Privacy Policy

How I use and store any data that is collected.

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or (in future) make a purchase from www.richardparsons.art (the “Site”).

 

PERSONAL INFORMATION I COLLECT

When you visit the Site, it automatically collects certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, it collects information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. This automatically-collected information is referred to as “Device Information.”

 

The site collects Device Information using the following technologies:

– “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

– “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

– “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

 

Additionally, in future, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, I will collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, and phone number.  This information is referred to as “Order Information.”

I will not receive or store any credit card information. This information is taken and processed on my behalf by the servers of my payment gateways.

Where “Personal Information” is mentioned in this Privacy Policy, this refers to both about Device Information and Order Information.

 

HOW DO I USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

I use any Order Information that I collect generally to fulfil any orders placed through the Site (including arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations).  Additionally, I may use this Order Information to:

–       Communicate with you

–       Screen orders for potential risk or fraud

–       When in line with the preferences you have shared with me, provide you with information or advertising relating to my products or services.

 

Any Device Information that is collected is used to help me screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize my Site (for example, by generating analytics about how my customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of my marketing and advertising campaigns).

 

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

I may sometime share your Personal Information with third parties to help me use your Personal Information, as described above.  For example, I use Mailchimp, who are fully GDPR compliant. You can read more about how Mailchimp use your information here –  https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy

 

Finally, I may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information I receive, or to otherwise protect my rights.

If you are a European resident, you have the right to access personal information I hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact me through the contact information below.

 

Additionally, if you are a European resident I note that I am processing your information in order to fulfil contracts I might have with you (for example if you make an order through the Site), or otherwise to pursue my legitimate business interests listed above.  Additionally, please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including to Canada and the United States.

 

DATA RETENTION

When you place an order with me, I will maintain your Order Information for my records unless and until you ask me to delete this information.
