BENSS collects only the information needed to answer enquiries, arrange viewings, document professional correspondence, and operate this website responsibly.

Information We Collect

We may collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, telephone number, company, country, artwork interest, appointment preferences, and the content of an enquiry. We may also receive limited technical information such as browser type, device type, referring page, approximate location, and interaction data when analytics are enabled.

We use information to answer enquiries, arrange private viewings, prepare condition or transport information, maintain professional correspondence, improve the clarity and performance of the website, prevent misuse, and meet legal or administrative obligations. We do not use submitted details to make automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects.

Copyright & reproduction

All fine art designs displayed on this website are protected by copyright and other applicable intellectual property laws.

No reproduction, copying, downloading, scanning, tracing, duplication, modification, adaptation, distribution, publication, resale, commercial use, or creation of derivative works is permitted.

The works displayed on this website are provided for viewing purposes only. No permission or licence to reproduce, copy, use, modify, distribute, or commercially exploit any artwork is granted by viewing, accessing, or visiting this website.

PURCHASE OF ORIGINAL ARTWORK

When an original artwork is purchased, the purchaser acquires ownership of the physical artwork and may display the purchased artwork for personal, private, or decorative purposes.

Purchase of an original artwork does not transfer the copyright or intellectual property rights in the artwork. The artist/copyright owner retains all copyright and reproduction rights unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise.

The purchaser may not reproduce, copy, scan, photograph for commercial purposes, print, publish, modify, distribute, license, resell reproductions, create derivative works from, or otherwise commercially exploit the artwork without prior written permission from the copyright owner.

Any unauthorized use or reproduction may constitute copyright infringement and may result in legal action and/or other remedies available under applicable law.

Cookies and Analytics

The website uses essential cookies required for security and basic operation. With consent where required, privacy-conscious analytics may measure aggregate visits, page performance, and navigation patterns. Analytics data is reviewed in aggregate and is not used to build advertising profiles.

Legal Bases

Where applicable, processing may rely on consent, steps taken at your request before entering an agreement, performance of an agreement, compliance with a legal obligation, or legitimate interests such as responding to professional enquiries, protecting the website, and improving its usefulness.

Data Sharing

Information may be shared with carefully selected service providers that support hosting, form delivery, email, scheduling, professional advice, artwork logistics, or security. Providers should receive only what is necessary and be bound by appropriate confidentiality and data-protection terms. We do not sell personal information.

International Transfers

Some service providers may process information outside your country. When required, BENSS relies on adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or another lawful transfer safeguard, and limits access to the information needed to provide the service.

Data Retention

Enquiry records are kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to answer the request, maintain an accurate professional record, comply with law, resolve disputes, or establish legal claims. Retention periods are reviewed periodically and records are securely deleted when no longer required.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of personal information, and to withdraw consent. You may also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. Requests should be sent using the contact details below.

Data Security

BENSS maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures to protect information against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. No online system is completely secure, so providers, access controls, and incident procedures are reviewed regularly.

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for a general professional and adult audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that such information has been submitted, we will delete it promptly where required.

Policy Updates and Contact

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in the website, providers, or law. The effective date will be revised when material changes are made. Questions or rights requests may be sent to privacy@verai.gallery or BENSS, 18 Rue des Verrières, 75003 Paris, France.
