Contact & Privacy - Cheshire Plain

Personal Information

I am committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information by complying with UK data protection laws.

The purpose of this statement is to explain what personal information I collect, how and why I hold it, use it and, where applicable, share it. It also includes a confirmation of your rights.

I currently collect, hold and process personal information in the form of personal identifiers, contacts and characteristics (for example, name and contact details)

Most of the personal information I hold and process is provided to me directly by you for one of the following reasons:

You are a current or past client or collaborator;
You asked about a possible commission, service or collaboration;
You have provided information, or permitted the delivery of such information, to me for the purpose of enabling me to contact you.

I also obtain some personal information indirectly from websites where such information is publicly available.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the lawful bases I rely on for processing this information are either:

Your consent (You are able to remove your consent at any time by contacting me) or
I have a legitimate interest, namely the operation of my business as a maker, including marketing activities.

I use the personal information that I hold in order to communicate with clients with whom I am working on a commission or potential commission.

Where necessary I may share this information with third parties who are working with me on a furniture commission.

Your information is securely stored on my computer. Access is password protected, and is also accessible on my mobile phone (also password or biometrically protected).

I keep personal information for so long as I believe that you may be interested in receiving communications from me. After that I delete it from my computer.
