Privacy notice

Draft for the test version. This describes what Studio does today, in plain language. It will be checked by Artist Created before the public launch, and it is not legal advice.

Who runs Studio

Created Futures Ltd (“we”) runs Artist Created and the Showcase pages. You can contact us at [a contact email will be added here].

What Studio keeps about you

Your account: your email address, the name you choose to give, your Artist Created Creator number, when you joined, and the career stage you choose (if you choose one).
Your work: titles, materials, sizes, dates, prices, series, notes, and the stage each work is at.
Your pictures: each photo is kept at original quality, at screen size and as a small thumbnail. Hidden details such as GPS location and camera information are removed before they are sent to us.
Your clients: names, email addresses and notes that you choose to enter about people who buy or commission your work, and who bought which number of a print edition. Only enter what you need.
Your CV and personal statement, including every version you save.
Course feeds: if you tick “Share in the course feed” on a course exercise, its picture and day appear on a public page for that course, with your initials (or the name style you choose), and no link to your Showcase page. You can take it down at any time.
Reports you send: if you report a work, we keep which work, your reason and any note. The artist is not told who reported it.
Your collections: the names of your collections and which published works you put in them. They are private. Artists see only how many people collected a work, never who.
Your events: names, dates, venues, notes, links and photos of openings, exhibitions and other events you add. Before an event can appear on your Showcase page, you confirm that everyone recognisable in its photos is happy to appear and that no children can be identified.
Your calculator results, saved against your works.
A simple record of what you do in Studio, such as “added a photo”, so we can see which tools are useful and improve Studio.
Sign-in details: one-time links and codes (kept in scrambled form for 15 minutes) and a sign-in cookie.
Payment information, when you pay for a membership, a course or a work. Stripe handles card details; we never see or keep your card number. We keep a record of what you bought and when.

Why we use it

To provide Studio as part of your Artist Created membership. To keep Studio secure. And, only if you choose to publish it, to show your page on the Showcase. Publishing is your choice, and you can withdraw it at any time by unpublishing.

Who can see it

Only you can see your works, pictures, clients, CV and statement.
Artist Created staff who run Studio can see members’ email addresses and totals, and can create a sign-in link for a member when needed for support or testing. Every use of that is recorded in a log.
Anyone can see your Showcase page, but only if you publish it, and only what you chose to put on it.

We do not sell your information.

Emails

We send sign-in codes and messages about your account when you need them. We only send news, tips and offers if you tick the box on your Account page, and lesson emails if you start a course that sends them; you can turn either off there or with the link in any email. We don’t track whether you open our emails or click their links. We use what you do in Studio (for example, whether you have published your Showcase page) to choose which emails are useful to you.

Messages

When you enquire about a work, or an artist replies, the messages are kept in Studio so both of you have a record. Your email address is never shown to the other person. Email addresses and phone numbers written in messages are hidden until the artist chooses to share their contact details. Artist Created only reads a conversation if one of you reports it, and every time we do is recorded. If you delete your account, your messages are deleted; the other person keeps their own.

Your Showcase page

It can show your name, short statement, career stage, what you offer, your superpowers, one web link, your Artist Created Creator number and the year you joined (only if you tick to show them), any events you choose to show with their photos, and the works you choose, as pictures at screen size with their title, materials, size and year, plus any description, note on how it was made, and materials and subjects you add. Each of those works also appears in the Showcase Feed, with its own page. It never shows your email address, prices, clients or original-quality pictures. For now we ask search engines not to list these pages. If your membership is paused or ends, your page is hidden. We can also hide a page that breaks the terms of use.

Who handles it for us

Cloudflare provides our hosting, database and picture storage, and Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that forms such as the newsletter sign-up are filled in by a person, not a bot (it looks at your browser and connection, not who you are, and sets no advertising cookies). Resend sends sign-in emails. Stripe takes payments and pays creatives for work they sell. Anthropic provides the AI used by the tutor, only when you ask it something. Canvas, the image tool, runs on Cloudflare's own AI service (using an image model by Black Forest Labs): when you use it, the photo of your work and your direction are sent there to make the image. Some of this processing may happen outside the UK (to be confirmed before launch).

How long we keep it

For as long as you have a Studio account. If your membership is paused, we keep your information and you can still export or delete it. If you delete your account, we remove everything from Studio. Copies in routine backups may remain for a short time afterwards (to be confirmed).

Your rights

You can see and download everything we hold from the Account page, correct it in Studio, ask us to delete it, object to how we use it, and withdraw consent for your Showcase page. If you are unhappy, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Cookies and similar

Studio sets one essential cookie that keeps you signed in for 30 days. If you arrive through a link from one of Artist Created’s affiliates (an address ending in ?ref= and their code), Studio also sets a referral cookie for 60 days. It holds only their code, so that if you join or buy a course or membership, they can be thanked with a commission. If you join, we keep the affiliate who introduced you on your account. We count one visit a day from each link, using a scrambled code made from your internet address and browser, so we never store either. It sets no advertising or tracking cookies. The pricing calculator remembers your last numbers in your own browser, and clears them when you sign out. Fonts are served from Studio itself.

The free calculators

Anyone can use the pricing, commission, day rate and licensing calculators a few times for free, without signing up. To count those free uses, the calculators set a small cookie in your browser holding a random code (it says nothing about you and isn’t shared with anyone), and keep a scrambled form of your internet address (salted and hashed, so the address itself can’t be read back from it). Both are only used to count free uses, and are deleted after 30 days. If you have an account, your uses are counted on your account instead. Your answers in the calculators stay in your browser unless you choose to save or email a result.

Young creators (13 to 17)

Studio is for adults, except for young creators, whose profile is added and looked after by their parent or guardian. For them:

Their work is private. It is never shown on the Showcase, in the Feed or in course feeds.
Nobody on Artist Created can message them, and they cannot message anyone.
Their parent or guardian can see everything in their Studio, and the young person is told this on every page.
They can only ask for help from tutors Artist Created has checked with an enhanced DBS check, and their parent can read all the feedback.
We do not ask for their email address. Sign-in codes go to their parent.
We keep only their first name, year of birth and the work they add. We do not use their information for marketing, advertising or profiling, and we never share it.
Their parent can download their work, sign them out everywhere, or remove the profile and all its data at any time.

Your art world

In Your art world you can list the people, places and opportunities around your work, with notes such as how close you are and whether they’ve agreed to hear from you. This is private to you: nobody else at Artist Created sees it, except where we must to keep Studio working or to meet a legal duty, and it is never used for marketing. Only add what you need, check people are happy to hear from you before you contact them, and you can delete any of it, or everything, at any time. If you use the weekly check-in, the numbers in each ring, your hours, the number of people you contacted and your win are sent to Anthropic to produce your companion’s reply; the names in your art world are not.

Cricket Creator: bowling analysis (AI)

Bowling analysis is optional and off until it is switched on: by the player if they are 18 or over, or by a parent or guardian for a young player (we record who switched it on or off, the words they saw and when). When a player chooses some of their bowling clips, Cricket Creator takes about 12 still pictures from each (no sound) and sends them to Anthropic, with the player’s age group, bowling arm, bowling style and the camera angles, so its AI can describe what it sees. Their name, email and other details are never sent. We use Anthropic’s commercial service, whose terms say this information is not used to train its AI. We keep the report and only the pictures it shows; the other pictures are deleted once the report is made. A report is private to the player, their parent and coaches verified by Artist Created whom they have added, unless they share it by a private link. Deleting the clip, the report or the account deletes it. The report contains observations to discuss with a coach, never a judgement on whether an action is legal and never medical advice.

The tutor and the Foundation Reviewer (AI)

Studio has two optional helpers that use artificial intelligence: Ask the tutor on your works, and the Foundation Reviewer in Foundation Ready. They are made with Claude, by Anthropic. When you use one, Studio sends Anthropic what it needs to answer: your question or answer, photos of the work concerned, its title, details and your notes, and for course work the lesson text. Nothing is sent unless you ask. Studio keeps the conversation with your work so you can read it again; deleting the work, or your account, deletes it. We use Anthropic’s commercial service, under terms that say what they may do with this information. Young creators can only use the Foundation Reviewer if their parent or guardian agrees, and their parent can see every conversation.

Children

Apart from young creators, Studio is for adults (18 and over).

Cricket Creator has its own rules by age (under 13; 13 to 15; 16 and 17; and, in India, parental consent for everyone under 18), set out in its privacy policy at cricketer.pro/privacy.

Changes

We will update this page if what Studio does changes.
