THE DATA WE HOLD ABOUT YOU
We do this by using “cookies” A cookie is a tiny piece of information that a website stores to save and collect basic information.

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer.
To increase our visitors’ interest, we may link to sites operated by third parties. However, even if the third party is affiliated with Angela Chalmers (Fine Artist), we have no control over these linked sites, all of which have separate privacy and data collection practices that are independent of Angela Chalmers (Fine Artist). These linked sites are provided for your convenience, but you access them at your own risk. Angela Chalmers [Fine Artist] wants to protect the integrity of our website and the links placed upon it, and therefore asks for any feedback on not only her site but also the sites it links to, as well as whether a specific link does not work.
