PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: September 2026
Art MOT is run by Jo Brooks and Will Harris. We take your privacy seriously and only collect and use personal information where we need it to provide our services, respond to enquiries and operate our website.
This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it and your rights.
What information we collect
When you contact us through the Art MOT website, we may collect:
your name;
your email address;
your website or Instagram account; and
any information you choose to include in your enquiry.
If you go on to book an Art MOT, we may also collect information you provide through our pre-session questionnaire, correspondence and conversations with us. This may include information about your artistic practice, career, business and professional goals.
We may also collect limited technical information about visits to our website through cookies and website analytics.
How we use your information
We use your information to:
respond to your enquiry;
decide whether and how Art MOT can help you;
arrange and deliver an Art MOT;
prepare for your session and produce your personalised roadmap;
communicate with you about the service; and
operate and improve our website and services.
We will not sell your personal information or use the information you provide through an Art MOT enquiry to send you unrelated marketing.
Our legal basis for using your information
Under UK data protection law, we need a lawful basis for using your personal information.
Where you contact us about an Art MOT or become a client, we generally process your information because it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, or to fulfil our agreement with you.
We may also process limited information where we have a legitimate interest in running and improving Art MOT, provided those interests do not override your rights and interests.
Where consent is required — for example, for certain non-essential cookies — we will ask for it.
Who we share your information with
Information you provide to Art MOT may be accessed by both Jo Brooks and Will Harris where necessary to respond to your enquiry or provide the service.
We may also use trusted service providers to operate Art MOT, including providers of our website, online forms, email and other business systems. These providers may process personal information on our behalf.
We will not share your personal information with other third parties unless we need to do so to provide the service, are required to do so by law, or have your permission.
International data transfers
Some of the technology providers we use may process or store information outside the UK. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate protections are in place in accordance with UK data protection law.
How long we keep your information
We keep personal information only for as long as we reasonably need it for the purposes described in this policy, including providing our services, maintaining appropriate business records and meeting any legal, accounting or tax requirements.
We periodically review the information we hold and delete information that we no longer need.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to make the site work and to help us understand how it is used.
Some cookies are essential to the operation of the website. Where we use non-essential cookies, we will ask for your consent where required. You can change your cookie preferences through the options provided on the website.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you have rights over your personal information. Depending on the circumstances, these may include the right to ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you, to correct inaccurate information, to delete information, to restrict or object to its use, or to transfer certain information to another organisation.
You can also withdraw your consent at any time where we rely on consent to use your information.
To exercise any of these rights, or if you have a question about how we use your information, contact us at will@the-boardwalk.co.uk.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK regulator for data protection.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time, for example if our services or the technology we use change. The latest version will always be available on this page.
