We use personal information to: process and fulfil your orders; communicate about purchases, shipments, returns, and customer service; deliver, maintain, and improve mondoir.art; verify identity and prevent fraud; comply with legal, accounting, and tax obligations; and (with your consent) send marketing emails about new artworks, exhibitions, and gallery news. You can unsubscribe from marketing at any time using the link in any email.

Cookies
mondoir.art uses cookies and similar technologies for essential site functionality (login, cart, checkout), security, performance, analytics, and — where you consent — personalised marketing. You can control cookies via your browser settings; disabling essential cookies may break checkout and account features.
International Transfers
Mondoir is established in the United Arab Emirates and serves a global customer base. Personal information may be processed in jurisdictions whose data-protection laws differ from yours, including the UAE, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Where required by law, we put in place appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) for cross-border transfers.
Your Rights
Subject to applicable law (including the EU/UK GDPR and the California CCPA), you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal data, and to object to certain processing. You may withdraw marketing consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email gm@mondoir.art and we will respond within 30 days. If you believe we have not addressed a concern adequately, you may lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described, to comply with our legal and tax obligations, and to enforce our agreements. Order and tax records are typically retained for a minimum of 7 years per UAE law. Marketing data is deleted within 30 days of unsubscribe.
Security
mondoir.art is served exclusively over HTTPS with industry-standard encryption. Payments are processed by PCI-DSS-compliant providers. We restrict internal access to personal data to employees and contractors who need it to do their jobs, and we use strong authentication and audit logging.
