Athenaeum Fine Art & Antiques (“we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your rights regarding that information.

Who we are. Athenaeum Fine Art & Antiques is a trading name of Athenaeum Rare Books & Antiques LLC, a limited liability company registered in New York City. You can contact us at enquire@athenaeumart.com.

What we collect. When you contact us through our enquiry form or by email, we collect the information you choose to provide — typically your name, email address, and the content of your message. We do not collect payment-card details through this website; any payment is arranged separately and securely once a purchase is agreed.

Why we collect it. We use your information solely to respond to your enquiry, to discuss and arrange any purchase or shipping, and to maintain our records of correspondence and transactions. We do not use it for automated marketing, and we will not contact you with unsolicited promotional material unless you have asked us to.

How we share it. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only where necessary to fulfil your request — for example, with shipping and insurance providers to arrange delivery of a purchase, or with payment providers (such as PayPal or our bank) to process payment. These parties handle your information under their own privacy obligations.

Cookies. Our website does not set tracking or advertising cookies.

How long we keep it. We retain enquiry and transaction records for as long as necessary to provide our services, maintain our business records, and meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations, after which they are securely deleted or archived.

Your rights. Depending on your location, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to request its correction or deletion, to object to or restrict its processing, and to request a copy of it. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at enquire@athenaeumart.com and we will respond within a reasonable period and as required by applicable law.

International visitors. We are based in the United States and ship worldwide. If you contact us from outside the United States, including from the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, your information will be processed in the United States. We take reasonable steps to protect it consistent with this policy.

Changes. We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always posted on this page with its date.
