Jamie Primrose Updated Privacy Notice, 25th May 2018

We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy and the security of your personal information. The way we conduct our business and your data complies with the new GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) from 25th May 2018 onwards – new European laws on privacy, data protection, security and our actions are always fair, honest and transparent in accordance with these as you would expect. This includes PECR (The EC’s Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) for email.

This Privacy Notice sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide us will be processed by us as you would reasonably expect. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it. If you have any questions, please get in touch – our full contact details are at the end of this Privacy Notice.

By actively giving us your data for specific purposes or visiting either our main ‘original’ paintings website www.jamieprimrose.com or our limited edition prints online gallery shop.comjamieprimrose.com/shop you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this notice.

For the purpose of the Data Protection ‘Act’ 1998 (the Act), the data controller is: Jamie Primrose, 58 Arden Street Edinburgh, EH9 1BN (Partnership: Jamie & Mari Primrose).


Introduction:

The GDPR sets out legal basis, which we or other companies can rely on to process your data in different circumstances:

i. Consent:

In certain situations, you give us your consent e.g. when you personally, knowingly, freely and specifically by affirmative action write your details (name, address and or email address) in our Mailing List Book at one of our Jamie Primrose exhibitions or make verbally request: to receive future Jamie Primrose exhibition invitations by a certain method (by post, email, or both, depending on the specific information you choose to give us). This ‘consent’ is always is dated/fully recorded.

Example: We use ‘consent’ as the lawful basis for our email communications with you.

ii. Contract:

When you give us your details for us to fulfil an order or job i.e. you give us an address for us to arrange delivery of an ‘original’ painting or print in Edinburgh, UK-wide, or further afield.

iii. Legitimate Interest:

In certain situations we may use the data you give us for our business interests (commercial) via direct marketing (to send you our Jamie Primrose exhibition invitations), after you have expressed an interest in attending our exhibitions/viewing and/or purchasing our artworks. We may send you these exhibition details, which you would reasonable expect, with minimal privacy impact or impact on your rights, freedoms or interests. e.g. We may send exhibition invitations to you by post, based on your past exhibition attendance, requests you have made to view artworks in person or enquiries made about our artwork prices (originals or limited edition prints).


The data you may give us:

You may choose to give us your data and we then retain only your name, home (or business) address and postcode and/or email address for the purpose of receiving future details of our Jamie Primrose exhibitions (i.e. invitations), or for us to respond to a specific artwork enquiry for prices and images etc. and internal administrative purposes. (If you give us your telephone number, this is used only for contractual basis only e.g. artwork deliveries).

No further data is held by us i.e. no sensitive data or transactional (payment) data.


How you give us your data directly:

1. By visiting a Jamie Primrose exhibition (usually The Dundas St. Gallery, Edinburgh, although other venues may apply in Edinburgh/London from time to time) you may freely fill out your details in our Mailing List Book (to receive exhibition invitations in future*) or on our Exhibition Sheets (with a specific artwork enquiry). This written consent is often strengthened through additional verbal confirmation between you and us, as we check you know what channels/communications you are consenting to. You write your specific details down pertaining to the way you wish to be contacted for a certain purpose.

2. By filling out your details with an artwork enquiry on one of our two websites (mentioned above) in the form of a contact form request.

3. By sending a direct email to us showing interest and requesting information, prices, images etc. on specific Jamie Primrose artworks (‘Client’ activity) or for requesting exhibition invitations having seen wider advertising/publicity about an exhibition.

4. By verbally giving your details over the telephone requesting artwork information for ‘Client activity’ or a home/studio viewing with the artist or to be sent information.

5. By sending details in an email or by telephone to arrange a home paintings viewing visit by Jamie Primrose or arranging a visit to his Stockbridge studio to view/purchase artworks.

6. By filling out your details online when purchasing a print on our limited editions prints online shop website (mentioned above).

7. By actively filling out a Sales Receipt on purchasing ‘original’ paintings or limited edition prints either: at one of our Jamie Primrose exhibitions, in the artist’s Stockbridge studio or in your own home.

*You would only actively do this if you wish this specific information and by the details you give us, you are requesting details through a specific channel of communication (email or post or both) as signage within the Mailing List Book itself and nearby, states this clearly.


What we use your data for:

1. To fulfil a request from you and to provide you with details on artworks (prices, send images), exhibitions or other services you may ask for from us e.g. arranging painting viewings in the artist’s studio, in your own home.

2. To provide you with information on similar artworks, exhibitions or services that you have already purchased or enquired about when these become available/as appropriate.

3. Internal administrative purposes to carry out our business activities when you are purchasing artwork/s i.e. sales receipts, address sheets for shipping artwork, hardcopy Client files and in our secure database.

4. To fulfil obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us to fulfil an artwork/s purchase – e.g. communicating about delivery/shipping dates and times.

5. Direct marketing campaigns (postal) – we use your name, address and postcode for the purpose of communicating through postal mailing campaigns about our Jamie Primrose exhibitions, with opt outs available: Clients, Enquirers, Past exhibition attendees & enquirers, plus other individuals recommended

6. Direct marketing campaigns (email) – we use your name and email address for email campaigns through MailChimp – to send communications inviting you to our Jamie Primrose exhibitions:

Consent (with notes accordingly to highlight ‘consent’ acquired in line with GDPR/PECR*):

a. Clients – having purchased Jamie Primrose artworks in the past (soft ‘opt in’*)

b. Enquirers – having enquired about our Jamie Primrose artworks/prices – with a view to purchasing (soft ‘opt-in’*)

c. Past exhibition attendees (active ‘consent’ freely given e.g. Mailing List Book sign up for email communication*, opt out available)

d. Past exhibition enquirers (request for details on exhibitions given through a variety of channels*, then ‘consent’ sought for future exhibitions, with opt out available)

N.B. Clear opt outs given at time of data-capture accordingly as appropriate and on communications, through both channels (postal and email) thereafter.


The length of time we may keep your data:

We will keep your data for as long as reasonably necessary, based on the context, circumstances and your expectations – from your initial artwork or exhibition enquiry, or your exhibition attendance. This may be the context of when/where your consent was given for the processing of your data by a specific channel, or based on your expressed wishes you have communicated to us (in an informal situation e.g. one of our Jamie Primrose exhibitions), or your expectations about our artworks/exhibitions in the future and e.g. any wishes to be invited to exhibitions indefinitely going forward (which forms the basis of our data processing/direct marketing). Due to the long lead times between our exhibitions, our lengthy artwork creation and purchase sales cycles and past Client/Attendee experience, going forward we may refresh and ask for re-consent by email if no engagement at all every 36 months, although slightly longer depending on original engagement as we think appropriate. Otherwise we will continue to process your data if there is engagement – ie. opening emails, clicking on links, communicating with us, attending our exhibitions, enquiring and purchasing as you would reasonably expect.


Disclosure / sharing data:

Please be rest assured that we never share, rent or sell your data directly to third parties.

However, we may disclose your personal details to our own trusted third-party suppliers, who provide services on our behalf and as part of a transaction that you have agreed to, in the contractual running of our business i.e. purchasing artworks. Please note:

1. We only use trusted artwork couriers for UK or overseas artwork shipments and we may give our courier companies your address and a telephone number at destination, for you/your recipient (with consent given) to receive a print / artwork delivery accordingly, following a purchase.

2. When you place an order on our limited editions online gallery shop, your credit card details are collected by our third-party payment processor – ‘Sage Pay’, who have secure online processing methods and are PCI compliant to help protect you against fraud. We do not store/retain any credit card data ourselves.

3. We use MailChimp for email campaigns – fully GDPR compliant and with their own Privacy Policy.

4. If you click from our website/s or social media sites (in the future) onto links from other companies, (which they may contain in the future from time to time), and you follow the link to other websites, then we have no control over their data policy and then they may collect and share your data (as this would fall under their Private Notices/Policies). We therefore do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies/notices or the actions of these companies. Please check each individual privacy policy/notice before you submit any personal data to these websites.

5. If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, to protect the rights, property or safety of Jamie Primrose, our Clients or others, we may disclose your details. This includes exchanging with other companies and organisations for the purpose of fraud prevention.


Security & Protection:

1. We take precautions to keep your data private and secure. Your data is held securely with password protected files. It is not transferred or stored outwith Jamie Primrose (Fine Art), nor processed by anyone else other than by Mari Primrose. We take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

2. All your information is stored by us on our secure server. Payments on our limited edition prints online shop are carried out by ‘Sage Pay’ (as mentioned above). As the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure, although we do our best to protect your personal data, we therefore cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted on our website/s, any transmission is at your own risk.

You have the right to rectify any mistakes in the data we hold and the right to access any data we hold on you at any time. If you are a Client and a postal mailing invitation is returned through Royal Mail as ‘goneaway’ this will be deleted off our postal mailing list in accordance with data protection regulations. We will continue to email you (if you have already consented and given us your email address accordingly).
