Privacy Policy
1. Who We Are
Archie & Co. is a premium curated online wall art gallery based in Berlin, Germany. We specialize in bringing original human-made art to a global audience. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our store or make a purchase.
2. Personal Data We Collect
We collect information necessary to provide our services, including: account details (name, email), order information (billing and shipping addresses), payment tokens (handled securely by our PCI-compliant processors—we never see your full card digits), communication history between you and our curators, and technical usage data collected via cookies such as your IP address and browsing behavior.
3. How and Why We Use Your Data
We use your data to fulfill orders, provide customer support, and personalize your experience. This includes sending order updates, analyzing site performance, preventing fraud, and—with your explicit consent—sending you marketing updates about new artist drops. We also process data to comply with our legal and tax obligations as an EU business.
4. Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use cookies to make our site work. These are small text files stored on your device that help us remember what’s in your cart, understand how you interact with our gallery, and provide essential site security. You can adjust your cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time, though some site features may not function correctly without them.
5. Who We Share Data With
To deliver your art, we share necessary details with payment providers (like Stripe or PayPal), delivery partners (such as DHL and UPS), and marketing/analytics tools that help us optimize our site. Crucially, Archie & Co. never sells your personal data as a product. We only share it to facilitate the services you have requested.
6. International Transfers & Security
While we are an EU-based company, some of our service providers operate outside the EEA. We ensure that any international transfers are protected by standard contractual clauses or similar legal frameworks. We employ industry-standard encryption and security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure.
7. How Long We Keep Your Data
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Order records are typically kept for 10 years to comply with German commercial and tax laws. Marketing data is retained until you withdraw your consent or opt-out of our communications.
8. Your Rights Under EU Law
Under GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. You also have the right to restrict processing, request data portability, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. You can opt-out of marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe link in our emails or contacting us directly.

If you have any questions about this policy or your data rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at privacy@archieandco.com. You can also write to us at: Archie & Co. Art Gallery, Torstraße 101, 10119 Berlin, Germany.
10. Updates to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we make significant updates, we will post a notice on our website and, if appropriate, notify you via email. This policy was last updated in January 2026.
