Introduction

Tobias Keene respects the privacy of visitors to his official website, TobiasKeene.art.

This Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be collected, used, stored, and protected when visitors explore the website, make inquiries about artworks, or communicate with the artist and his representatives.

TobiasKeene.art is an artist presentation and information website, forming part of the broader KEENE network of artist, archive, gallery, and editorial platforms.

The website does not operate an online store or process online payments. Artwork sales, where available, are conducted separately through KEENE.GALLERY.

We are committed to respecting the privacy of visitors, collectors, galleries, museums, researchers, and other individuals who engage with the website.

Submitting an artwork inquiry does not automatically constitute consent to receive marketing or promotional communications.


Personal information is used only for purposes supported by an appropriate legal basis under applicable privacy law.

Contact Forms and Correspondence

TobiasKeene.art uses WordPress contact-form functionality to facilitate inquiries.

When visitors submit a contact form, the information provided may be transmitted by email to authorized representatives and may also be retained within the website's administrative systems.

Submitted information is used to respond to the inquiry, maintain relevant correspondence, and address legitimate administrative or professional requirements.

Contact-form submissions are not automatically added to promotional mailing lists.

Visitors should avoid submitting sensitive personal or financial information unless specifically requested through an appropriate secure channel.
