Privacy
An individual’s privacy is important to us and we respect an individual’s right to privacy.
How?
We do not seek to identify an individual user of this site – see cookies.
In order to enable a functionality; such as ‘comments’ on a blog page, or to enable a facility; such as email, information provided to us by a user will have to be shared with a third party provider; such as the company providing our email solution. We, like you, have to trust that third party providers respect the privacy of data that is shared with them.
Any ‘comments’ on this site, now after moderation, will make public the comment posted by a user, however any email address supplied will remain private.
We do not make public, share or make available, with the exception of information required to fulfil a function, any information a user makes available to us.
We do not sell any information provided.
This includes, and is not limited to, any email addresses, names or content provided to us from the Hand Printed Photos website, however it is supplied.
Meaning?
The content of any messages to Hand Printed Photos will not be shared, for example in a blog post. As another example, we do not share any details of a user who expresses an interest in owning one of our prints.
Data
Hand Printed Photos or third parties working on our behalf are required to handle, use and sometimes retain specific data provided by a user.
Why?
For instance, we require an email address to be given when a user contacts us using the Contact Us page. This is to enable us to reply to the user, if needed. Alternatively, if a user registers an interest in owning one of our prints, such as here, we or our third party providers require information from the user, such as a valid email address. This is to enable us to communicate with the user with information about the prints’ availability.
Meaning?
Data provided by a user that is required by Hand Printed Photos or by any of our third party providers, will:
- be the minimum required for the purpose;
- will only be used for the original purpose;
- will be secure;
- will be deleted when no longer required.
A user can request to see the data or information they have provided to us.
Hand Printed Photos or third party providers (to the best of our knowledge) do not make any data available to other parties, i.e. the data is not sold, given away or redistributed.
GDPR
In order to comply with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) we ask for explicit ‘opt-in’ to allow us to use data and/or information provided by the user, for the purpose requested by the user.
We have two categories of data/personal information usage:
- Email ‘Conversations’ Permission
- Email Marketing Permission.
Email ‘Conversations’ Permission will opt a user in to allowing us to reply to the user via our email about their enquiry and enable us to conduct a ‘conversation’ via email.
Email Marketing Permission will opt a user in to allowing us to send via email: promotion(s); information and/or update(s) about the product or service opted-in to.
