Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 21, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how RWK Systems (we, us, our) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit CraftBeerArtwork.com (the Site). This policy is part of the Site’s legal documentation located at /legal/.

1. Scope This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Site and related communications (for example, emails you send to us). It does not apply to third-party websites or services that we link to or embed (such as Instagram or Facebook).
2. Information we collect 2.1 Information you provide to us We may collect information you choose to provide, such as:

• your name, email address, and message contents when you contact us
• any information you include when you request a correction, removal, or opt-out under our Copyright, Credits & Removal Policy
• any information you include if you inquire about submitting cans or artwork

2.2 Physical submissions by mail

If you mail cans or other items to the address listed on our Submit New Art page, we may receive information on the shipment (for example, your name and return address on the package). We use that information only to handle the submission and communicate with you if needed.

2.3 Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, we (and service providers acting on our behalf) may automatically collect:

• IP address and approximate location derived from IP
• device and browser type, operating system, and referral source
• pages viewed, time spent, links clicked, and other usage data
• log data used for security, debugging, and performance

2.4 Cookies and similar technologies

The Site may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to:

• remember preferences
• measure traffic and site performance
• support security and fraud prevention
• enable advertising features if we add them in the future

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some site features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

3. How we use information We use information we collect to:

• operate, maintain, and improve the Site
• respond to inquiries and requests (including removal/correction requests)
• monitor and protect the security and integrity of the Site
• understand how visitors use the Site (analytics and performance)
• comply with applicable laws and enforce our Terms of Use
• support advertising or sponsorships if we add them in the future (see Section 6)

4. Legal bases (for visitors in certain regions) If you are located in a region that requires a legal basis for processing (such as the EEA/UK), we generally process personal data based on:

• legitimate interests (operating, securing, and improving the Site)
• consent (for certain cookies/marketing, when required)
• compliance with legal obligations
• performance of a request you initiate (for example, responding to your message)

5. How we share information We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information in limited circumstances, such as:

• service providers that help us run the Site (for example, hosting, analytics, security, email delivery). These providers are permitted to process information only for providing services to us.
• legal and safety reasons, such as to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect our rights, prevent fraud or abuse, or protect users
• business transfers, if RWK Systems is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale (information may be transferred as part of that transaction)

6. Advertising, sponsorships, and tracking (current and future) We may add ads, sponsorships, or promotional placements in the future. Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to show relevant ads.

If we add advertising that provides opt-out mechanisms (for example, interest-based ads), we will aim to provide appropriate notices and controls where practical.

7. Third-party links and embedded content The Site may include links to third-party websites and may embed content (for example, Instagram posts). Third parties may collect information about you when you interact with their content. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.
8. Data retention We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including:

• responding to requests and maintaining records of resolutions (for example, removal requests)
• security and fraud prevention
• legal and operational needs

Retention periods vary based on the type of information and why it is collected.

9. Security We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Your choices and rights 10.1 Email communications If you contact us by email, you can ask us to stop using that email thread or delete it, subject to legitimate needs (for example, recordkeeping related to a removal request).

10.2 Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Depending on your location, you may also have additional cookie consent controls if we implement them.

10.3 Access, correction, and deletion requests

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information we hold about you by contacting us (see Section 13). We may need to verify your identity and may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

10.4 U.S. state privacy rights (where applicable)

Depending on your state of residence and applicable law, you may have rights to:

• request access to certain personal information
• request deletion
• correct inaccuracies
• opt out of certain targeted advertising (if we implement it)

You can submit a request using the contact details in Section 13. We will respond as required by applicable law.

11. Children’s privacy The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.
12. Changes to this Privacy Policy We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted at /legal/ with a revised “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the updated policy.
