1.) What Type of Information We Have
By providing your personal information to us, you fully understand and clearly consent to the collection and processing of such personal information. This collection and processing will comply with the terms of this Policy.
We may currently collect and process some of the following information, which falls under two main areas:
- personal identifiers, contacts and characteristics (for example, your name, email address, phone number and postal address)
- data concerning traffic on our website, location data, weblogs and other communication data. (Please note, we do not use this information to identify you personally).
2.) How We Get The Information and Why We Have It:
It is your choice to provide us with your personal information.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are:
- Your consent. You are able to remove your consent at any time. You can do this by contacting us at enquiries@jackthompsonart.com
- We have a contractual obligation.
- We have a legitimate interest.
Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you. For example,
- When you contact us to enquire about our products and services, and/or, request a quotation, or when you enter into a contractual agreement with us.
- We may use this information in the following ways:
- To follow up on such enquiries, or to notify you, where necessary, of any changes to our service and/or product provision.
- To fulfil our contractual obligations with you.
- When you use of our website.
- We may use this information for legitimate interests, for example, ensuring content from our website is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer.
- We may also use it for our own internal marketing analysis, for example, to measure the amount of traffic to our Site.
- We may also use this information in order to obtain reviews of our products and services, via third-party review platforms, such as Trustpilot.
- Further details on how and why we get information from our website, are outlined in Section 3 of the Policy.
We may also receive your personal information indirectly, from the following sources, in the following scenarios:
- From online marketplaces, galleries (online and otherwise), Art Agencies or theatres who represent, and/or, work closely with our Company. For example, you may have placed an order directly through such third parties for one of our products or services, and we may then receive your personal information, in order to either fulfill our contractual obligations with you, or to assist them with fulfilling their or our contractual obligations with you.
- An example of this could be if you were to make an enquiry about, or purchase one of our products or services through an online marketplace such as ‘Artsy.net’, who may facilitate communication or payment between you and our Company in connection with a product. Your enquiry, and/or your postal name and address and order details may be passed onto us, and your purchased product may be subsequently shipped either directly from our Company premises, or our trusted fine art printer, representing galleries, or agents, in order to fulfil either our, their, or both our contractual obligation(s) with you.
Please be sure to read both the Privacy Policy, and the Terms and Conditions of any third-party marketplaces, Galleries or otherwise who sell, (or who may purport to sell), or facilitate the sale of our products, as their Policies and Terms and Conditions may differ from our own. It is your choice to whom you provide your information, and for what purpose. We therefore do not accept any responsibility or liability for any breach of privacy, loss, damage, effect or otherwise whatsoever when you provide your information to anyone other than our Company.
- Another scenario in which we may also receive your personal information indirectly may be when you may have specifically asked a mutual friend, acquaintance, associate or colleague that your details be passed on to our Company, so that we may in turn contact you regarding an enquiry (or similar) you may have relating to our products or services.
Please note, we take the upmost care in proceeding with such requests of contact, ensuring the reliability of the source, so that we can be satisfied it was indeed yourself who had provided this, and any accompanying request, with your full and free consent.
Please be aware that if we do not respond to such requests, it is out of care and respect and without discrimination.
Equally, if we find that your information has been passed to us without your consent, we will remove this information from our records and make further enquiries regarding the reliability of its’ source and if necessary, in line with our Company Policy and ethics, we will cease trading with that source.
