Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

1. Introduction

Art With Danica ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR.

2. Who We Are

Art With Danica is a small independent art class business based in the Abingdon area, Oxfordshire. Our website is hosted on WIX at www.danicadasilvapereira.com. You can contact us at [artwithdanica@gmail.com].

3. What Information We Collect

We collect personal data when you book or enquire about a class, complete a contact form, or make a payment. The information we may collect includes your name, email address, telephone number, and payment information. We do not store your full payment card details — these are processed securely by Wix Payments.

4. How We Store Your Data

Your information is stored using Google Workspace tools (including Gmail and Google Forms/Sheets), which comply with current ISO security and privacy standards. All devices used to access your data are password protected.

5. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to process and confirm bookings, communicate with you about classes and events, handle payments, and improve our services. We may also contact you in future with newsletters or updates about upcoming classes.

6. Photographs

From time to time we may take photographs of students and/or their artwork for use on our website or social media for promotional and community purposes. If you would prefer not to be photographed, or do not wish your artwork to appear online, please let us know and we will respect your wishes.

7. Payment Processing

Payments are processed securely through Wix Payments. We do not store or have access to your full card details. Wix Payments operates in accordance with PCI DSS standards. For more information, please refer to the Wix Privacy Policy at wix.com/about/privacy.

8. Sharing Your Data

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. Your data may be shared only with the service providers who help us operate our business — including Wix (website and payments) and Google (data storage and communication) — and only where necessary to deliver our services. We may also disclose your data where required to do so by law.

9. Lawful Basis for Processing

We process your personal data under the lawful basis of legitimate interest (for managing bookings and communicating with students and enquirers) and, where applicable, contract (for processing payments and fulfilling bookings).

10. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of your data, object to or restrict how we process your data, and withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [your email address]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

11. Cookies

Our website uses cookies provided by Wix to support site functionality and collect basic analytics. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though some site features may not function if cookies are disabled.

12. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including for any legal or accounting obligations. Enquiries older than two years will be removed from our records unless you have specifically requested to remain on our list.

13. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal data from unauthorised access or disclosure. However, no method of data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as completely secure.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be available on our website at [danicadasilvapereira.com/privacy-policy].
