Privacy Policy
Welcome to the information on the Rita Cariad Art data privacy guidelines.
I am compliant in handling the information you share with me and here is what I do in a little more detail:
Personal data collected
I collect your name(s) so that we can have an ongoing dialogue, I collect your email address so that I can correspond with you, and I collect your phone number(s) so that I can call you if I need to get hold of you i.e. returning your calls, asking an important question about your commission and/or purchase of my art, etc. I also collect your postal address so that I can add this information to invoices and postal correspondence including sending your art to you by courier.
All of this is necessary information to enable the business to function well.
How I collect and keep your personal data
If you contacted me via my contact form on my website, this comes through to me into my email inbox which is accessed via a secure password. This password doesn’t contain any link to me. When you correspond with Rita Cariad Art, your email will be stored in the client database which is only accessible through one computer. If you enquire but don’t buy from me or place a commission with me all of your data will be deleted from my client database after the appropriate period has ended.
How I use cookies
A cookie in this instance is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences. I use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps me to analyse information about web page traffic and improve my website in order to tailor it to Client needs. This information is only used for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
Cookies help me to provide you with a better website by enabling me to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives me access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with me. You can of course choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer.
This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.
Links to other websites
My website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave my website, you should note that I do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, you alone are responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.
Right of confirmation, access, rectification and erasure
If you have any questions about how your personal data is handled, please do just send me an email and I will explain how it all works and my process. I’m more than happy to show you the information I hold on you and you will be unsurprised to know that it is only information you have given me willingly.
If you’d like me to delete all your personal data with me, you have the right to request it and this request will be actioned within 10 working days.
Use of your data
To summarise; I will use your email to email you about your commission, purchase, or in response to an enquiry or question that you have sent to me.
I do not share Client information with any third parties other than third party delivery businesses who will deliver your artwork. At most this will be name, address, contact number, and if requested your safe delivery space.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
