittsburghartistregistry.org or 412.391.2060 x233.
