- Biographical information provided for exhibition purposes
- Your portrait (photograph or artistic depiction)
- Any correspondence with us (e.g. emails, nominations)

Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data under the following lawful bases:
Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f), UK GDPR)
We rely on legitimate interests for:
- Creating and publishing portraits and stories as artistic and cultural documentation
- Maintaining a public-facing archive
- Sharing content through exhibitions and media
- Communicating with nominators and participants efficiently
We have conducted a Legitimate Interests Assessment (LIA) and are satisfied that this processing is necessary, balanced, and respectful of your rights.
Consent (Article 6(1)(a), UK GDPR)
We may also rely on your consent for specific actions — such as confirming participation or accepting a nomination. Participation in Frameworthy is strictly opt-in.
Data Retention
Portraits, names, and accompanying texts form part of Frameworthy’s archive and are retained indefinitely. Other personal data (e.g. contact details and communication history) is kept only as long as necessary for administration, legal obligations, or safeguarding record-keeping.
Data Sharing
We do not sell or share your data for marketing purposes.
We may share data with trusted service providers who support our operations (e.g. printers, web hosts, email platforms), under data protection agreements ensuring confidentiality and lawful handling.
Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Object to processing based on legitimate interest
- Withdraw consent where applicable
- Lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)
To exercise these rights, please contact: proudly@frameworthy.co
Please note: once portraits and exhibition texts are confirmed and published, they become part of our artistic archive and are not subject to deletion requests.
Cookies and Analytics
Our website uses basic cookies and analytics tools to track anonymous usage (e.g. page views, browser type). These do not identify individual users and are used solely to improve website functionality and engagement.
Curatorial Discretion
Our exhibitions are opt-in, but all curatorial decisions rest solely with Frameworthy — not with participants. Being invited to take part does not guarantee inclusion. We retain full editorial and curatorial control over who is featured, how stories are presented, and which portraits are exhibited. We do not share internal curatorial decisions.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in law or our practices. The most current version will always be available at:
