What data we collect and why

Newsletter and Private Preview sign-up
When you subscribe to our newsletter or sign up for the Private Preview (online catalog), we collect your email address . We use it to send you our newsletter and the link to the catalog. The legal basis is your consent (GDPR art. 6.1.a). You can withdraw it at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email.

Contact by email
If you email us, we use your email address and the contents of your message to answer you. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering questions, or taking steps at your request before a possible purchase (GDPR art. 6.1.f and 6.1.b).

Visiting the website
When you visit this website, technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device and the pages you view is processed by Squarespace, which hosts the website. We use this only to keep the site secure and working, and to understand in general how many people visit it. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running a secure and functioning website. We use Squarespace Analytics to see anonymised visitor statistics.

Purchases or commissions
If you buy an artwork or place a commission, we process your name, address, email and payment and invoice details to carry out the agreement and meet our legal accounting obligations (art. 6.1.b and 6.1.c).

Who we share your data with

We do not sell your data. We only share it with service providers who process it on our behalf:

• Squarespace, Inc. (website hosting)

• MailerLite (sending the newsletter and catalog link)

• Calendly (registration of a private studio visit)

• Billit (creation of invoices)

These providers may process data outside the European Economic Area, for example in the United States. In that case, they rely on safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
