Who is responsible
Clio Newton, c/o Jean Gauthier, Gerechtigkeitsgasse 80, 3011 Bern, Switzerland, is responsible for the personal data collected through this website. Write to info@clionewton.com with any question about it.
What is collected
Inquiries. When you send an inquiry from the contact page, I receive your name, your email address and your message. The form is Squarespace's own: the submission is stored in this site's Squarespace account and a copy is emailed to me so that I can answer you. Squarespace is a company in the United States, so your message is processed there. Inquiries are kept for as long as there is a reason to keep them, and deleted on request.
Studio List. If you subscribe, your email address is stored, with the page you subscribed from and the time, in a Google Firestore database in Zurich, Switzerland. Nothing is sent to you until you confirm the address by following a link in a confirmation email, and every mailing carries an unsubscribe link. The list itself is held by Brevo, whose servers are in France.
Purchases. If you buy a print, the Add to Cart button takes you to Shopify, which runs the checkout and the shop at shop.clionewton.com. From that point Shopify and its payment providers receive your name, your email address, your billing and delivery addresses, what you ordered, your payment details and your IP address, and Shopify’s own privacy policy applies alongside this one. I never see your card details. Your order record is kept for ten years, which Swiss bookkeeping law requires of business records.
Marketing consent at checkout. Shopify’s checkout offers a box marked “Sign me up for news and offers from this store”. If you tick it, that consent is recorded by Shopify against your customer record there, and I send you the Studio List’s confirmation email. Ticking the box does not by itself put you on the Studio List: you are added only if you follow the link in that email, and if you ignore it nothing further happens. The two records stay separate — Shopify holds its own consent, Brevo holds the Studio List — and your address reaches Brevo only after you confirm it.
Spam protection. The Studio List form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a submission comes from a person rather than a script, and Cloudflare receives your IP address for that check. The contact form uses Google reCAPTCHA for the same purpose, which runs when you submit it.
Statistics. Squarespace records visits to this site — which pages are opened, roughly where in the world the visit came from, and which site you arrived from — so that I can see what is read. I also use PostHog, on European servers, to count the same kind of thing and to see how many people join the Studio List. PostHog is set up so that nothing is stored on your device and no identifier follows you around: it works out whether two visits came from the same browser on its own servers, using a value that is thrown away and replaced every day. Neither of them is sold, shared for advertising, or used to identify you.
Fonts. The site's typefaces are served by Adobe Fonts. Your browser requests them from Adobe, which receives your IP address and the address of the page you are reading in order to answer.
Server logs. The site is hosted by Squarespace, which logs requests, including IP addresses, to operate and secure the service.
Cookies
Three cookies are set when you visit. crumb is a security token that stops this site's forms being submitted from somewhere else. ss_cvr and ss_cvt belong to Squarespace and are what the statistics above are counted from: the first recognises a browser that has been here before, the second marks a single visit.
None of them is used for advertising, and nothing here is shared with an advertising network. Your browser can refuse or delete all three; the site reads the same either way, though the forms need crumb to work.
Your rights
You may ask what data is held about you, have it corrected or deleted, object to how it is used, or request a copy in a portable form. Write to info@clionewton.com. If you believe your data is handled unlawfully, you can complain to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner in Bern, or, if you live in the European Union, to the supervisory authority where you live.
