Rights & Privacy
SANTOO / PAN YAO
1. About this website
SANTOO is an artist-led practice initiated by Pan Yao, centered on painting and extending into exhibitions, sound, writing, and independent research. This website is operated by Pan Yao.
2. Authorship and rights
Rights in paintings, images, text, sound, and collaborative works belong to their respective creators or rights holders, as stated in the credits and applicable agreements. Third-party resources and software remain subject to their own licenses.
3. Browsing, quotation, and reuse
The website is intended for viewing art, reading, research, and professional inquiries. Except where permitted by law or a specific license, reproduction, distribution, adaptation, or commercial use requires authorization from the relevant rights holder. Openly licensed research follows the license on its original publication page.
4. Necessary website functions
The website has no visitor accounts or submission forms. Browser local storage remembers language and privacy choices. Privacy choices are retained for 180 days unless cleared or changed. Temporary session storage supports page transitions. These necessary functions remain available when optional analytics is declined.
On a first visit, a country or region hint supplied by the hosting platform may select a language: Japanese for Japan, Traditional Chinese for mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao, and English elsewhere. A manual language choice takes priority. If the hint is unavailable, browser language is used. This language feature does not create an optional analytics record or send IP addresses to an additional geolocation provider. Only the automatic language is cached in the current tab for up to six hours.
5. Optional visit analytics
Optional analytics is sent only after you allow it and when the analytics service is enabled. Records may include the connection IP address; broad device, browser, and operating-system categories; language; country when available; referral website origin; viewed pages; time; and artwork opens. A random identifier links events within the current tab session. No advertising identifiers, cross-site tracking, or device fingerprinting are used.
6. Purpose, access, and retention
Analytics is used to understand visits, improve presentation and compatibility, and review unusual activity. Raw records have a 30-day query window; expired records are deleted when the service next processes a request. Daily aggregate counts without IP addresses or session identifiers are kept for 12 months. Records and exports require owner authorization. Hosting access logs and provider backups are separate and follow the configured provider policies.
7. Your choices and inquiries
You can allow or decline optional analytics and change your choice using Privacy settings. Withdrawing consent stops future optional analytics; existing records follow the retention policy. For access or deletion inquiries, contact [email protected] with the approximate visit time and enough context to locate the relevant record. If you email us, the information you provide is used to handle that inquiry and related correspondence.
8. External resources and services
Fonts and animation resources may be loaded from Google Fonts and cdnjs. These requests, website hosting, and security services may process IP addresses and technical request information as part of delivery or security, separately from optional analytics. External destinations such as ORCID, Zenodo, DOI links, and Paper Republic apply their own terms and privacy policies when visited.
9. Updates and contact
This statement will be updated when the website or its data practices change. Contact for rights and privacy: [email protected].
