At drissakonate.com, your privacy matters. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights around that data. We collect only what’s necessary to keep the site running and connect with visitors who choose to reach out.

1. Who We Are

This website is operated by Drissa Konaté, a visual artist based in Mali. It’s a personal portfolio platform to share artwork, news, and contact information.

2. What We Collect

We collect two kinds of information:

a) Information you give us directly:

  • If you fill out a contact form, we collect your name, email, and message.
  • If you sign up for updates, we collect your email address.

b) Information we collect automatically:

  • Like most websites, we use tools (e.g. Google Analytics) to collect non-identifying information such as:
    • browser type
    • pages visited
    • time spent on the site
    • general location (based on IP, not GPS)
      This helps us understand how people use the site and improve it over time.

3. What We Do With the Information

We use your information for:

  • Responding to messages you send
  • Sending occasional updates (if you opted in)
  • Understanding traffic patterns and website performance
    We don’t sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes. Ever.

4. How We Keep Your Data Safe

We use standard security practices (SSL encryption, password protection, access limits) to protect the information you share with us. But no system is 100% secure, so please avoid sending sensitive personal data.

5. Your Rights

You can:

  • Ask us what data we have about you
  • Request corrections or deletions
  • Unsubscribe from emails at any time
    To do any of this, just email: [insert contact email]

6. Cookies

We use cookies to help the site function and to understand usage. You can turn off cookies in your browser settings if you prefer. The site may not work perfectly without them.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll change the date at the top. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
