Where a message concerns a possible commission, acquisition of an artwork, exhibition, collaboration or other potential agreement, processing may also be necessary in order to take steps at the visitor’s request before entering into a contract, pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
4. Data Retention
Messages submitted through the contact form and the related correspondence will be retained only for as long as necessary to process and answer the enquiry.
They may be retained for up to two years from the last meaningful communication, where this is necessary to maintain a record of the exchange or respond to a subsequent message concerning the same matter.

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
These measures may include encrypted HTTPS connections, restricted administrative access, software updates, secure passwords, backups and anti-spam protection.
