Privacy Policy

Steven Stern Fine Arts app for iPhone · Effective date: October 21, 2026

This policy explains what information the Steven Stern Fine Arts (“SSFA”, “we”, “us”) app collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. We have kept the app simple: you can browse it without an account, and it collects personal information only when you choose to send it to us.

Information you choose to send us

The app’s Sell section contains our “Sell Your Painting” form. If you fill it out and submit it, we receive the information you enter, which may include:

• Your name and contact details (such as email address and phone number);
• Details about the painting (such as the artist, title, size, condition, provenance and your message);
• Photos of the painting that you choose to upload.

If you choose the “Prefer email instead?” option, or tap an email link, your own email app opens and you send the message directly to us. Tapping a phone link hands the call to your phone app.

How we use it

We use the information you send only to respond to you: to review and evaluate your painting, provide a free appraisal or offer, and communicate with you about buying, selling or consigning it. Photos you upload are used only to evaluate the painting.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.

Jotform (form processor)

The Sell Your Painting form is provided by Jotform, a third-party form service. When you submit the form, your entries and photos are transmitted to and stored by Jotform on our behalf, and Jotform emails the submission to Steven Stern Fine Arts. Jotform processes this data as our service provider; its handling is also covered by Jotform’s Privacy Policy.

Camera and photos

The app asks for access to your camera or photo library only when you choose to take or attach photos of a painting in the Sell form. It accesses only the photos you select, and they are sent only as part of the submission you make.

Favorites stay on your device

Works you save as favorites are stored only on your device, in the app’s local storage. They are not sent to us or to anyone else. Deleting the app removes them.

No tracking, analytics or advertising

The app contains no advertising and no analytics or tracking tools. It does not track you across other apps or websites, does not collect your location, and does not require an account or login. The app does not currently send push notifications.

Links to other sites

Some links open outside websites or apps, such as californiapaintings.com, artist websites, or Apple Maps and Google Maps. Those services have their own privacy practices.

How long we keep information

We keep submissions and correspondence for as long as needed to respond to you and for our ordinary business records, unless you ask us to delete them.

Your choices and deleting your information

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the information you have sent us at any time by emailing StevenSternFineArts@gmail.com with the subject “Privacy request”. Please include the name and email address you used so we can find your submission. We will delete it from our records and from our Jotform account.

Children’s privacy

The app is intended for adults interested in fine art. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, email us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the updated version on this page and update the effective date above.
