We are OJR Creative Services Ltd (company number: 12054980), a company incorporated and registered in England and Wales with registered address at 128 City Road, London, United Kingdom, EC1V 2NX. Under this privacy policy, “Oskar’s illustration”, “our”, “us” or “we” refers to OJR Creative Services Ltd.

This privacy policy sets out the type of personal data we process, why we are processing it and how we will treat your personal data, as a data controller relating to www.oskarillustration.com (the “Website”). The data controller responsible for the Website is Oskar Illustration.

This privacy policy also sets out how you may contact us. There may be some circumstances, for example for certain events, where we provide additional information in terms of our data practices.

We keep our privacy policy under regular review. It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

(1) The Data we collect about you

We only collect personal data that is necessary for us to run our business, fulfil our obligations to you, and keep you informed about our activities.

We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal data:

(a) information about your computer and about your visits to and use of the Website including your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral source, length of visit and number of page views;

(b) personal details (name, title, gender, and date of birth);

(d) current interests, preferences and previous activities with us;

(e) information that you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to our Website’s services, email notifications and/or newsletters; and

(f) any other information that you choose to send to us.

(2) Cookies

A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

You can set your web browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when Website set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Website may become inaccessible or not function properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please see our Cookie Policy.

Personal data submitted on the Website will be used for the purposes specified in this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the Website.

We may use your personal information to:

(a) administer the Website;

(b) improve your browsing experience by personalising the Website;

(d) send you general (non-marketing) commercial communications;

(e) send you email notifications which you have specifically requested;

(f) send to you our newsletter and other direct marketing communications relating to our business or the businesses of carefully-selected third parties which we think may be of interest to you by post or, where you have specifically agreed to this, by email or similar technology (you can inform us at any time if you no longer require marketing communications);

(g) provide third parties with statistical information about our users – but this information will not be used to identify any individual user; and

(h) deal with enquiries and complaints made by or about you relating to the Website.

If you opt into our mailing list or submit personal data through our Website’s “Contact” page, we will process your personal data for the purpose of sending a newsletter to you, discuss your portfolio and for direct marketing. We process the fact that you have provided, or declined to provide, consent to receive marketing to pursue our legitimate interests, being to:

(i) ensure that marketing services are provided lawfully; and

(ii) ensure that our mailing lists function effectively so that you only receive the communications you have asked for.

This information is available to certain members of our staff, Mailchimp and third-party website hosting service providers.

We process all other direct marketing information based on your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing oli@oskarillustration.com.

Where you submit personal information for publication on our Website, we will publish and otherwise use that information in accordance with the licence you grant to us.

We will not without your express consent provide your personal information to any third parties for the purpose of direct marketing.

All our Website’s financial transactions are handled through our payment services provider. You should only provide your personal information to our payment services provider after reviewing their privacy policy. We will share information with our payment services provider only to the extent necessary for the purposes of processing payments you make via our Website.

(4) Data retention

We will only retain your personal data for 1 year to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. At the end of the retention period, we assess whether it is necessary to continue to retain personal data to achieve the purposes for which it was collected. To determine appropriate retention periods, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of unauthorised access, and legal requirements.

(5) Security of your personal data

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

We will store all the personal information you provide on our secure (password- and firewall- protected) servers. All electronic transactions you make to or receive from us will be encrypted.

Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

(6) International data transfers

We are based in the United Kingdom, regularly collaborate with an international network of partners and may from time-to-time use subcontractors and service providers based in other countries. Information that we collect may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which we operate in order to enable us to use the information in accordance with this privacy policy.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the United Kingdom, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

(a) we will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data; and

(b) where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the United Kingdom which give your personal data the same protection it has in the United Kingdom.

For more information, please contact us. In addition, personal information that you submit for publication on the Website will be published on the internet and may be available, via the internet, around the world.

You expressly agree to such transfers of personal information.

(7) Disclosures of your personal data

We may disclose information about you to any of our employees, officers, agents, suppliers or subcontractors insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes as set out in this privacy policy.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specific purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

In addition, we may disclose information about you:

(a) to the extent that we are required to do so by law, government or competent authorities;

(b) in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings;

(c) in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk). For example, we may share personal data with our professional advisors, investigators, or credit reference agencies;

(d) with suppliers and subcontractors, as necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy;

(e) with our international network of partners; and
