Purpose of data processing
General purpose of the processing
We only use your data for our services, which are mainly aimed at offering artworks, handling orders and answering questions about products. The purpose of the processing is always directly related to the assignment you provide. This is usually the handling of an order. To process orders, the necessary data are shared with payment services and delivery services. We do not use your data for (targeted) marketing.
We will not contact you outside your request or outside the processing of an order, unless you have given us explicit permission to do so. Your data will not be shared with third parties, except for the aforementioned purpose, other than to comply with accounting and other administrative obligations. These third parties have all been kept confidential on the basis of the agreement between them and us or an oath or legal obligation.
Automatically collected data
No personal data is automatically collected by our website.
Participation in tax and criminal investigation
Where appropriate, we may be obliged to share your information in connection with government tax or criminal investigations on the basis of a legal obligation. In that case we are forced to share your data, but we will oppose this within the possibilities that the law offers us.
Retention periods
We keep your data as long as you are our client. This means that we keep your customer profile until you indicate that you no longer wish to use our services. If you indicate this to us, we will also consider this as a request for being forgotten. On the basis of applicable administrative obligations, we must keep invoices with your (personal) data, so we will keep this data for as long as the applicable term runs. However, employees no longer have access to your client profile and documents that we have produced in connection with your assignment.
