Legals

At Artstop Studios I am committed to protecting your privacy. When you interact with me by phone, mail, in person or online, I sometimes receive personal information about you. This policy tells you about how I collect, use and store your personal information.

If you have any queries about my privacy policy, please contact me on dan@artstop.co.uk

What this policy takes into account:

My privacy policy takes into account several legal instruments, including:

How I collect information about you:

I may collect and store information about you whenever you interact with me - for example, when you send me an email. I may also receive information about you from third parties e.g. for a specific purpose – but only if you have given them permission to share your information.

Links to other websites:

My website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave my site, you should note that I do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, I cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

What information I collect:

When you interact with me, I may ask you to give me your name, address, email address, and telephone number if this is needed.

Artstop Studios does not automatically capture and store any personal information about the individuals who access its website or web pages, unless this information is explicitly volunteered by the visitor. You can use my website without giving me any personal information and I won’t know who you are. I respect the privacy of every individual who visits this website and I am committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected.

I will strive to observe the law in all collections, processing and storage of subject data and will only use data in ways relevant to carrying out legitimate purposes and functions in a way that is not prejudicial to your interests.

Cookies and Data Privacy:

Cookies are used widely across the web. They are small files that are downloaded to your device along with the web pages that you visit. Cookies usually contain a unique identifier, which allows your computer to be recognised by the server that issued the cookie when you return to a website, or when you browse from page to page. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

How I use cookies:

Like most websites, I use cookies to help provide you with the best experience I can. A cookie in no way gives me access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with me.

The cookies I use help us to:

Managing Cookies & Acceptance:

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

If the settings on the browser software that you’re using to view this site are set to accept cookies, I take this, along with your continued use of our website, to mean that you accept my use of cookies. If you do not wish to use cookies from my site, or would like to remove them you can do so. For more information about cookies and how to adjust your browser settings to manage and control cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org, however, doing so may mean that my site will not work as you would expect.

Cookies Set by Third Parties:

These are cookies served by a third party service provider and are usually used to identify your computer when it visits another website, for example, when you log in to a social media site to share an article.

Some pages on my website may contain embedded content. You may be sent cookies from these websites. If you are not logged in to these services they will not be able to identify you, but they may collect anonymous usage information, such as number of times loaded or viewed.

I do not control the setting of cookies by third parties. For more information on what cookies these sites use and how to manage them we recommend that you check their websites.

How we use your information:

Artstop Studios will collect data from you to provide you with information, goods or services you have requested, and comply with our administrative duties, financial regulations and the law.

Personal details collected this way will only be used to provide you with information you would reasonably expect or have agreed to. We do not sell or rent information, and would not do so without asking you first. Except as required by law we will never share your details with other organisations to use for their own purposes.

Financial information:

When you pay for any of our services the information you give such as your debit or credit card number and contact information is provided so that the transaction can take place. This is done in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Security Standard and Artstop Studios does not retain your Credit or Debit Card details following the transaction.

Your consent:

By giving us your personal information you consent to me collecting and using that information in the ways that I describe in this privacy policy and/or that you have specifically consented to.

Marketing Consent:

I do not currently send any marketing information by e-mail or post or phone. Should this approach change in the future, I would not send any marketing information without your prior consent.

How I protect your personal information:

I take appropriate physical, electronic and managerial measures to ensure that I keep your information secure, accurate and up to date, and that I only keep it as long as is reasonable and necessary.

Although I use appropriate security measures once I have received your personal information, the transmission of information over the internet is never completely secure. I do my best to protect personal information, but I cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to my website, so any transmission is at the user’s own risk.

How to find out what personal information we hold about you:

You can request details of the personal information I hold about you under the Data Protection Act 1998.

How to change the personal information I hold about you:

If you want to update the information I hold for you, or you think any information I have about you is incorrect or incomplete, please get in touch as soon as possible at dan@artstop.co.uk.

My privacy policy may change from time to time, so please check this document occasionally to see if I have included any updates or changes, and that you are happy with them.
