Website privacy

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 July 2026

This policy explains how LeedsArtist.co.uk handles personal information. The site is for Melanie Hughes, a Leeds based artist, and is intended to provide information about her artwork and a direct way to make email enquiries.

Who is responsible for this site

LeedsArtist.co.uk is the portfolio website for Melanie Hughes. You can contact Melanie by emailing [email protected].

Information this site collects

This website does not use a contact form, account system or checkout. If you email Melanie, your email address and the information you choose to include will be used to reply to your enquiry about artwork, commissions, exhibitions or creative projects.

Cookies, analytics and advertising

The current version of this website does not set optional analytics cookies and does not show advertising. If analytics, embedded content, affiliate links or adverts are added later, this policy and the cookie policy should be updated before those services are enabled.

If Google advertising services such as Google AdSense are used in future, Google and its partners may use cookies to serve and measure ads. Google advertising cookies can help show more relevant ads and limit repeated ads. Visitors can manage ad personalisation through their Google account and browser settings.

Third party vendors

The site may be hosted by a web hosting provider that processes basic server logs, such as IP address, browser type, requested page and time of visit, for security and reliability. These logs are normally handled by the hosting provider and are not used to personally profile visitors.

How information is used

Email enquiry information is used to respond to the enquiry, discuss artwork or commissions, arrange exhibitions or collaborations, and keep a record of the conversation where needed.

Your choices

You can choose not to email Melanie, can ask for an email conversation to be deleted where appropriate, and can manage cookies through your browser. If advertising or analytics cookies are introduced later, the site should provide clear consent choices where required.

Data retention

Email enquiries may be kept for as long as needed to manage the conversation, complete a commission or maintain reasonable business records.

Updates

This policy may be updated if the website changes, especially if analytics, advertising, embedded media or new enquiry features are added.
