Privacy Note

This note explains what personal data Strategic Art Investor collects, why, and what rights you have over it. We keep it short and plain, because that is the point of it.

Who we are

Strategic Art Investor (“we”, “us”) publishes a market-intelligence briefing. For the purposes of UK data protection law, the data controller is Leonard Payne, contactable at rev.leonard.payne@gmail.com and Barnabas, Blackberry Lane, Lingfield, RH7 6NJ, United Kingdom.

What we collect, and why

If you request the free guide

We collect the email address you enter, together with the date and time of your request and the IP address it came from (a routine technical record that helps us prevent abuse of the form). We use this to send or provide the guide, and — because you asked to hear from us — to send occasional related updates about the briefing.

• Lawful basis: your consent, given by submitting the form. You can withdraw it at any time (see “Your rights” below).
• Where it is kept: in a file on our own server, not shared with any third party for their own use.

If you subscribe or buy the founding issue

Payment is handled entirely by our payment provider, Stripe. We do not see or store your card details. To fulfil a subscription we receive from Stripe the information needed to send you the printed briefing — your name and postal address — and your email for order correspondence.

• Lawful basis: performance of our contract with you (to deliver what you have paid for).
• Stripe processes your payment data as an independent controller under its own privacy policy, at https://stripe.com/privacy].

How long we keep it

We keep free-guide email addresses until you ask us to remove them, or until they are clearly no longer in use. We keep subscriber and order records for as long as you are a subscriber and for a reasonable period afterwards to meet our accounting and legal obligations.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your data. We share it only where necessary to run the service — for example, our payment provider (Stripe) for payments, and the postal services to post your briefing — and where the law requires it.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to ask us to:

• tell you what data we hold about you, and give you a copy;
• correct anything that is wrong;
• delete your data (“the right to be forgotten”);
• stop or restrict how we use it, and withdraw consent for marketing at any time.

To exercise any of these, email rev.leonard.payne@gmail.com and we will respond within one month. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
