&Terms of Service

Privacy Policy

This privacy policy sets out how ArtWorks Alliance uses and protects any personal data you provide during the use of this website and in order to receive e-newsletters and other occasional e-communications from Artworks Alliance.

From time to time, you may be asked to submit or re-submit limited personal information about yourself (eg your e-mail address) in order to receive or use other services other on our websites such as feedback forms, complaint forms, consultation questionnaires, and reviews.

Whenever you provide such personal information, we will treat it in accordance with this policy and in accordance with all laws concerning the protection of personal information including the UK Data Protection Act 1998 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018.

What information is being collected?

There are only two occasions when personal data – in the form of your name and/or email address – is sought: when a user actively signs up to receive the ArtWorks Alliance e-newsletter or completes the online form to make an enquiry about joining ArtWorks Alliance as a partner. No other personal data is collected, only that which you provide in one of the cases above.

The ArtWorks Alliance website does not contain any information that requires a user to ‘login’ and so no username or password data is requested by or stored on the site.

How will it be used?

Data collected will be used only to send to you the ArtWorks Alliance e-newsletter and other occasional communications about ArtWorks Alliance and its work.

We will not use your data specifically to ask for donations, though we may occasionally include information within our communications that are about fundraising.

Very occasionally, our e-mailings might be co-branded with another organisation but will still be sent by and from ArtWorks Alliance.

We will not share your data with third parties in any way and under any circumstances, unless with your consent or if required to do so by law.

How to stop us using your data

You can unsubscribe from the ArtWorks Alliance mailing list at any time using the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of each e-newsletter. Unsubscribing deletes your data from our system.

You can also email us with an instruction to delete your data sent to: info@artworksalliance.org.uk

How is your data collected?

For users signing up to receive e-newsletters, a short online sign-up form requests your email address. Providing your name is optional.

For users making an enquiry about becoming an ArtWorks Alliance Partner, a web form created in Google Docs requests your email address and name along with some other non-personal data about your application.

Keeping your information secure

We aim to keep any personal data provided by you securely by using appropriately robust and password protected storage facilities. Our staff are provided with training about data protection and data handling.

ArtWorks Alliance uses Mailchimp as the service provider to manage its mailing list and to distribute e-newsletters etc. We cannot guarantee that data servers are located within the European Union, and as such they may not by subject to GDPR. However we believe adequate steps are taken by the service provider to ensure data security as far as is reasonable.

We will inform you if we have reason to believe the security of your data has been breached.
