Conquest Art carries out all the processing of your personal data.

Introduction

Conquest Art understands that privacy and the security of your personal information is extremely important. Because of that, this policy sets out what we do with your information and what we do to keep it secure.  It also explains where and how we collect your personal information, as well as your rights over any personal information we hold about you.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation 2018 (GDPR) governs the use of information about people (personal data).

We may collect information about you whenever you interact with us. For example, when you contact Conquest Art regarding our activities, register as a supporter, send or receive information or donate to us, you specifically and knowingly provide us with your personal information. The sort of information we will hold will include:

If you do not wish to provide personal information, please let us know. In some cases, we may not be able to process your request and we will tell you this at the time.

How we use your information

Personal information which you supply to us may be used in several ways, for example:

How we will ensure your information is kept safe

We take appropriate physical, electronic and managerial measures to ensure that we keep your information secure, accurate and up to date, and that we only keep it if it is reasonable and necessary.  Although we use appropriate security measures once we have received your personal information, the transmission of information over the internet is never completely secure. We do our best to protect personal information, but we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to our website, so any transmission is at the user’s own risk. However, any payment card details (such as credit or debit cards) we receive on our website are passed securely to our payment processing provider according to the Payment Card Industry Security Standards.

We take security measures to protect your information including:

We cannot be held responsible for the privacy of data collected by websites not owned or managed by Conquest Art, including those linked through our website.

Social Media Platforms

Communication, engagement and actions taken through external social media platforms that this website and its owners participate on are custom to the terms and conditions as well as the privacy policies held with each social media platform respectively.

Users are advised to use social media platforms wisely and communicate/engage upon them with due care and caution regarding their own privacy and personal details. This website nor its owners will never ask for personal or sensitive information through social media platforms and encourages users wishing to discuss sensitive details to contact them through primary communication channels such as by telephone or email.
