Hoffman Collection
Privacy policy
Last updated 9 October 2026
Who we are
The Hoffman Collection app and hoffmancollection.art are run by the Hoffman family to share the Hoffman Collection of South African and Canadian art. Questions about your data go to cody@wearegargantua.com.
What we collect
- Your account.Your email address, and your name if you choose to share it when you sign in with Apple or Google. If you use Apple's “Hide my email”, we only receive the relay address.
- Enquiries. When you enquire about a work, we keep the work, your name and email, and any message or phone number you add, so we can reply.
- Room photos.If you use “In your space”, the photo of your wall is sent to Anthropic's Claude to find the wall, its size, light and colours, and is stored privately with your account so we can send you your room with the pieces we suggested. We also keep any thumbs up or down you give.
- Sign-in records. One-time codes and session tokens needed to keep you signed in.
We don't use advertising, tracking, or analytics tools, and we don't sell or share your data for marketing.
How we use it
To sign you in, show you the collection, show pieces on your wall and suggest ones that suit it, reply to your enquiries, and keep the service secure. We only email you about your account, an enquiry you made, or (once, within 30 days) the room you photographed.
Who processes it
Your data is stored with Supabase (database and sign-in, hosted in the EU) and served through Vercel. Sign-in emails are sent with Resend, and app updates are delivered by Expo. Room photos are read by Anthropic's Claude API, which doesn't use them to train its models. If you sign in with Apple or Google, they confirm your identity under their own privacy policies.
How long we keep it
Your account data stays until you delete your account. Room photos are deleted after 30 days. Enquiries are kept as a record of the conversation unless you ask us to remove them.
Your choices
You can delete your account at any time in the app under Account → Delete account. This removes your account and sign-in details straight away. To see, correct, or remove anything else, email us and we'll respond within 30 days.
Children
The app isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date above, and tell you in the app if the change is significant.
