Purpose: to put the Proposal to the institution, perform the Contract and keep the records the law requires.
Legal basis: steps taken at the company's request before a contract, and performing the contract (Article 6(1)(b)); our legal obligations on accounting and tax records (Article 6(1)(c)).
Retention: a rejected Proposal, or one the institution did not answer in time, 2 years from the answer or the deadline. A Contract, 10 years after it ends (Article 2220 of the Italian Civil Code); an accepted Proposal is kept as part of its Contract. Contracts cannot be deleted on request during that period.

Purpose and legal basis: running the platform under the employment or service contract (Article 6(1)(b)). Retention: while the person works with us; actions on Contracts are kept with the Contract.

g. Authors of artworks
Data: the name, a short biography and, where we have one, a picture of the people who made the artworks shown on the site. We do not collect this from the Authors themselves: it comes from the Institution that holds the artwork, or from public sources such as catalogs and museum websites.
Purpose: to say who made each artwork. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in presenting artworks with their authors (Article 6(1)(f)). Retention: while one of the Author's artworks is on the site.
An Author can ask us to correct or remove this information at info@innextart.com, and can object to it under section 6.
3. Cookies
The site sets one cookie, and only when you log in: a session cookie that keeps you logged in. It expires when you log out, or after 30 days. For Innextart staff it expires after 12 hours, or after an hour without use. It is strictly necessary, so it needs no consent. Our server keeps a record of the session holding only a one-way hash of the cookie, your account, when you logged in and the expiry, and deletes it when you log out, or soon after it expires. The site uses no analytics, advertising or third-party cookies.
