GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)

This Policy will explain when and why I collect personal information, and how I use it and keep it secure. By using this website, you are agreeing to be bound by this Policy.

You are welcome to browse this website without the need to provide any personal data. Processing of some personal data will be necessary in the event of purchasing images.

Who is Collecting and can Access the Information?

I am the controller, and sole person with access, to any data that passes through my website. I will not share, sell or rent your information to any third parties for any marketing purposes.

What type of information is collected?

For analytics, I may anonymously collect your IP address, details on whether you are browsing via a computer, tablet or phone, which country you are in, which website pages are visited, and how long you stayed.

When you make an enquiry, or purchase products, I will take direct information from you, as to your name, email address and details of your requirements.

If you purchase a product from me using an online payment method, your card information is held by a third party payment processor (stripe.com) who specialise in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions. I will only receive notifications that a transaction has taken place, with the name of the payee, the date and the amount paid.

Direct Marketing

I send out an occasional newsletter. You will only be sent this if you have subscribed to it. Outside of the newsletter, I will only (personally) contact you with regards to any enquiry you make, or with regards to any order in progress.

Security Precautions

When you provide any personal information, I will take steps to secure it against loss or misuse, and my website is SSL-protected. However, as stringently as I will work to protect your personal data, information shared over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so you do transmit your personal information to me at your own risk.

Any sensitive information such as credit or debit card details is encrypted and protected with 128 Bit encryption on SSL by the third party responsible to taking payments.
