This Privacy Brief outlines how Clayward Atelier collects, uses, and stores limited personal information from users and visitors in line with UK data protection law and the UK GDPR.
1. Data We Collect
We gather basic data when you voluntarily contact us through a form or email. This includes your name, phone number, and email address. We also record minimal anonymous information such as your browser type and visit length through analytics tools.
2. Purpose of Use
We use your details solely to respond to your messages, handle session enquiries, and improve site functionality. No automated decision-making or profiling is carried out. Data is never sold, rented, or transferred to third parties for marketing.
3. Storage and Retention
Personal data from contact forms is stored securely within encrypted UK-based servers. It is deleted after six months unless an active enquiry continues. Access is restricted to our small administrative team.
4. Your Rights
You may request to see, correct, or remove your personal information at any time. To exercise these rights, write to [email protected]. We will respond within one calendar month in accordance with the law.
5. Legal Basis
Our lawful basis for processing is legitimate interest: responding to your enquiry or providing requested information. If we ever rely on consent, it will be clear, optional, and can be withdrawn at any moment.
6. Cookies and Analytics
This site uses only essential cookies for proper display and form reliability. Analytics cookies, if enabled, gather anonymised data on visits. You may refuse non-essential cookies through the banner or browser settings. For details, see our Cookie Choices.
7. Security
We maintain technical and organisational measures to protect all data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. Data transfers use HTTPS encryption.
