Privacy Policy

The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) were introduced in May 2018 to provide you with greater control over the collection and use of your personal data. Your privacy is important to us and we are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected, so our Privacy Policy sets out how Godfrey & Watt uses and protects any information that may be collected about you when you visit our website or subscribe to our email list, and explains how you can manage this information.

Cookies

Data collected by a web browser when you use our website
When you visit our Godfrey & Watt website a small amount of data is collected and saved by the web browser you are using. These are called Cookies. They are small text files whose purpose is to remember information about you such as the web browser you are using, websites you have visited and the pages you went to. We use this information to understand which artists and exhibitions are of most interest to our customers so we can design our site to be more relevant and easier to use.
We do not use cookies for advertising purposes and never pass your data onto any other organisation.
When you visit our website there is a message that alerts you that the site uses cookies and asks for your consent to proceed.

How you can manage cookies

Most web browsers allow you to view and manage cookies in the browser Preferences, typically within the "Privacy" or "Security" tab of the browser. This allows you to delete some or all of the cookies or block cookies from being created entirely.
While blocking cookies in your browser may provide a higher level of privacy, you may find that some websites don’t work properly because they require cookies to function.

Subscribing to our email list

If you would like us to let you know about our artists and exhibitions, you can give us your consent to do this by clicking the button and filling in the form on the Home, About and Contact Us pages of our website. The only information we ask for is your name and email address. This information goes automatically into our mailing list and we can then send you information by email in the future.
I also have a website where I exhibit my own work under the name of Alex Malcolmson, so by signing up to our Godfrey & Watt email list you also give me your consent to send you emails about my Alex Malcolmson exhibitions.
Godfrey & Watt does not have an online shop, so we do not collect and store any other information such as credit card details, and we do not share your name and email address with anyone else.
Previously, if you have visited one of our exhibitions and asked to be put on our email list, or if you have bought something from us, we have also added your name to our email list. In future, before we do this we will ask you to fill in a form to ensure we have your consent in writing. This may also include your address and postcode where appropriate.

You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time by clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of our exhibition emails, or by sending an email directly to me, Alex Godfrey, at [email protected]

Where your information is safely stored

We keep the information you have provided safe in the following ways:

When you sign up online, the information goes directly to our subscription list. When we want to send you emails about our exhibitions we use a secure service provided by Campaign Monitor to send them on our behalf. They are compliant with the GDPR regulations.
When you sign up to receive our emails, we also receive an email directly to let us know. Once we have checked this has been successfully added to our subscription list, we delete this email from our computer.
