I was shocked to find that I can now be searched for through google and how so many of my portfolios along with the comments and videos I have watched come up in the google search engine.
I don't want my artwork displayed in this Online Gallery for all and sundry to look up my name and find all of the things mentioned above. I'm not a professional artist.
Does anyone know how (if at all possible) I can opt out of this???
Showing all this information without permission must be breaking some kind of Data Protection Act!
Apart from deleting all of my portfolios and account does any one know how I can stop Painter's on Line, making my work available to the WWweb?????
I don't want to be famous, I just want to paint for pleasure and get ideas and help from the artists within Painters on Line like we used to be able to do. :-( :-( :-(
