1. Introduction
Interspace is an online platform and brand operated by NUI Contemporary Art Private Limited, a company incorporated in New Delhi, India. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you visit or make a purchase through our platform. By accessing or using Interspace, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
When you interact with Interspace, we collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, email address, phone number, and shipping and billing details. In the course of transactions, payment-related information is processed securely through third-party payment gateways and is not stored by us. We also automatically collect certain technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing behaviour on our platform through cookies and similar technologies.
3. Use of Information
The information we collect is used to operate and improve Interspace. This includes processing and fulfilling your orders, communicating with you regarding purchases or inquiries, providing customer support, and enhancing the functionality and experience of the platform. We may also use your information to prevent fraudulent transactions, ensure platform security, and comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
4. Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell or rent your personal information. However, we may share your data with trusted third parties who assist us in operating the platform, such as user login providers, payment processors, logistics and delivery partners, website hosting providers, and analytics services. These parties are given access only to the extent necessary to perform their functions. We may also disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Interspace uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience, analyse site traffic, and understand user interactions with the platform. These technologies help us improve functionality and tailor content. You can modify your browser settings to refuse cookies; however, doing so may affect certain features or functionality of the website.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including completing transactions, maintaining business and legal records, and complying with applicable laws. Once the data is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or anonymise it.
7. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to safeguard your data, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Artist Information and Intellectual Property
As a platform that works closely with artists, Interspace collects and uses certain information provided by artists, including biographies, curriculum vitae, statements, images of artworks, and details relating to artworks such as title, medium, dimensions, and pricing. This information is used to present, contextualise, and promote the artist’s work on the platform and across associated communication channels.
All intellectual property rights in the artworks, including authorship and the right to be credited as the artist, remain with the artist at all times. Interspace ensures that appropriate credit is provided wherever artworks are displayed or used. Any use of artist-provided content is undertaken solely for the purposes of exhibition, promotion, and sale within the scope of the platform’s activities.
At the same time, all trademarks, visual identities, platform design elements, marketing materials, and other proprietary content developed by Interspace remain its exclusive property. Artists and third parties may not use such materials without prior written consent.
Interspace takes care to distinguish between information that is made publicly visible as part of an artist’s profile or artwork listing and information that is retained privately for operational, contractual, or financial purposes. Sensitive information, including financial and contractual details, is handled with appropriate confidentiality.
9. High-Value Transactions and Artwork Handling
Transactions conducted on Interspace may involve artworks of significant monetary and cultural value. Payments are processed through secure third-party payment gateways, and Interspace does not store sensitive financial information. For certain transactions, additional verification measures may be undertaken to ensure the legitimacy and security of the transaction.
We work with professional logistics partners and employ appropriate packaging methods, including reinforced crating and protective materials, to ensure the safe handling and delivery of artworks. While all reasonable care is taken, the nature of art objects and the logistics involved mean that certain risks, including delays or damage in transit, may be beyond our direct control.
Buyers acknowledge that there is no universal standard governing how images are displayed across digital devices, and that variations in screen settings—whether on mobile phones, tablets, or computers—may affect the appearance of colour, brightness, and detail. While Interspace strives to ensure accurate visual representation of all artworks, slight differences in colour and texture may occur due to these factors as well as the inherent qualities of handcrafted or original works.
Interspace reserves the right to monitor, review, or decline transactions where there is reasonable suspicion of fraud, unauthorised activity, or violation of applicable laws.
10. Your Rights
You may have the right to access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal information, subject to applicable laws. You may also withdraw your consent to the processing of your data where such processing is based on consent. Requests can be made by contacting us using the details provided below, and we will respond in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
11. Third-Party Links
Interspace may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.
12. Children’s Privacy
Interspace is not intended for individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that such data has been collected, we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date, and continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of those changes.
