Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to me.

This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used and protected when you visit www.jaybwilliamson.com or contact me through the website.

I aim to handle personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable UK data protection legislation, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

This website is primarily an online portfolio showcasing my artwork, commissions and creative projects.

I do not operate customer accounts, online purchases or mailing lists through this website.

However, I may receive personal information when you voluntarily contact me using the website's contact form.

The website also uses GoDaddy's analytics services, which may process technical information relating to website visits and interactions.

Information submitted through the contact form is used solely to respond to your enquiry, discuss potential artwork commissions or creative projects, communicate with you regarding services you have requested, and maintain relevant correspondence where necessary.

I do not sell your personal information or use contact form submissions for unsolicited marketing.

The lawful basis for processing enquiries will generally be my legitimate interests in responding to correspondence, or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract.

This website is hosted and operated using GoDaddy Airo.

GoDaddy's website analytics system may collect information about website usage, such as pageviews, visitor interactions and technical information associated with browsing.

This information helps me understand how the website is used and improve its content and functionality.

The website does not currently use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or other independently installed advertising trackers.

This website includes a cookie consent banner that allows visitors to accept or decline analytics tracking.

Your preference is saved in your browser's local storage so that the website can remember your choice.

GoDaddy's analytics infrastructure may also use cookies or similar technologies. Some basic pageview information may be processed when pages load, independently of your cookie preference.

Non-essential cookies and similar technologies should only be used where the necessary consent has been obtained or a lawful exemption applies.

Messages submitted through the contact form are delivered using the website's email service.

Personal information may be processed by service providers involved in hosting, website analytics and email delivery, including GoDaddy.

I do not sell personal information or share it with third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

Where service providers process personal information outside the United Kingdom, appropriate data protection safeguards should apply.

Personal information received through enquiries is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, manage relevant correspondence, fulfil any agreed services or meet applicable legal obligations.

Information that is no longer required will be deleted when appropriate.

Under UK data protection legislation, you may have the right to request access to personal information held about you, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion of your personal information, object to certain processing activities, request restriction of processing, and withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.

These rights are subject to applicable legal conditions and exemptions.

You may also raise concerns with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection supervisory authority, at www.ico.org.uk.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or wish to exercise your data protection rights, please contact me using the contact form on this website.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page with a revised 'Last updated' date.

I encourage you to review this page periodically.
