Last updated: 31 July 2026

Anikara ("we", "us", "our") is a sole trader business based in London, United Kingdom. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit anikara.co.uk or contact us about our block printing workshops, events, and products.

Who we are

Anikara is operated by Niketa Patel, trading as Anikara. You can contact us at hello@anikara.co.uk. For any questions about this policy or your data, please use the same email address.

What information we collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

• Your name, email address, and telephone number when you submit our contact form
• Details about your enquiry (e.g. event type, dates, message content)
• Any information you share with us via WhatsApp, Instagram, or email

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data, and we do not use tracking cookies to build advertising profiles.

How we use your information

• To respond to your enquiry and provide the service, event, or product you've requested
• To send you information you've asked for (e.g. quotes, booking confirmations)
• To keep basic business records, as required by UK law

We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Legal basis for processing

We process your data on the basis of consent (when you submit an enquiry) and legitimate interest (to respond to and fulfil that enquiry), in accordance with UK GDPR.

How we store your information

Contact form submissions are processed via Formspree, a third-party form service, and stored in our email inbox. We take reasonable steps to keep this information secure, but no method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

How long we keep your information

We keep enquiry details for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to you and maintain business records, typically no longer than 24 months, unless a longer period is required by law (e.g. for accounting purposes).

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict our processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@anikara.co.uk.
