Galerie Carte Blanche is committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit galeriecarteblanche.com.

1. Data We Collect

We may collect limited personal data when you voluntarily interact with our website, for example, when you submit an enquiry via our contact form. This may include your name and message content. We also collect non-personally identifiable data through analytics tools, such as pages visited, time on site, and browser type, to help us improve our content and user experience.

2. How We Use Your Data

Any personal data collected is used solely to respond to your enquiries or improve our website’s performance. We do not use your data for marketing purposes, nor do we sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties, except where required by law.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

Under GDPR, we process your data on the lawful basis of: (a) your consent, where provided; (b) our legitimate interest in improving our educational platform; or (c) compliance with a legal obligation. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time.

4. Cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies for analytical purposes. You may adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies; however, this may affect certain features of the website. We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law. Data submitted via contact forms is deleted once it is no longer needed.

6. Your Rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data; the right to restrict or object to processing; and the right to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through the website contact form.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. However, no method of internet transmission is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
