This privacy policy describes how Brushline UK Limited collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit our website. It applies to all visitors and anyone who contacts us through the site's available forms.
Brushline UK Limited, registered in the United Kingdom, acts as the data controller responsible for personal data collected through this website. Questions about data handling practices can be directed to our editorial team through the contact details published on the site.
Personal data is handled under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 along with any other applicable rules in United Kingdom. Wherever this policy and the law diverge, the law governs.
We collect information you voluntarily provide through our contact form, such as your name and email address, along with standard server logs recording IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited, and, where you have given consent, analytics data showing how visitors interact with our articles. We do not collect payment information or operate any system requiring financial data from visitors.
We process contact form submissions to respond to reader inquiries, process server logs to maintain the security and stability of the website, and use analytics data, where consented to, to understand reader engagement and improve our coverage of art and artificial intelligence. Our legal basis for processing includes legitimate interest in operating a functioning website and, for analytics cookies, your explicit consent given through the cookie banner.
Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to address the inquiry and are then deleted or anonymized, while server logs are typically retained for a limited period for security monitoring before being purged automatically. Analytics data collected with consent is retained according to the retention settings of our analytics provider, consistent with applicable data protection law.
We may rely on third-party service providers for website hosting and analytics, and these providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy terms, which we review for compliance with applicable data protection standards. We do not sell personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.
If you are located in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing activities. Requests can be submitted through our contact page, and if you believe your data has been mishandled, you may also lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office or your local data protection authority.
