Privacy Policy

Andrew Dando Antiques is committed to protecting your privacy and security. This privacy policy explains how and why we use your personal data and is intended to help ensure that you remain informed and in control of your information. For privacy information on the use of our website (Cookies, etc.) please see below.

What personal data do we hold

The personal data we hold is information you give when you communicate with us, and when you purchase items from us, such as your name and address.

How we collect personal data

We only collect data which has voluntarily been given when you contact us regarding an enquiry or purchase, by phone, email, or in person.

How we use your personal data

The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data, including:

Consent

In specific situations, we can collect and process your data with your consent.

For example, if we introduce email newsletters in the future.

Contractual obligations

We need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations when you purchase an item.

When you purchase an item from us for home delivery, we take your address details to deliver your purchase, and pass them to our courier.

Legal compliance

If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data.

For example, we can pass on details of people involved in fraud or other criminal activity affecting our business to law enforcement.

Legitimate interest

In specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.

Specifically, we will use either your residential or email address details to send you information regarding our exhibitions and/or fairs where we will be exhibiting. You have the right to request us to stop receiving such information at any time.

How long do we retain your personal data

You have the right to ask us you delete your personal data at any time unless this is contra to our legal requirements specifically to items you have purchased from us. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) may request to check our records to make sure we are paying the right amount of tax. We therefore have a legal obligation to keep your personal data relating to an item your have purchased for at least 5 years after the 31 January submission deadline of the relevant tax year in which an item was purchased.

Data security

We employ a variety of physical and technical measures to protect information we hold and to prevent unauthorised access to, or use or disclosure of your personal data. This information is only legitimately accessible to the partners in the business unless some data is required by a third party for instance a courier for the delivery of an item.

Third party providers and links to other websites

It may be necessary during the normal course of our normal business to share some elements of personal data with a third party such as a courier to deliver an item. Clients will be notified of how we intend to facilitate delivery purchased from us.

Andrew Dando Antiques also uses Mail Chimp to send bulk emails.

We have links to the websites of the Cotswold Antique Dealers Association, and the British Antique Dealers Association.

We are not responsible for the content or functionality of any such websites. If a third party website requests personal data from you (e.g. in connection with an order for goods or services), the information you provide will not be covered by this privacy policy. We suggest you read the privacy notice of any other website before providing any personal information.

Control and Access to your personal data

We want to ensure you remain in control of your personal data and that you understand your legal rights, which are:

  • the right to know whether we hold your personal data and, if we do so, to be sent a copy of the personal data that we hold about you (a “subject access request”) within one month;
  • the right to have your personal data erased (though this will not apply where it is necessary for us to continue to use the data for a lawful reason);
  • the right to have inaccurate personal data rectified;
  • the right to object to your personal data being used for marketing

If you would like further information on your rights or wish to exercise them, please contact us.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

We may amend this privacy policy from time to time to ensure it remains up-to-date and continues to reflect how and why we use your personal data. The current version of our privacy policy will always be posted on our website. This version was updated on the 12.07.18.
