Mandatory information

Every public website must make it possible to identify the person responsible for its publication, its host and the means of contacting them. OIMAP applies this rule with particular rigour, because it publishes information that commits States and art market professionals.

This information is accessible from the footer of every page. It is written in plain terms, without references to needlessly technical texts.

The status of the Organisation

OIMAP is an intergovernmental organisation created by a founding treaty, the 2007 Statutes. It has international legal personality and enjoys, on the territory of its Member States, the privileges necessary for the exercise of its missions.

It is therefore not a commercial company. The rules that apply to its site derive from its own texts, supplemented by the European data protection standards with which it has voluntarily aligned itself.

User rights

Any user may request access to the data concerning them, as well as their rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and portability. They may also object to certain processing, notably that based on the legitimate interest of the Organisation.

These rights are exercised free of charge with the data protection officer, at dpo@oimap.example. A reply is provided within one month (indicative).

Intellectual property

The texts, graphics, logos and databases of the site belong to OIMAP or are used with the permission of their holders. Reproduction for personal or educational use is permitted, provided that the source is cited and the content is not altered.

Any commercial reuse requires written authorisation from the General Secretariat. Images of works belong to their authors or their successors in title.
