Commitment to Privacy
markwoollacott.com is committed to protecting the privacy of all personal information obtained from online customers as a result of their visits to this website. Any personal information markwoollacott.com collects from customers will be used in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018, which supersedes and builds on the Data Protection Act 1998 and other applicable laws under English and European law. The Data Protection Act 2018 also tailors the UK-GDPR, the UK's own version of the GDPR, which came into effect on January 31st, 2020.
All information will remain private and will never be disclosed, except where there is a legal duty to exchange information with relevant law enforcement authorities, in the unlikely event of fraudulent customer activity. In this respect, markwoollacott.com has the legal right and sole discretion to refuse any order that it deems to be suspicious or false (e.g. from buyers using false identities and delivery addresses, or buyers seeking to use my artworks to infringe various rights, including copyright) and no artwork will be despatched.
markwoollacott.com does not and will not pass on information to mailing list companies or other third parties. The complete respect for my customers' privacy is extremely important. I want customers to enjoy visiting markwoollacott.com and hope that they will visit my website again in the future and recommend my artwork to their friends and to others they know.
