Samuel Lynne Galleries ("Samuel Lynne Galleries," "we," "our," or "us") respects the privacy of visitors to our website and clients of our gallery. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information when you visit samuellynne.com, contact the gallery, attend a gallery event, opt in to receive communications from us, or otherwise interact with Samuel Lynne Galleries.
By using our website or providing information to the gallery, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

3. SMS and Mobile Information
This section describes how we handle mobile phone numbers and information collected through our SMS program.
How we collect SMS opt-in
We collect SMS opt-in consent only through the following methods:
• Website forms at samuellynne.com that include a clearly labeled, unchecked SMS consent checkbox alongside the phone number field. The checkbox states the categories of messages you may receive, the approximate frequency, the standard disclosures (Reply STOP to unsubscribe, Reply HELP for help, message and data rates may apply), and links to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. The checkbox must be ticked by you for SMS to be enabled.
• Printed or tablet-based forms used at our Dallas, Houston, Chicago, and Whitefish gallery locations, which contain the same SMS consent checkbox and disclosure language as the website forms. Staff are instructed not to pre-tick the checkbox on your behalf.
What you will receive
If you opt in to SMS, you may receive promotional messages such as exhibition invitations, private viewing invitations, and new artwork release notifications, and transactional messages such as appointment confirmations, artwork hold notifications, and shipping confirmations. Message frequency varies and is typically up to six messages per month. Message and data rates may apply.
How to opt out
You can opt out of SMS at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from Samuel Lynne Galleries. You will receive a single confirmation message and will not receive further marketing or promotional SMS messages from us. You can also opt out by contacting us at info@samuellynne.com or by calling the gallery.
Sharing of mobile information
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors or service providers in support of the services we provide to you (for example, the messaging platform that delivers our SMS) is permitted only as strictly necessary to operate the SMS program, and those subcontractors are contractually prohibited from using your mobile information for any other purpose. All other categories of information may be shared with third parties as described in Section 4 of this Privacy Policy.
4. How We Share Your Information
We share personal information only as described below:
• Service providers we engage to operate our website, send communications, process payments, ship artwork, conduct marketing analytics, or provide professional services such as legal, accounting, and insurance. Service providers are bound by confidentiality and may use your information only as necessary to perform services for us.
• Artists, art advisors, and industry partners, where doing so is necessary to fulfill your inquiry or transaction (for example, coordinating a studio visit or arranging a private viewing).
• Legal and regulatory authorities, where we are required to disclose information by law, subpoena, court order, or legal process, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Samuel Lynne Galleries, our clients, or others.
• In connection with a corporate transaction such as a sale, merger, financing, or restructuring, where personal information may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the protections of this Privacy Policy.
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We do not share your mobile phone number with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
