We use your data to:

• manage your artist registration and participation
• send invoices and process Contribution payments
• communicate with you during the project
• fulfil legal requirements (e.g. tax retention, accounting)
• display and promote your work (with your permission)
• translate anonymized, collective insights into cultural intelligence reports. This process allows the Apanage Foundation to generate resources through strategic partnerships – within our corporate structure and with ecosystem partners – to fund artist stipends and protect artistic independence. We do not sell personal data; we share anonymized wisdom to foster a more conscious relationship between culture and the economy.
• maintain and improve our internal relationship management with artists, partners, and supporters (CRM), including reasonable segmentation and automation of communication workflows.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR – contract performance related to your participation in Apanage Days. In addition to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract performance), we rely on:– Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests) for documenting and communicating Apanage Days and the broader Apanage movement, and– Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent) where we explicitly ask for your permission (for example newsletter or optional features).

Submitted artworks may be used in connection with the communication and documentation of current and future editions of Apanage Days. This usage is based on the terms agreed upon during submission and is limited to non-commercial promotional purposes.
