At Beam Culture Ltd, privacy is fundamental to our practice. We work with discerning, high-value clients and approach every engagement with discretion, integrity, and respect for confidentiality.

We are committed to safeguarding your personal information in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and manage your personal information when you engage with our consultancy, advisory services, or website.

By accessing our services, you acknowledge and accept the practices described below.

For the purposes of UK data protection law, Beam Culture Ltd acts as the Data Controller of your personal information.

Business name: Beam Culture Ltd
Location: London, United Kingdom
Email: info@beam-culture.com

We collect only information necessary to deliver a highly personalised, professional service.

This may include:

Personal Details

Full name
Email address
Telephone number
Billing address
Confirmation of payments for our professional fees (we do not store full card details)

Client & Project Information

Consultation notes and correspondence
Artistic preferences, briefs, and curatorial direction
Property or installation details where relevant
Acquisition history facilitated by us
Communications exchanged during the course of our engagement

Technical Information (Website Use)

Where applicable, limited technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and basic analytics via cookies.

We do not collect unnecessary data.

Under UK GDPR, we process your personal data on the following lawful bases:

Performance of a contract – to provide our consultancy and advisory services
Legitimate interests – to operate and improve our business while respecting your privacy
Legal obligation – for accounting, tax, and regulatory requirements

Consent – where you have explicitly provided it (for example, introductions to artists or galleries)

Your information is used exclusively to:

Deliver consultation and art advisory services
Manage bookings, invoicing, and payments for our professional fees
Communicate with you regarding your project
Facilitate introductions or acquisitions with artists or galleries, with your consent
Maintain internal records
Comply with legal and accounting obligations

We do not sell, rent, or commercially exploit client information.

Where artwork purchases are facilitated by Beam Culture Ltd:

Transactions are completed directly between you and the artist or gallery. Artwork funds do not pass through Beam Culture Ltd.
Beam Culture Ltd will assist in negotiating and facilitating commercial terms, including pricing and acquisition arrangements, acting in an advisory and intermediary capacity. Final contracts of sale are entered into directly between buyer and seller.
Only essential personal information is shared with artists or galleries for the purpose of completing approved acquisitions.

Beam Culture Ltd may retain non-identifiable acquisition data (such as pricing ranges, artist performance, sales volumes, and market activity) for internal analysis, market insight, and business development purposes. This information is anonymised and aggregated and is never used in a manner that identifies individual clients.

Client identities, collections, and acquisition details are treated as strictly confidential.

From time to time, Beam Culture Ltd may announce or reference artist sales or placements. Buyer identities will never be disclosed without explicit prior written consent.

Client confidentiality is paramount.

We do not disclose client identities, projects, collections, or acquisitions without explicit written consent. This includes use in portfolios, press, testimonials, or marketing materials.

Every engagement is handled with professional discretion.

Your information may be shared only where necessary and solely with:

Artists or galleries (to facilitate approved acquisitions)
Payment processors (for our service fees only)
Professional advisors such as accountants or legal counsel, where legally required

All third parties are expected to uphold appropriate confidentiality and data protection standards.

We employ reasonable technical and organisational safeguards appropriate to a premium professional service, including:

Secure digital storage
Restricted access to client records
Encrypted communications where appropriate

While no system can guarantee absolute security, we take every reasonable measure to protect your information.

Where information is shared outside the UK (for example with international artists or galleries), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR requirements.

Client information is retained only for as long as necessary to:

Fulfil our services
Maintain legitimate business records
Meet legal or accounting requirements

You may request deletion of your data, subject to applicable legal obligations.

You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request erasure of your data
Restrict or object to processing
Request data portability
Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent)
