PERSONAL DATA

Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, “the Data Protection Legislation”) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’.

Personal data is any information about a person that enables that person to be identified. Personal data covers information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.

YOUR RIGHTS

Under the Data Protection Legislation, you have the following rights, which we as a company will always comply with to uphold:

• The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data. This Privacy Policy should cover everything you need to know, but you can always contact us by email to find out more. Please email us at dm@frenchman.gallery

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you.

• The right to have your personal data rectified if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete.

• The right to be forgotten, i.e. the right to have your personal data deleted or otherwise disposed.

• The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data.

• The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.

• The right to withdraw consent. This means that, if we are relying on your consent as the legal basis for using your personal data, you are free to withdraw that consent at any time.

• The right to data portability. This means that, if you have provided personal data to us directly, we are using it with your consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business in many cases.

• Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not use your personal data in this way.

For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us by email at dm@frenchman.gallery

It is important that your personal data is kept accurate and up-to-date. If any of the personal data we hold about you changes, please keep us informed as long as we have that data.

Further information about your rights can also be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.

However we would welcome the opportunity to resolve your concerns ourselves, so we kindly ask you to contact us first by email at dm@frenchman.gallery

PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

Our site collects certain information automatically, including your IP address, the type of browser you are using, and certain other non-personal data about your computer or device such as your operating system type or version, and display resolution. If you sign up to our mailing list, create an account or place an order with us, we will collect additional data including your name, email address and shipping/billing address as required to fulfill your order to you.

If you send us an email or are in contact with us via telephone or messaging platforms, we may collect your name, your email address, and any other information which you choose to give us. For the purposes of the Data Protection Legislation, we are the data controller and responsible for such personal data.

The lawful basis under the Data Protection Legislation that allows us to use such information is article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR which allows us to process personal data when it is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests, including in this case, the proper operation and functionality of our site, provision of opted-in marketing services, payment processing & order fulfillment. 

USE OF PERSONAL DATA

Where we collect personal data, it will be processed and stored securely, for no longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. We will comply with our obligations and safeguard your rights under the Data Protection Legislation at all times.

SHARING PERSONAL DATA

We will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes, subject to the following exceptions.

If we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or assets, your personal data may be transferred to a third party. Any new owner of our business may continue to use your personal data in the same way that we have used it, as specified in this Privacy Policy (i.e. to communicate with you).

In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.

For proper performance of our business operations and services, for example when necessary to process your order, to ensure the safety and security of our website or to market to you using trusted third party vendors.

ACCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

If you desire to know which personal data we hold from you, you can submit a request for all details of that personal data and for a copy if needed (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.

All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent either by mail at dm@frenchman.gallery or postal address; Frenchman Gallery, Boomstraat 41B, 1015 LB Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

There is no charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.

We will respond to your subject access request within 21 days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. We aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time.
