Who I am
This website is operated by “Ted Weiss”, the studio name I use for my artwork. I’m the data controller for personal data collected through this site.
Contact: tw.art.contact@gmail.com
What I collect & why:
-
Enquiries: your name, email, and message so I can reply. (Legal basis: legitimate interests / consent when you submit.)
-
Orders: name, delivery details, purchase details; payments are processed by Swipe and PayPal. I don’t see or store your full card details. (Legal basis: contract and legal obligation for tax records.)
-
Technical logs: your IP address, date/time, pages viewed and basic device info may be captured by my hosting provider Ycode to keep the site secure and running. (Legal basis: legitimate interests—security and performance.)
Payments
When you pay, you’re redirected to Swipe or PayPal. They act as independent controllers/processors for payment data. They may collect additional information needed to complete the transaction and prevent fraud.
Sharing
I don’t sell your data. I only share what’s necessary with:
-
Payment processors: Swipe and PayPal (to process your purchase).
-
Hosting: Ycode (to serve the website and maintain security).
These providers process data securely and only as needed.
Retention
-
Enquiries: up to 12 months.
-
Order records: up to 7 years (tax/accounting).
-
Technical logs: short, security-driven periods set by the host.
Your rights (UK/EU GDPR)
You can request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of your personal data, and object where applicable. You can also complain to the ICO (UK) or your local data authority.To exercise rights: tw.art.contact@gmail.com
Security
I use HTTPS and reputable third-party processors. No method is 100% secure, but I take reasonable steps to protect your data.
International transfers
If providers store data outside the UK/EU, they use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).
Updates
I may update this policy. Changes will appear here with a new “Last updated” date.
