Privacy

Last updated: 22 October 2026.

Artline is operated by Vadim Dulub. For privacy questions or requests about your information, contact vadim@alingva.com.

Browsing and Google sign-in

You can browse the public atlas without an account. If you choose Google sign-in when it is available, Google shares an account identifier, your name and your email address with Artline. We use these details to create and recognize your Artline account and display your account information. Google also confirms whether your email address is verified.

Artline requests basic identity information only. It does not request access to your Gmail messages, Drive files, contacts or calendar. Your Google password stays with Google. Artline does not store Google access or refresh tokens.

Cookies and account records

Sign-in uses a short-lived cookie to complete the login process and a session cookie to keep you signed in for up to 30 days. Blocking these cookies prevents sign-in from working. Signing out ends that session; it does not delete your account.

Account records include your Google account identifier, name, email address and account creation and update times. Session records contain a protected token reference and creation and expiry times. Expired sessions cannot be used to sign in, even if their records have not yet been removed.

Your bookmarks

When you bookmark an artist or artwork, Artline stores the record identifier and the time you saved it with your account. Your bookmarks are private to your account. You can remove them individually from the record or from your Bookmarks page; signing out keeps them available for your next visit.

If you use a star before signing in, this browser tab may temporarily remember that selected record so Artline can save it after login. A pending save is no longer used after 15 minutes, and closing the sign-in window cancels it.

Hosting and service information

Artline runs on Google Cloud, and Cloudflare provides its domain and DNS services. Hosting services may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser details, request times and errors to deliver, secure and troubleshoot the site. Artline uses account information to provide and protect your account, not for advertising, and does not sell Google account data.

Google handles its own sign-in service under Google’s privacy policy. If you follow a link to a museum, archive or another website, that site has its own privacy practices.

Website analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure visits, page views and page-load performance. Artline does not attach your name, email address or account identifier to these measurements. Read how Cloudflare Web Analytics works.

Optional Google Analytics

If you allow analytics using the site’s Cookie settings, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand visits to public pages. Google Analytics does not load until you agree. Rejecting analytics does not affect browsing or signing in. Cloudflare Web Analytics operates separately as described above.

Google Analytics uses first-party cookies, including cookies whose names begin with _ga, to distinguish visits. Google receives technical information such as the public page path, referring site, browser and device information, and network information associated with the request. We do not send your name, email address, account identifier, search text, URL query strings or fragments. Account, bookmark, study and shared-study pages are excluded. Advertising features and Google signals are disabled.

Where browser storage is available, this browser remembers your analytics choice for up to six months. You can change it at any time using Cookie settings in the footer. Rejecting analytics after allowing it stops tracking, removes Artline’s Google Analytics cookies and reloads the page. Your browser’s Global Privacy Control signal also keeps Google Analytics off.

Google processes this information under its privacy policy. Learn how Google Analytics safeguards data.

Keeping and deleting information

Your account information remains stored while your Artline account exists. You can ask to access, correct or delete it by emailing vadim@alingva.com. We may need to verify that the request concerns your account. There is currently no automatic account-deletion button.

Security logs and backup copies are kept separately from the live account. Removing a live account does not immediately remove every backup copy. Revoking Artline’s access in your Google Account also does not automatically delete the existing Artline account; contact us to request that deletion.

Changes

This page describes the current account service. We will update it when the way Artline handles personal information changes. The date above identifies the latest version.
