Where applicable data-protection law requires a legal basis, we process personal information on one or more of the following grounds:

Performance of a contract

Processing is necessary to accept payment, produce an artwork, fulfil an order, arrange delivery, process a return or provide requested customer support.

Consent

We rely on consent when a visitor subscribes to marketing communications or accepts non-essential cookies. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Legal obligations

We may process and retain information where required for tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, regulatory or legal purposes.

Legitimate interests

We may process information where reasonably necessary to operate and improve the business, respond to enquiries, secure the website, prevent misuse and understand website performance, provided those interests do not override the individual’s rights and freedoms.

NEWSLETTERS AND MARKETING

Marketing emails are sent only where you have subscribed or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.

You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in an email or by contacting info@asaterstill.com.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from sending essential transactional communications relating to an order, delivery, refund or customer-service request.

HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

We share personal information only where reasonably necessary to operate the website, fulfil orders or meet legal obligations.

Recipients may include:

Website provider

The website is hosted by Squarespace, which processes website, commerce, form, analytics and account information on our behalf.

Payment information is shared with the payment processor selected during checkout to authorise and complete the transaction.

The customer’s order details may be shared with the professional printing house responsible for producing, inspecting and packaging the artwork.

Information may be disclosed where required by law, regulation, court order or a valid request from a competent authority.

We do not sell personal information for monetary payment.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Daniel Asater Photography Services is registered in the United Arab Emirates, and the website may be accessed by customers in other countries.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Other cookies, such as analytics or marketing cookies, should be used only with the visitor’s consent where required.

ANALYTICS

The website may use analytics tools provided by Squarespace or connected service providers.

These tools may collect information such as IP address, device type, browser, approximate location, referral source, pages viewed and interactions with the website.

Analytics information is used to understand website performance and improve visitor experience. Where required, non-essential analytics will operate only after consent has been provided.

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Generally:

• Order and transaction records are retained for as long as required by applicable accounting, tax and legal obligations.
• Customer-service and enquiry correspondence may be retained while an enquiry is active and for a reasonable period afterwards.
• Newsletter information is retained until the subscriber unsubscribes or the mailing list is discontinued.
• Damage, refund and dispute records may be retained for as long as necessary to resolve the matter and establish or defend legal claims.
• Cookie and analytics information is retained according to the settings and retention periods of the relevant service provider.

Some information may be retained for longer where required by law or in connection with an actual or anticipated legal claim.

DATA SECURITY

Reasonable administrative, organisational and technical measures are used to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

However, no online transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors should take appropriate care when communicating information online.
