2. General information
I take the protection of your personal data seriously. I process personal data only where this is permitted by applicable data protection law and only to the extent necessary for operating this website, communicating with you and processing orders.

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual, such as a name, email address, postal address, IP address or order information.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data may be processed when you visit this website, contact me or purchase an artwork, why it is processed, and what rights you have in relation to your personal data.

3. Website hosting and technical operation
This website is operated using Squarespace Ireland Ltd., Squarespace House, Ship Street Great, Dublin 8, Ireland, D08 N12C.

When you visit this website, certain technical information may be processed automatically to enable the website to be delivered securely and reliably. This may include information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, device information, referring website, pages visited and the date and time of access.

The processing of such information is necessary for the secure and technically reliable operation of the website and is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, where applicable.

Further information about Squarespace's processing of personal data can be found in Squarespace's Privacy Policy.

4. Cookies and similar technologies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies where necessary for its technical operation.

Necessary cookies may be required, for example, to enable essential website functions such as navigation, shopping-cart functionality and checkout.

Where non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used for analytics, performance, marketing or other purposes, they will only be activated where the legally required consent has been obtained.

You can manage or withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies through the cookie settings provided on this website.

Please note that disabling necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the website and online shop.

5. Website analytics
This website uses Squarespace Analytics to understand how visitors use the website and to improve its content and functionality. Depending on the configuration, information such as IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring pages, interactions and timestamps may be processed.

Non-essential analytics cookies are used only where the required consent has been obtained.

6. Orders and online shop
When you place an order through the online shop, I process the personal data necessary to fulfil and administer your order.

This may include:

  • name

  • billing and shipping address

  • email address

  • telephone number, where provided

  • details of the artwork ordered

  • selected size, framing and other product options

  • payment and transaction information

  • order and delivery information

This information is processed to establish and fulfil the contractual relationship with you and to comply with applicable legal obligations. The legal basis is generally Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and, where applicable, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

I only collect and process the information necessary for these purposes.

7. Payment processing
Payments are processed through the payment methods offered during checkout.

Depending on the payment method selected, payment information may be transmitted directly to the relevant payment service provider. I do not receive or store complete payment-card details where these are processed directly by the payment provider.

For example, if you choose PayPal, payment processing is carried out by PayPal under its own privacy policy and terms.

The relevant payment provider may process additional information necessary to authenticate and complete the transaction and to prevent fraud.

8. Shipping and fulfilment
To fulfil orders, personal data necessary for production, framing and delivery may be shared with the service providers involved in fulfilling your order.

This may include your name, shipping address, email address, telephone number where necessary, order details and delivery information.

Depending on the destination and selected product, fulfilment may involve production and shipping partners located in Germany, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States or other relevant locations.

Such service providers process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide the contracted services and, where applicable, on the basis of appropriate contractual data-processing arrangements.

9. Contact by email
If you contact me by email, the personal data contained in your message, including your email address and any information you provide, will be processed for the purpose of handling and responding to your enquiry.

The legal basis is generally Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to the performance or initiation of a contract, or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR where there is another legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry.

I retain correspondence only for as long as necessary to handle the enquiry and, where applicable, for as long as required to comply with statutory retention obligations.

10. Legal bases for processing
Depending on the circumstances, personal data may be processed on the following legal bases:

  • Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR – consent

  • Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR – processing necessary for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures

  • Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR – processing necessary for compliance with a legal obligation

  • Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – processing necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests, provided that these interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

11. Data retention
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the respective purpose or as required by applicable statutory retention obligations.

Order and accounting information may be retained for longer periods where this is required by German commercial or tax law.

Once the applicable retention period has expired, the relevant data will be deleted unless further processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

12. Recipients of personal data
Personal data may be shared with service providers where this is necessary to operate the website, process orders or provide requested services.

Depending on the circumstances, these may include:

  • Squarespace

  • payment service providers

  • production and printing partners

  • framing and fulfilment partners

  • shipping and delivery providers

  • IT and hosting service providers

  • tax, accounting or legal advisers where necessary

I do not sell personal data to third parties.

13. International data transfers
Some service providers used to operate this website or process orders may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including in the United States.

Where personal data is transferred to a country outside the EEA, such transfers are carried out only where permitted under applicable data protection law and using an appropriate legal transfer mechanism where required, such as an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses.

  • Right of access – you may request information about whether and how your personal data is being processed.

  • Right to rectification – you may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

  • Right to erasure – you may request deletion of your personal data where the legal requirements are met.

  • Right to object – you may object to certain processing based on legitimate interests.

  • Right to withdraw consent – where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact: hi@itsbennyfuchs.com

15. Right to lodge a complaint
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates applicable data protection law.

You may contact the supervisory authority responsible for your place of residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

16. Data security
I use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or unauthorised access.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information can guarantee absolute security.
