Visitor Information
During the course of any visit to Sculpture-Gallery.co.uk, the pages you see, along with a short text file called a 'cookie', are downloaded to your computer. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the computer (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.
Information supplied by cookies can help us to provide you with a better online user experience and assist us to analyse the profile of our visitors.

Use and storage of your personal information
When you supply any personal information to Sculpture-Gallery.co.uk (e.g. for competitions, Sculpture-Gallery.co.uk Community services or Sculpture-Gallery.co.uk membership) we have legal obligations towards you in the way we use those data. We must collect the information fairly, that is, we must explain how we will use it (see the notices on particular webpages that let you know why we are requesting the information) and tell you if we want to pass the information on to anyone else.
In general, any information you provide to the Sculpture-Gallery.co.uk will only be used within the Sculpture-Gallery.co.uk and by its agents and service providers. Your information will be disclosed where we are obliged or permitted by law. Also, if you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to Sculpture-Gallery.co.uk or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on Sculpture-Gallery.co.uk, the Sculpture-Gallery.co.uk can use whatever information that is available to it about you to stop such behaviour. This may involve informing relevant third parties such as your employer, school e-mail/Internet provider and law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.
We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as you use the service you have requested, and remove it in the event that the purpose has been met, or, in the case of Sculpture-Gallery.co.uk membership you no longer wish to continue your registration as a Sculpture-Gallery.co.uk member. For safety reasons, however, the Sculpture-Gallery.co.uk may store messaging transcript data (including message content, member names, times and dates) arising from the use of Sculpture-Gallery.co.uk Community services such as Connector for a period of six months. Where personal information is held for people who are not yet registered but have taken part in other Sculpture-Gallery.co.uk services (e.g. competitions), that information will be held as long as is necessary to ensure that the service is run smoothly. We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
