GDPR and Privacy- we take it seriously
This legislation will replace current data privacy law, giving more rights to you as an individual and more obligations to organisations holding your personal data. One of the rights is a right to be informed, which means we have to give you even more information than we do now about the way in which we use, share and store your personal information. We have explained how we will do this below.

This privacy policy explains how we use any personal information we collect about you when you use our websites and contract for our services such as buying paintings and art and mindfulness workshops.
We may change this Policy from time to time so please check this page occasionally to ensure that you’re happy with any changes.
By using our websites or contracting for our services, you’re agreeing to be bound by this Policy.
