How secure is my data and how does Artory use my personal data?
Artory communicates with the Artory Engine over a secure and encrypted HTTPS connection using the best industry standards. All your data is stored in an encrypted database, and responses are anonymised before our partners are allowed to see them. Your data will never be sold to or used by third parties. Your email address is only used to send password resets and welcome emails, and we will ask for your permission through the app if we would like to send you anything else. We will use it if you contact us for support to find your account and help diagnose any issues. Your email address will not be given to the partner organisations. Passwords are stored using a best practice “salt and hash” algorithm, which means we can not read them at any point. If you register with Facebook, we store your email and an unique token to allow us to recognise it’s you. We don’t take anything else from your Facebook account. All profile questions are opt-in. You don’t have to answer any to use Artory. This information is used to allow our partner organisations to look at demographics of users, and is anonymised. You can currently interact with a partner organisation on Artory in a few ways. You can check in to one of their venues, leave feedback on their event, redeem an offer, add an event to your calendar or click through to buy tickets to an event. This will inform the engine that you have interacted with that organisation, and will add your profile question responses to their break down of demographics. Any feedback you leave through Artory is shared with the organisation about the event, and is combined together to give us a bigger picture. We only use the GPS to help you to check into venues and find events nearby – we do not record any of this data. You can request a copy of this data at any time. Please contact us through our email: events@artory.co.uk
