  • Request erasure of your personal data.

Note, however, that the gallery may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

  • Object to processing of your personal data where the gallery is relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where the gallery is processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, the gallery may demonstrate that it has compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data.

  • Withdraw consent at any time where the collection – gallery of digital art is relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, the gallery may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. The gallery will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact the gallery.
