Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 October 2026

This website is operated by David Phillips, a UK-based portrait painter. I respect your privacy and am committed to handling your personal information responsibly.

Information I collect

When you contact me through the enquiry form on this website, I collect the information you provide, which may include:

Your name
Your email address
Details of your enquiry or proposed portrait commission

If we proceed with a commission, I may also collect information needed to arrange photographic sessions, communicate about the painting and fulfil the commission.

How I use your information

I use your personal information to respond to enquiries, discuss potential commissions, arrange and manage commissioned work, and maintain necessary business records.

I do not use information submitted through the enquiry form to send marketing emails unless you have separately agreed to receive them.

Legal basis for processing

I process enquiry information on the basis of my legitimate interest in responding to people who contact me. Where a commission is agreed, I process relevant information as necessary to fulfil our contract. Certain records may also be retained to meet legal obligations.

How your information is stored

This website is hosted by Wix. Information submitted through the enquiry form is stored within Wix's website management system.

I take reasonable steps to protect personal information and limit access to it. Wix may process information using systems located outside the United Kingdom, subject to applicable data protection safeguards.

Sharing your information

I do not sell your personal information.

Information may be processed by service providers, including Wix, where necessary to operate the website and manage enquiries. I may also disclose information where required by law.

How long I keep your information

I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, managing commissions and meeting any applicable legal or accounting obligations.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to request access to your personal information, ask for inaccuracies to be corrected, request deletion, object to certain uses of your information or request that its use be restricted.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at www.ico.org.uk.

This website uses cookies and similar technologies to support its operation and, where applicable, understand how visitors use the site.

You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie consent banner or reopen your settings using the cookie preferences icon on the website.
