Introduction

At Pilgrim Arts, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and share information about you when you visit our website, make a purchase, or interact with us.

We comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. This policy was last updated in January 2026.

What we collect

We collect contact details (name, email, phone), order history, communications, and browsing behaviour to improve your experience.

How we use your data

We use your data to fulfil orders, respond to inquiries, send newsletters (with your consent), and improve our services.

Legal basis for processing

We process your data based on contract performance, legitimate interest, and your explicit consent where required.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. You may also object to processing and request data portability.

Data retention

We retain your data for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

Third-party sharing

We share data only with trusted service providers (payment processors, shipping partners) who are bound by data protection agreements.

Cookie policy

We use a small number of cookies and similar local storage, all first-party (set by us, not third-party advertisers). We don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Most of what we store is strictly necessary to run the site — keeping you signed in and your cart intact — and doesn't require consent under UK data protection law. The one optional item is anonymous page-view logging, which only runs if you accept it in the cookie banner.
