3. Why personal data is used
Personal data is used only for purposes connected with the operation of the Website and the visitor's interaction with it, including:
- receiving, reading and answering enquiries;
- corresponding about artworks, exhibitions, publications, rights requests and other professional matters;
- sending news or updates to people who have chosen to subscribe;

After an unsubscribe request, the email address will no longer be used for future newsletter communications, except where a limited record must be retained to document the request or comply with applicable law.
5. Service providers and recipients
The Website depends on technical service providers necessary for functions such as hosting, domain operation, website delivery, security, email and subscription management.
These providers may process limited personal data only to the extent necessary to provide their services.
Personal data may also be disclosed where required by applicable law, a court or a competent public authority.
Personal data is not otherwise sold or licensed to third parties for their own advertising or marketing purposes.
6. How long data is kept
Personal data is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or where retention is required by law.
In particular:
- enquiry and contact correspondence may be retained for as long as it remains relevant to the professional matter concerned;
- newsletter subscription data is retained while the subscription remains active and is removed from active mailing use after withdrawal;
- technical logs are retained for the period required for security, operation and diagnosis in accordance with the practices of the relevant technical provider.
Information that no longer has a continuing purpose is deleted or anonymised where appropriate.
7. Security
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure.
The Website uses encrypted transmission where supported by the service.
No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors should therefore avoid sending unnecessary confidential or sensitive information through enquiry forms or ordinary email.
8. Rights
Subject to the conditions and limits of applicable data-protection law, a person may request information about personal data concerning them and may ask for inaccurate data to be corrected.
Where applicable, a person may also request deletion of personal data or exercise other rights available under applicable law.
Where processing is based on consent, consent may be withdrawn for the future at any time.
Requests may be sent to:
Reasonable confirmation of identity may be requested where necessary to avoid disclosing personal data to the wrong person.
Individuals may also contact the competent data-protection supervisory authority. In Switzerland, the relevant federal authority is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC / IFPDT).
9. External links
The Website contains links to museums, galleries, publications, institutions, social-media platforms and other external services.
Once a visitor follows an external link, the processing of personal data by that service is governed by the external service's own privacy practices and policies.
Victor Teslaru does not control the privacy practices of external services.
10. Children
The Website is not directed specifically at children and does not intentionally request personal data from children.
If personal data submitted by a child is identified and there is no appropriate reason to retain it, it will be removed where reasonably possible.
11. Changes to this Policy
