Kate Guinness Design is committed to ensuring the privacy of its clients’ data is protected. This privacy policy explains how personal information is collected and used, and how you can contact us about it.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

When you make an enquiry with us or become a client, whether as a studio client or as a shop customer, you agree to provide your name and contact details (such as email address, postal address and telephone number) in order that we may communicate with you to provide services requested.

In accordance with relevant data protection legislation, it is only for legitimate business reasons that we collect and use such personal information, and we will never ask for more information than we need.

HOW WE USE THIS INFORMATION

If you make an enquiry about a piece for sale via the Kate Guinness Design shop, we will use any personal information collected in the context of that enquiry only for the purposes of responding to it and, if an order is placed, fulfilling the relevant order.

We will never voluntarily disclose personal information to a third party unless required to do so by law or by the order of any competent authority in accordance with relevant data protection legislation.
