Privacy Policy
Last updated: 16 September 2026
This policy explains what personal information Daryl Lakey Art collects, why it is collected, and what your rights are. We only ever use your details to answer your enquiry or to complete your order.
1. Who we are
This website is run by Daryl Lakey, a sole trader trading as Daryl Lakey Art. We are the "data controller" for the information described in this policy, which means we are responsible for looking after it.
- Address: c/o 12 Scholars Place, Sparken Hill Gardens, Worksop, Nottinghamshire, S80 1EQ
- Email: hello@daryllakeyart.com
2. What we collect
When you send an enquiry
The enquiry form asks for your name, email address, an optional phone number, your preferred size, and whatever you write in the message box.
When you buy a painting
Payments are handled by Stripe on their own secure pages. We never see or store your card details. Stripe passes us your name, email address, delivery address and details of what you bought, so we can send your painting and keep the records we are required to keep.
Automatically
Our hosting provider keeps standard technical logs, such as the address of the device requesting a page. These are used to keep the site running and secure.
3. Why we use it, and our lawful basis
| What we do | Why we are allowed to |
|---|---|
| Reply to your enquiry | Taking steps at your request before entering a contract, and our legitimate interest in answering people who contact us |
| Process and deliver your order | Performing our contract with you |
| Keep sales and tax records | Complying with our legal obligations |
We do not send marketing emails, and we never sell or rent your details to anyone.
4. Who we share it with
We use a small number of trusted companies to run the website. They may handle your information only to provide their service to us:
- Web3Forms — passes enquiries from the form to our email inbox
- Google (Gmail) — our email
- Railway — hosts this website
- Stripe — takes payments
- Our delivery courier — needs your name and address to deliver your painting
We may also share information if the law requires it.
5. Cookies
This website does not set any cookies and does not track you. Two things are worth knowing:
- The page fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, so your browser contacts Google's servers and Google receives your device's internet address.
- If you go through to Stripe to pay, Stripe sets its own cookies on its own pages, which are covered by Stripe's privacy policy.
6. How long we keep it
- Enquiries that do not lead to a sale: up to 2 Years, then deleted
- Order and payment records: 6 years, as required for tax purposes
7. Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to ask us to:
- give you a copy of the information we hold about you
- correct anything that is wrong
- delete your information, where we do not have to keep it
- stop or restrict how we use it, or object to us using it
- transfer it to another provider
To do any of these, email hello@daryllakeyart.com. We will reply within one month.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113. We would appreciate the chance to put things right first.
8. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page.
