Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 2026

Welcome to Shakya Gallery (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your personal information is handled with care and transparency. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our website.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only information necessary to respond to your inquiries and deliver our services:

  • Inquiry & Contact Details: When you inquire about an artwork, request a consultation, or contact our concierge, we collect your name, email address, phone number, shipping country/city (if provided), and message content.
  • Newsletter Subscriptions: If you voluntarily join our Collector’s Circle, we collect and store your email address.
  • Technical & Usage Information: Generic, non-identifying data such as browser type, referring pages, and basic navigation metrics to ensure platform stability.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal data strictly for legitimate operational purposes:

  • To respond to your artwork inquiries, provide pricing quotes, and coordinate acquisitions.
  • To process delivery documentation and logistics for international or local acquisitions.
  • To distribute curatorial updates or newsletters only when you have explicitly requested them.
  • To maintain platform performance, prevent fraudulent inquiries, and secure our systems.

3. Third-Party Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party service providers to securely operate our platform. Specifically, we utilize Sanity.io for content management and cloud data storage, and Resend for transactional email communications. These providers process data strictly on our instructions to fulfill services on our behalf. We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to outside marketers or third parties.

4. Data Protection & Security

We implement industry-standard technical safeguards, including SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit, to protect your personal details against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. While no digital platform can guarantee absolute immunity from threats, we take reasonable and appropriate measures to maintain data integrity.

5. Your Rights & Choices

You retain control over your personal data:

  • Access & Deletion: You may contact us at any time to request a summary of the personal information we hold or to request its deletion from our records.
  • Opting Out: You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by contacting our concierge or by following the instructions in our communications.

6. Cookies

Our website uses only essential session and performance cookies necessary to navigate the catalog, display localized currency, and maintain basic functionality. We do not use third-party behavioral advertising tracking cookies.
