PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: 20th September 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit my website, purchase artwork from my online shop, or book an animal communication session.
I am based in the United Kingdom and handle personal information in accordance with the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). I treat your information, including details shared during animal communication sessions, with care, respect, and confidentiality.
1. The personal information I collect
I collect information that I need to provide my services, process orders, manage bookings, and communicate with you. This may include:
-
your name;
-
email address and telephone number;
-
billing and delivery address;
-
details of artwork or other products you purchase;
-
information about custom commissions;
-
details of animal communication sessions you book;
-
your animal’s name, age, photographs, behavioural notes, and any background information you choose to share; and
-

Please only share information about yourself or your animal that you are comfortable providing.
2. How I collect your information
I may collect your information when you:

book an animal communication session;
-
contact me through my website, email, or another communication method;
-

3. How your information is stored
My website and online shop are hosted by Wix.com. Wix provides the online tools and infrastructure I use to display my artwork, manage products and bookings, and process orders.
Information submitted through my website may be stored using Wix’s systems and applications. As Wix operates internationally, your information may be processed or stored outside the UK. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards are used in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements.
Wix’s own privacy policy explains how it handles personal information on its platform.
4. Payment processing
Payments made through my website may be processed by PayPal or another payment provider made available through the Wix platform.
Your payment is handled directly by the relevant payment provider. I do not store your full payment-card number, banking passwords, or similar confidential payment credentials.
Payment providers process your information in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms.
5. Why I use your information
I use your personal information only where I have a lawful reason to do so. This may include:
-
processing and delivering artwork orders;
-
managing bookings and providing animal communication sessions;
-
preparing custom artwork or commissions;
-
responding to your questions and requests;
-
communicating with you about an order, booking, or service;
-
keeping appropriate business, transaction, and accounting records;
-
maintaining the security and functionality of my website; and
-
managing and improving the services I provide.
The legal bases I may rely on include:
-
Contract: where I need your information to process an order, manage a booking, or provide a service you have requested.
-
Legal obligation: where I need to keep records or provide information to meet legal requirements.
-
Legitimate interests: where I need to run and protect my business, maintain my website, respond to enquiries, and provide my services.
-
Consent: where I ask for your permission to use your information for a particular purpose.
I will not use your information for unrelated purposes without explaining this to you or obtaining your consent where required.
6. Confidentiality of animal communication sessions
I understand that the information shared during an animal communication session can be personal and meaningful. I treat session details, notes, photographs, and information about your animal as confidential.
I will not share your session notes, transcripts, photographs, your animal’s information, or your personal details publicly—including on social media, blogs, websites, or marketing materials—without your clear, written consent.
7. Cookies and similar technologies
My website is hosted by Wix, which may use essential cookies and similar technologies to provide core website functions, maintain security, process orders and bookings, and support payment services.
These technologies may be placed by Wix or by third-party services connected to my website. Some cookies may be optional and may be used to understand website usage or improve the website. Where required, optional cookies will only be used with your consent.
You can manage cookies through the cookie settings available on the website, where provided, or through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect how some parts of the website function.
8. How long I keep your information
I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to process your orders, manage your bookings, provide my services, and meet my legal and regulatory obligations.
Business records, transaction details, and invoices are securely retained for six years after the end of the relevant financial year, where required by law. Once information is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
9. Sharing your information
I may share relevant personal information with trusted service providers where this is necessary to operate my website and provide my services. These may include:
-
Wix, which hosts my website and online shop;
-
PayPal or another payment provider, where you make a payment;
-
delivery or postal services, where artwork needs to be sent to you; and
-
professional or legal advisers, where necessary.
I do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
