Privacy Policy

The Short Version

We collect information to run the platform, process transactions, send you emails you signed up for, and improve the experience. We don't sell your data. We don't rent it. We don't give advertisers your name, email address or account activity. Ads on the site are served by Google, which uses its own cookies; see Advertising below.

What We Collect

We collect information you provide to us, information related to your purchases and account activity, and some information automatically when you use Curatery.

This may include:

• Account information, such as your name, email address, password and profile information.
• Purchase and download information, such as transaction details, billing information and your download history.
• Site activity, such as items you save, collections you create, content you follow or interact with, reviews, comments, points and other account activity.
• Communications, such as messages you send to us.
• Technical information, such as your IP address, approximate location, browser, device and referring page.
• Cookies and similar technologies, including analytics and advertising identifiers. See our Cookie Policy for more information.

We do not receive or store your full payment card number.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and manage your account, purchases, downloads and memberships
• Provide site features and personalize your experience
• Send transactional, account and other communications you've requested
• Operate and improve Curatery
• Prevent fraud and protect the security of the site
• Comply with tax, legal and regulatory obligations

What We Don't Do

• We do not sell your personal information
• We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes
• We do not give advertisers your name, email address or Curatery account activity
• We do not send unsolicited commercial messages unrelated to Curatery

Third-Party Services

We use third-party service providers to help operate Curatery, including:

• Payment processors for purchases and memberships
• Amazon SES for email delivery
• Google AdSense for advertising
• Google Analytics for site analytics
• Cloudflare for security and site performance

These providers may process information as necessary to provide their services and are subject to their own privacy policies. We do not store your full payment card information on our servers.

Advertising

Curatery shows ads from Google AdSense to visitors and free members. Club members don't see ads on Curatery.

Google and its advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies to show ads, including personalised ads based on your visits to Curatery and other websites. This means third parties may collect information about your browsing across different websites over time, including through Curatery. Curatery doesn't control that collection; Google's use of it is covered by Google's advertising policies.

You can turn off personalized ads on Curatery with “Personalized ads” in Cookie settings (the “Cookie preferences” link at the bottom of every page). You’ll still see ads, but they won’t be tailored to you. You can also turn off personalised ads from Google at Google Ad Settings, or opt out of personalised advertising from many companies at aboutads.info/choices.

Email Communications

Free membership includes the Curatery newsletter. If you unsubscribe, your account and anything you’ve purchased or saved stay right where they are, but free downloads pause until you resubscribe.

Other site emails, such as weekly digests and trending alerts, can each be turned off in your email preferences or with the unsubscribe link in the email. Opting out takes effect straight away.

Account emails (receipts, password resets, email confirmation, membership and renewal notices, download limit and pass notices) are always sent, whatever your marketing preferences.

Data Retention

• Active accounts: data retained while your account is open
• Closed accounts: personal data deleted within 30 days of account closure, except where retention is required by law (e.g., tax records)
• Purchase and download records: retained for tax and compliance purposes per applicable law

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data.

• Download your data or delete your account — use the “Download my data” and “Delete my account” buttons in My Space → Profile. We’ll email you to confirm the request before acting on it.
• Update your profile — change your display name, bio and profile picture in My Space → Profile at any time.
• Anything else, including correcting other details — email hello@curatery.com from the address on your account.

We respond to requests within 30 days.

Do Not Track

Some browsers can send a “Do Not Track” signal. Curatery does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.

Security

We use reasonable security measures to protect the personal information we hold, appropriate to the nature of the information, including encrypted connections and limiting who can access it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.

Children

Curatery is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, please contact us and we will remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We'll update this page when our practices change and notify registered members via email for material changes.
