Depending on the circumstances, I rely on the following lawful bases.

Contract

Where processing is necessary to fulfil an order, manage a workshop booking, provide an online course or otherwise deliver a service you have requested.

Legal obligation

Where I need to process or retain information to comply with legal requirements, including tax, accounting and other regulatory obligations.

5. Who I share your information with

I do not sell your personal information to third parties.

I may share relevant personal information with trusted third-party service providers where necessary to operate my business and provide my services.

These may include:

Wix

My website is hosted and operated using Wix. Wix may process personal information submitted through my website, including contact enquiries and information relating to purchases.

MailerLite

I currently use MailerLite to manage newsletter subscriptions and send marketing emails. This includes storing subscriber names and email addresses and, where enabled, recording interactions with newsletters, such as email opens and link clicks.

I may change my email marketing provider in the future.

PayPal and Wix payment services

Payments for artwork, prints and workshops may be processed through Wix's payment facilities or PayPal. These providers process payment information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Online course platform

My online courses are provided through a separate third-party platform, which may process registration, account and payment information.

Delivery and postal services

I may share your name, delivery address and relevant order information with postal or courier companies to fulfil orders.

Professional advisers

I may share relevant information with professional advisers, such as accountants, where necessary for business administration and legal compliance.

Some of these organisations may act as data processors on my behalf, while others may act as independent data controllers.

Where third parties process personal information on my behalf, appropriate data protection arrangements will be in place.

Some service providers may process or store personal information outside the UK. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards will be used in accordance with applicable UK data protection law.

You can find further information about how these providers handle personal information in their own privacy policies:

6. Online courses and external platforms

My online art courses are provided through a separate third-party course platform.

When you purchase or access an online course, your personal information may be collected and processed by that platform to manage your registration, payment, account and access to course materials.

Payments for online courses will be made through the course platform or its chosen payment provider, rather than through my main website.

The course platform may have its own privacy policy explaining how it collects, stores and uses your information. I recommend reading that policy when registering for or purchasing a course.

I will only use the information made available to me by the course platform for legitimate purposes connected with providing and managing your course and communicating with you.

7. International customers

I welcome customers from the UK and overseas.

If you purchase artwork, prints or other products for delivery outside the UK, I will use your name, contact details and delivery address to arrange fulfilment and shipping.

Your information may need to be shared with postal, courier or delivery companies, including those operating internationally, to complete your order.

Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, appropriate data protection safeguards will be applied where required by law.

8. How long I keep your information

I only keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, taking account of legal, accounting and business requirements.

For example:

Enquiries: I keep correspondence for as long as necessary to deal with the enquiry and any relevant follow-up.
Artwork and print purchases: I retain order and transaction records for the periods required for business administration, accounting and legal obligations.
Workshop bookings: I retain booking and payment records for as long as necessary to administer the booking and meet any relevant legal and accounting requirements.
Online courses: I retain relevant customer and course information for as long as necessary to administer the course, provide access and meet legal obligations.
Newsletter subscriptions: I retain your information while you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, I will stop sending marketing emails and may retain limited information to ensure that I respect your request.
Website information: Technical and cookie-related information is retained in accordance with the settings and retention periods of the relevant website and service providers.

When personal information is no longer required, I will securely delete it or anonymise it where appropriate.

9. Cookies and website tracking

My website is hosted on Wix and may use cookies and similar technologies to ensure the website functions correctly and to improve your browsing experience.

These may include:

Essential cookies needed for the website to operate.
Functional cookies that remember preferences and settings.
Analytics cookies that help me understand how visitors use the website.
Marketing or advertising cookies, where applicable.

My website may also contain embedded content from third-party services, including social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook.

When you interact with embedded content, those third-party providers may collect information about your visit and use their own cookies or tracking technologies. Their privacy policies will apply to their collection and use of that information.

Where required by law, I will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies or using similar tracking technologies.

You can manage your cookie preferences through the website's cookie settings, where available. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

10. Keeping your information secure

I take reasonable steps to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

I use appropriate website and service providers and take reasonable precautions when handling personal information.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
