Effective Date: 01/05/2025
Website: https://gicleeuk.com

At Giclée UK, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights as a user of our website.

1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://gicleeuk.com.
We are a professional print studio based in Edinburgh, specialising in fine art and photographic Giclée printing.

2. Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.

An anonymised string (or “hash”) of your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. You can view their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.

3. Media Uploads

If you upload images to the site, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may be able to download and extract this data from your images.

4. Cookies

We use cookies to improve your experience on our site. These may include:

  • Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These last for one year.

  • Login Cookies: Temporary cookies are set to determine if your browser accepts cookies when you visit the login page. They contain no personal data.

  • Session Cookies: When you log in, we use cookies to remember your login and display preferences. Login cookies last two days (or two weeks if you choose “Remember Me”). Display preference cookies last for one year.

  • Editor Cookies: If you edit or publish content, a cookie will be saved with the post ID. It contains no personal data and expires after one day.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features of our site may not function properly without them.

5. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, Instagram images, or articles). These third-party sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction — just as if you visited their site directly.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

We don’t share your data with third parties unless necessary for site functionality. For example, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

7. How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely, so we can recognize and approve follow-ups automatically.

If you register on our website (if applicable), we also store the personal information in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information at any time (except your username). Website admins can also access and edit this data.

8. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data. You may also ask us to erase your personal information, unless we’re required to keep it for legal or security reasons.

9. Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
