The website regartmag.com is published by Reg’Art (Reg’Art Mag), an independent magazine and curatorial space based in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Reg’Art is the controller of the processing described on this page.
Our readers live in the DRC, elsewhere in Africa, in Europe and in the rest of the world. We therefore apply the principles shared by the major data protection laws:
In practice: specific purposes, minimal data, limited retention periods, secure information and respect for your rights.
| Situation | Data | Why | Legal basis | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| You write to us (form or email) | Name, email, subject, message | To reply to you and follow up on your request | Your request (legitimate interest in replying) | 3 years after our last exchange |
| You submit an artist portfolio | Identity, contact details, biography, images of works, artist statement | To review your work and, if selected, prepare a publication | Your request, then your written consent before any publication | 2 years if the portfolio is not selected; as long as the article is online if it is published |
| You comment on an article | Name, email (never published), comment, date | To publish and moderate comments | Your consent, given when you post | As long as the article is online, or until you ask for deletion |
| You click “Like” | No personal data: the site counts the “Likes”, your browser remembers your click | To display the number of “Likes” and prevent double votes | The service you request | Counter kept with the article |
| You visit the site | IP address, date and time, page viewed, browser type (host’s technical logs) | Site security, attack prevention | Legitimate interest (security) | Limited period set by the host |
For comments, the IP address and browser are used only to filter spam at the moment of submission: they are not stored.
Only the people who need it have access:
These contractors act on our instructions and may not use your data for their own purposes. We only pass your data on to an authority if the law requires us to.
The site and email are hosted by Hostinger, whose servers may be located outside the DRC. These transfers are governed by the host’s contractual commitments and by the GDPR, to which it is subject.
At any time, you can:
Write to contact@regartmag.com with the subject “Personal data”. We reply within one month at most. If there is any doubt about your identity, we may ask you to confirm it.
The site is open to everyone. If you are under 16, ask a parent or guardian for permission before writing to us, commenting or submitting a portfolio.
The share buttons and links to Instagram, Facebook, Threads or X are simple links: no data is sent to these networks unless you click. Once on their sites, their own privacy rules apply.
We will update this page if our practices or the law change. The date of the last update appears at the top of the page. In the event of a significant change, we will say so clearly on the site.
