Privacy & Cookie Policy
We care about your privacy and treat your information the way we treat our work — with attention and respect. This page explains what we collect, why, and what choices you have. If anything is unclear, write to us at hello@ode-art.com.
Who we are
ODE is a small studio based in the Netherlands, selling fine art prints and canvases through this website. For the purposes of data protection law, we are the data controller for the personal information processed through this site.
- Registered name: InnovatieSpot (trading as ODE art)
- Address: Ockeghemlaan 12, 3723LR, Bilthoven, The Netherlands
- Email: hello@ode-art.com
What we collect
Information you give us. When you place an order, contact us, or subscribe to our newsletter, you may share:
- Your name
- Email address
- Billing and shipping address
- Phone number, if you provide one
- Order details
- Any messages you send us
Information collected automatically. When you visit the site, we and our service providers may collect your IP address, browser type and device information, pages viewed and time spent on the site, and information stored through cookies and similar technologies.
How we use it
We use personal information to:
- Process and deliver your order
- Respond to questions and provide customer support
- Communicate with you about your purchase
- Improve the website and our services
- Prevent fraud and abuse
- Meet legal and tax obligations
- Send marketing communications where you've asked to receive them, or where the law permits
We only process your data where we have a lawful basis — usually because it's necessary to fulfil our agreement with you, because we have a legitimate interest such as preventing fraud, because the law requires it, or because you've given consent.
Who we share it with
To make and deliver your work, we share relevant order information with carefully selected production and fulfilment partners. They only receive what they need — typically your name, delivery address and product details.
We also work with trusted service providers that help us run our business:
- Shopify, our e-commerce platform
- Payment providers
- Print and fulfilment partners
- Shipping carriers
- Website analytics providers
- Email and marketing tools
These providers process personal data on our behalf and are bound to handle it securely and lawfully. We don't sell your personal information.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to make the website work properly, remember your preferences, understand how the site is used, and measure the effectiveness of our marketing.
Some cookies are essential — without them, the site simply cannot function. Other cookies, such as analytics and marketing, are only set with your consent. You can manage your preferences through the cookie banner that appears when you first visit, or change them later through your browser settings.
Analytics and marketing
Where you've consented, we may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site — which pages they view, how long they stay, what device they use, and roughly where they're visiting from. We use this to improve the site and our work. Where required by law, these tools are only activated after you've given consent.
International transfers
Some of our service providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards — such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses — to make sure your data remains protected to a standard equivalent to EU law.
How long we keep your data
We keep personal information only as long as we need it — to fulfil your order, provide support, meet legal and tax obligations, resolve disputes or enforce our agreements. When it's no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information — including secure HTTPS encryption, access controls, secure hosting, and monitoring procedures. No system can guarantee absolute security, but we work continuously to keep your data safe.
Artificial intelligence
We may use AI-powered tools to improve customer experience or creative work. Customer data, uploaded images and order information are never used to train public AI models. Where AI-assisted services are involved, they are used solely to deliver or improve the service you've asked for.
Images you upload
If you voluntarily upload images — for example, photos of your space for a custom commission — those files are used only for that purpose. They are not sold, shared for marketing, or used to train AI models. We delete them when they are no longer needed for the service.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have rights regarding your personal data, including:
- The right to access your personal data
- The right to correct inaccurate information
- The right to deletion
- The right to restrict or object to certain processing
- The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- The right to data portability
- The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — in the Netherlands, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens
To exercise any of these rights, write to us at hello@ode-art.com. We'll respond within the timeframes set by applicable law.
Data breaches
We have procedures in place to identify, investigate and respond to security incidents. If a personal data breach occurs that affects your rights or freedoms, we'll take appropriate action and notify you and the relevant authorities where the law requires it.
Social media
ODE maintains profiles on Instagram, Pinterest and LinkedIn. If you interact with us through these platforms, their own privacy policies also apply — we recommend reviewing them.
