Annie Domini is an independent art business operated by Anna Tikhomirova in the United Kingdom. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use and protect your personal information when you visit annie-domini.com, make a purchase, contact me, enquire about art tuition or commissions, or otherwise interact with the website.
When you visit the website, certain technical information may be collected automatically. This can include your IP address, browser and device information, information about how you use the website, pages and products you view, and the website or search that referred you to Annie Domini.
I also collect information that you provide directly to me. Depending on how you interact with the website, this may include:
Payment information is processed through the payment services available through my Shopify store. I do not personally store your full payment-card details.
I use personal information for the following purposes and on the following lawful bases:
Orders and purchases: to process payments, fulfil orders, arrange delivery, send order confirmations and provide customer service. This processing is generally necessary to perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
Enquiries, commissions and art tuition: to respond to you, discuss your requirements and provide services you have requested. This is generally necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract with you.
Business and financial records: to maintain records required for accounting, taxation and other legal or regulatory purposes. This processing is carried out where necessary to comply with my legal obligations.
Website security and fraud prevention: to protect the website, customers and my business against fraud, misuse and security threats. Where this is not required by law, I rely on my legitimate interests in operating a secure and reliable business.
Website and business improvement: to understand how visitors use the website, assess how products and services perform and improve the website and customer experience. Depending on the technology involved, this processing is based on consent where consent is required, or on my legitimate interests in understanding and improving my business where appropriate.
Marketing: to send marketing or promotional communications where you have chosen to receive them, or where otherwise permitted by law. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.
Where I rely on legitimate interests, those interests include operating and improving Annie Domini, providing effective customer service, understanding the performance of my business, and maintaining the security and integrity of the website. I consider these interests against the rights and interests of the people whose information is processed.
My online store is hosted by Shopify. Shopify collects and processes personal information when you visit or make a purchase from Annie Domini in order to provide the ecommerce platform and related services.
I have enabled Shopify Network Intelligence. This means Shopify may also process information about your interactions with Annie Domini, Shopify and other merchants in order to provide enhanced services. These services can include providing a more personalised experience, helping Shopify and merchants understand how customers interact with stores and advertising, and providing more relevant advertising where permitted.
Information about your activity on Annie Domini may therefore be shared with and processed by Shopify and relevant third parties, including organisations located outside the United Kingdom, for the purpose of providing Shopify services, including these enhanced services.
You can find further information in the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy.
You can also use the Shopify Privacy Portal to learn about and exercise applicable privacy choices relating to Shopify’s processing, including withdrawing consent or objecting to certain processing where available.
I use Google Analytics to help me understand how visitors find and use the website. This may involve cookies or similar technologies and information about visits to the website.
Where consent is required for analytics or similar non-essential technologies, they will be used in accordance with the choices you make through the website’s privacy or cookie controls.
I may also share information with service providers where necessary to provide a product or service you have requested. These may include payment providers, delivery services and print-on-demand or fulfilment partners responsible for producing and sending an order.
These organisations receive information necessary for them to provide the relevant service and process information according to their respective roles and applicable privacy and data-protection obligations.
The website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are necessary for the website and online shop to function. Others may be used for analytics, personalisation, advertising and to help understand how visitors use the website.
Where required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will only be used in accordance with the choices you make through the website’s privacy controls.
Where consent is required for personalised advertising or other processing associated with Shopify Network Intelligence, you can give or withhold that consent through the privacy controls provided on the website and can subsequently change your choices.
If you have chosen to receive marketing emails or other promotional communications from Annie Domini, I may use your contact details for that purpose.
You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe option provided in the communication or by contacting me.
I will not add you to a marketing list merely because you have made a purchase or enquiry unless doing so is permitted under applicable law and you have been given an appropriate opportunity to opt out.
I do not sell your personal information.
I may share personal information where reasonably necessary with organisations that help me operate the business, including Shopify, payment processors, analytics providers, delivery companies, professional advisers and print or fulfilment partners.
I may also disclose information where required by law, regulation or a lawful request from a public authority, or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
Some of the organisations that process personal information in connection with Annie Domini, including Shopify and other service providers, may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, I take account of the safeguards applicable to the relevant service and transfer. Depending on the destination and circumstances, these may include UK adequacy regulations, contractual safeguards recognised under UK data-protection law, or another lawful transfer mechanism.
Further information about Shopify’s international processing is available in Shopify’s Consumer Privacy Policy.
I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including fulfilling orders, responding to enquiries, maintaining business and accounting records, resolving disputes and meeting legal or regulatory requirements.
Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
When information is no longer required, I will delete it or allow it to be securely deleted in accordance with the systems and services I use.
Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law gives you rights in relation to your personal information. These may include the right to:
These rights are not absolute and may depend on the circumstances and the lawful basis on which information is being processed.
To exercise a data-protection right, please contact me using the details below.
You have the right to object to certain processing of your personal information where it is based on legitimate interests.
You also have an absolute right to object at any time to the use of your personal information for direct marketing, including related profiling. If you object to direct marketing, I will stop using your information for that purpose.
You can also withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on your consent.
You have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you are concerned about how your personal information has been handled.
The online shop is not specifically directed at children.
Where personal information relating to a child is provided in connection with art tuition or another service, I will use it only as reasonably necessary to administer and provide that service and in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements.
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, my business practices, the services I use, or legal and regulatory requirements. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last updated.
