Privacy Policy

Overview

akito.dog is a personal art gallery. This policy explains what information the site handles and your choices. We aim to collect as little as possible.

Information we collect

From visitors, we do not require an account and do not require you to provide personal information to browse. The site stores a small preference cookie for your light/dark theme and a browser-local setting for your preferred gallery layout. It does not set advertising or third-party analytics cookies by default.

When the site owner signs in to manage the site, an administrative session cookie is set for the owner only.

Our hosting and content-delivery provider (Cloudflare) may process limited technical data such as IP address and request metadata to serve and secure the site. This is standard server operation, not tracking by us.

Some sites turn on an optional built-in analytics feature. If this site has visitor analytics enabled, it keeps aggregate counters in its own database to understand how the site is used: how often pages are viewed, which site referred a visit, visitor country, device type (desktop, mobile, or tablet), and how often the download button is pressed. These are counters, not profiles: they use no cookies, store no IP addresses, and keep no records tied to an individual visitor, and none of it is shared with any other site or service. The page-view, referrer, country, and device counters are deleted by a weekly cleanup once they are about 35 days old. The download count is kept as a simple running total.

Artwork and third-party attribution

akito.dog displays artwork and attributes it to the artists who created it, which may include their names, handles, and links to their profiles. Fursuit photographs may be attributed to their photographers.

If you are an artist, photographer, or other rights holder featured here and want your attribution corrected or your work removed, contact us and we will act promptly.

How information is used

Preference cookies are used only to remember your display choices. Any technical data handled by our provider is used to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the site.

We do not sell or share personal information, and we do not use it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Service providers

We rely on infrastructure providers to run the site, which may include Cloudflare (hosting, CDN, image storage), on some sites an image-upload provider, and, where email is configured, an email delivery provider (Resend) that processes the site owner's account email for messages such as password resets. They process data only to provide these services.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA), you may have the right to know what personal information is held about you, to request its deletion or correction, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. Because we do not sell or share personal information, there is no "opt out of sale/sharing" to exercise.

To make a request, contact us. You can reach us at hello@akito.dog. We will respond within the time frame required by applicable law.

Data retention and security

We keep information only as long as needed to operate the site, and we use reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always the one published on this page.
