Privacy Policy
Last updated: 15 September 2026
Daria art respects your privacy and is committed to handling your personal information safely, fairly and transparently. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected and used when you visit dariaartist.com, place an order, request a commission, create an account, contact me or join the Studio List.
Who I am
DARIA art is an independent art business operated by Daria Narusevych in the United Kingdom and is the data controller responsible for your personal information.
Email: info@dariaartist.com
Information I collect
Depending on how you interact with DARIA art, I may collect:
• Your name, email address, telephone number, billing address and delivery address.
• Information submitted with an order, commission request, customer account or enquiry.
• Communications sent through the website, email or social media.
• Order, payment, delivery, return and refund information.
• Products you view, add to your basket or save to your wishlist.
• Newsletter preferences and email engagement information.
• Information provided when entering a competition, giveaway, exhibition or event.
• Technical and usage information, including your IP address, browser, device, referring website, pages visited, clicks, searches and interaction with the website.
Payment details are processed securely by the payment provider available at checkout. I do not directly store complete payment card details.
How and why I use your information
I may use personal information to:
• Process, fulfil and deliver orders.
• Respond to enquiries and discuss commission requests.
• Manage payments, returns, refunds, customer accounts and customer service.
• Send Studio List emails about new work, collection releases, early access, studio news, exhibitions and commission availability when you have chosen to subscribe.
• Administer competitions, giveaways or events in which you choose to participate.
• Understand how visitors use the website and improve its content and performance.
• Protect the website, customers and business against fraud, spam or misuse.
• Meet legal, accounting and tax obligations.
I process information only where there is a lawful reason to do so. This may be because it is necessary to fulfil a contract with you, comply with the law, pursue legitimate business interests that do not override your rights, or because you have given consent.
Email marketing
If you join the Studio List, MailerLite will process your email address, subscription status and relevant email engagement information on behalf of DARIA art.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every marketing email. Unsubscribing from marketing will not prevent necessary non-marketing messages concerning your orders, account or an existing commission.
Limited information may remain on a suppression list to ensure that your preference is respected and that you are not accidentally resubscribed without permission.
Wix and other service providers
This website is created and hosted using Wix. Wix may process information required for website hosting, online shop functions, customer accounts, website forms, analytics and security.
Necessary information may also be shared with:
• MailerLite for subscriber management and email marketing.
• Payment providers for secure payment processing.
• Delivery companies for shipping orders.
• Professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers.
• Regulators, public authorities or law enforcement where disclosure is legally required.
These providers may process information only to provide their services or meet their own legal obligations. I do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.
Some providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards are used as required by UK data protection law.
Cookies and analytics
The website uses essential cookies required for functions such as security, customer accounts, the shopping basket and checkout.
With your permission, analytics or marketing cookies may also collect information about website traffic and activity, including pages viewed, clicks, searches and the time of visits. This helps me understand and improve the website.
You can accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies through the website’s cookie banner or cookie settings.
How long information is kept
Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary:
• Order and transaction records may normally be retained for up to six years for legal, accounting and tax purposes.
• Enquiries and correspondence may normally be retained for up to two years.
• Newsletter information is retained until you unsubscribe or the Studio List is closed.
Information may be retained longer where required by law or needed to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. When it is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or anonymised where appropriate.
Your rights and keeping information accurate
Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to:
• Request access to your personal information.
• Ask for inaccurate or incomplete information to be corrected.
• Request deletion of your information in certain circumstances.
• Restrict or object to certain processing.
• Request data portability.
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
Please contact me if your details change or if you believe that information held about you is incorrect.
To exercise your rights or ask a question about this policy, contact info@dariaartist.com.
You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk, although I would appreciate the opportunity to address your concern first.
Security
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information against loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure or unauthorised access. Access is limited to those who reasonably require it to operate the business.
If a personal data breach occurs, affected individuals and the relevant authority will be informed where required by law. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
External links and policy updates
The website may contain links to third-party websites or social media platforms. Their handling of personal information is governed by their own privacy policies, and DARIA art is not responsible for their privacy practices.
This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes to the website, services, providers or legal requirements. The latest version will always be published on this page with the date of the most recent update.
