Your privacy is managed with the same structural discipline as the artwork created at the easel. This Privacy Policy outlines how I collect, utilize, and protect your personal information when you interact with Cutsforth Artistry (https://cutsforthartistry.co.uk)
1. Information Gathered by the Studio
I only collect the baseline structural data required to process your acquisitions, evaluate commission requests, or fulfill newsletter communications:
- Identity Data: Your name, billing address, shipping address, and email address.
- Commission Parameters: Text details, spatial destinations, and reference asset photographs uploaded via the vetting application form.
- Communication History: Records of any digital correspondence regarding layouts, quotes, or invoices.
2. How Your Data is Utilizes
Your data is handled entirely by me alone for the following explicit purposes:
- To execute technical auditing on your private commission applications.
- To securely coordinate shipping and transit logistics for your artwork.
- To dispatch studio updates, collection, and journal logs via MailPoet (only if you have explicitly opted into the registry subscription).
3. Data Preservation & Asset Storage
- Third-Party Services: I never sell, trade, or compromise your data. To run a modern studio, I utilize verified, secure infrastructure partners to handle specific actions (such as MailPoet for email networks, Google Search Console for performance analytics).
- Secure Payment Processing: All digital invoices and transaction settlements are handled securely via SumUp. The studio does not store or see your credit/debit card numbers. Your payment details are encrypted and processed directly by SumUp in full compliance with PCI-DSS financial security standards.
- Image Asset: Reference photos uploaded for anatomical vetting are stored securely within the private studio archive and are never shared publicly or used online without your direct, written consent.
- Retention: I store transactional records for as long as legally mandated by UK tax authorities, or until you request the purging of your email from the newsletter registry.
4. Your Rights Under UK GDPR
As a UK collector, you retain full rights over your data. You may contact Leane@CutsforthArtistry.co.uk at any time to request access to the information held about you, correct and historical discrepancies, or fully withdraw your information from the studio database.
