1. Who we are

This website is owned and operated by Martin Barraud Ltd, Unit B7, Speldhurst Business Park, Langton Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent UK TN3 0NR (“I”, “me” or “we” in this policy).

ICO registration reference: ICO registration number TBA

I am the data controller for the personal information described in this policy, meaning I decide why and how it is used.

2. What personal data I collect

I collect different information depending on how you use this site.

Enquiries and contact forms.

When you use a contact or enquiry form, I collect the information you provide, typically your name, email

address, and the content of your message. If you enquire about a commission or a limited edition artwork, this

may also include phone number, delivery address, and details of the project you are enquiring about.

Commissions and purchases

If you go on to commission a piece or purchase a limited edition artwork, I collect the additional information

needed to fulfil that, such as billing and delivery address, and payment details, which are handled by our

payment processor rather than stored by me directly (see section 5).

The Artist Archive

Limited edition artworks are individually recorded in my private Artist Archive for provenance purposes. This includes the edition number, purchase date, and the owner's name and contact details. Archive records are kept privately; owner details are never published on the website.

If you choose to sign up for updates, I collect your email address for this purpose only. A newsletter sign-up exists on some of my sites, but not all.

Automatically collected information

Like most websites, this site may use cookies and similar technologies to understand how it's used. See section 6 for details, and the separate Cookie Policy for a full list of cookies used.

3. Why I use your data, and my lawful basis

I use personal data for the following purposes:

• To respond to your enquiry or message (legal basis: legitimate interests, or steps taken at your request prior to a contract).

• To discuss, prepare, and fulfil a commission or artwork purchase, including delivery and installation (legal basis: performance of a contract).

• To maintain accurate provenance records in the Artist Archive for artworks I have created (legal basis: legitimate interests, in maintaining the authenticity and history of limited edition works).

• To send you updates you have specifically asked to receive (legal basis: consent, which you may withdraw at any time).

• To meet legal and accounting obligations, such as retaining records of sales (legal basis: legal obligation). I do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling.

4. How long I keep your data

• General enquiries that don’t lead to a commission or sale: retained for [12 months], then deleted.

• Records relating to a commission, sale, or delivery: retained for as long as required for accounting and tax purposes (typically 6 years), and, for Archive provenance records, for as long as the artwork’s ownership history is being maintained.

• Newsletter sign-ups: retained until you unsubscribe.

5. Who I share your data with

I do not sell your personal data. I share it only where necessary, with:

• Website hosting and platform providers (e.g. Squarespace), who process data on my behalf to keep the site running.

• Payment processors, if you make a payment through the site.

• Delivery and installation partners, where needed to deliver and install an artwork.

• Analytics providers, to understand how the site is used ie including but not limited to Squarespace Analytics/Google Analytics

• My accountant or bookkeeper, for financial record-keeping purposes. I require any third party who processes data on my behalf to keep it secure and use it only for the purpose I’ve instructed.

6. Cookies

This site may use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions and, where you consent, for analytics. Full details of the cookies used, their purpose, and how to manage your preferences are set out in my separate Cookie Policy.

7. International transfers

Some of the providers listed in section 5 may store or process data outside the UK. Where this happens, I ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the UK's International Data Transfer Addendum or an adequacy decision.

8. Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Ask for a copy of the personal data I hold about you.

• Ask me to correct inaccurate data.

• Ask me to delete your data, where there is no legal reason for me to keep it.

• Object to, or ask me to restrict, certain processing.

• Withdraw consent at any time, where I am relying on consent (for example, the newsletter).

• Ask for your data to be provided to you, or transferred, in a portable format.

To exercise any of these rights, contact me at martin@barraud.com I will respond within one month.

9. How to complain

If you’re unhappy with how I’ve handled your data, please contact me first so I can try to put things right. You also have the right to complain to the UK’s data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.

10. Changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last revised. If

I make significant changes, I will make this clear on the site.
