1. Introduction
I am simmoart, and I am committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains how I handle your information when you visit my site, buy my art, or sign up for my updates.
2. What Data I Collect
I only collect the information necessary to provide my services to you. This includes:
Identity Data: Your name.
Contact Data: Your email address, shipping address, and phone number.
Transaction Data: Details about the art you’ve purchased and payments made (though I never see your full credit card details; these are handled by my payment processor).
3. How I Use Your Data
I use your information to:
Fulfill Orders: To pack and ship your original art or prints.
Communicate: To answer questions about commissions or send shipping updates.
Legal Obligations: To keep records for UK tax purposes (HMRC).
Marketing (Optional): Only if you have explicitly opted-in to my newsletter.
4. Who I Share Data With
I don’t sell your data. I only share it with essential "third-party processors" to run my business, such as:
Payment Providers: (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) to process your payment.
Delivery Services: (e.g., Royal Mail, DPD) so they can get your art to your door.
Website/Email Hosts: (e.g., Ionos, MailerLite) to host my site and send emails.
5. Data Retention
I keep your order information for as long as required by UK law for tax and accounting purposes (usually 6 years). If you sign up for my newsletter, I keep your email until you unsubscribe.
6. Your Rights
Under UK law, you have the right to:
Ask for a copy of the data I hold about you.
Ask me to correct or delete your data.
Withdraw your consent for marketing at any time.
7. Contact Me
If you have any questions about this policy, please contact me.
