This policy is designed to ensure that the Jennifer Lauren Gallery is aware of its responsibilities in relation to the Data Protection Act 1998, and the General Data Protection Regulation 2018, and to inform its artists, website users, and mailing list how the Gallery complies with the legislation.
With the artists the Gallery works with and through the Mailchimp mailing list, the Gallery will collect and store personal data*. The fair, transparent and lawful treatment of this data will be upheld and will never be shared with third parties. For artists, their details will never be shared without permission to other people/organisations. For those on the Mailchimp mailing list, only personal names and emails will be stored, and again will never be shared to third parties. The Gallery will take appropriate security measures against unlawful or unauthorised processing of personal data, and against the accidental loss of, or damage to, personal data.
The Gallery will only hold relevant information that is necessary for purpose, that will be securely stored in a locked cupboard or on a password protected computer. An artist can request the right to see any information held on them at any time, but the only information held on artists will be information that has been provided by the artist (for the contract and personal biography) and therefore consented to. The Gallery has a period of one month to provide the information requested to an artist should they wish to see it. If an artist no longer wants to be involved in the Gallery, their personal data will be removed in a safe and controlled way. If an artist feels that information is incorrect or inaccurate, they have the right to ask the Gallery to rectify the information. Artists do not have to pay any charge for exercising their rights.
Names are added to the Mailchimp mailing list at events related to the gallery or when business cards are passed over with permission (for reasons of legitimate interest). People can leave the mailing list at any time by choosing the unsubscribe option.
