It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.
This privacy notice is sub-divided under the following headings:
1. HOW DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION ABOUT YOU?
Most of the personal data we process about you comes directly from you (whether face to face, over the telephone, on a paper form, by email or online).
For example, we collect data from you directly:
- when you express an interest in buying an artwork from our website;
- when you purchase an artwork;
- when you subscribe to receive our newsletter;
- when you ask us to send you information, including about artists and their works.
Collection from other sources
We may also obtain information about you and/or the artworks that you own or wish to buy or sell or collect from other third party sources; for example:
- Identity and contact data, when someone introduces you to us (e.g. because they believe an artist or work may interest you);
- Identity and contact data, when we research artworks and we find information about you in sources such as newspaper articles, exhibition catalogues, public auction results, or one of our contacts gives us feedback in relation to artworks or persons they have been told about.
We may receive:
- Contact, transaction and financial data from providers of technical, payment and delivery services;
- Identity and contact data from publicly availably sources
- Usage data (being information about how you use our website and/or about recipients of our mailshots) from third parties, such as Google Analytics.
We also collect, use and share aggregated data, such as statistical or demographic data, for any purpose (Aggregated Data). Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your usage data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature.

We use this information for our internal system administration, to administer our website, and to monitor and improve the user experience.
2. WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE PROCESS AND WHY?
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to do so.
Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
- Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you;
- Where it is necessary for our Legitimate Interests, or those of a third party, and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests;
- Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation;
- With your consent.
