Privacy

The short version

This site has no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking cookies. Nothing you do here is profiled or sold. The only personal data that reaches the studio is what you choose to put in an email or the contact form, and it is used for one purpose: answering you.

The detail below exists because the law asks for it, not because something complicated is happening behind the scenes.

Who is responsible

The controller for the processing described here is the proprietorship named in the imprint. Questions, requests and complaints can be sent to studio@example.com and will be answered within two working days.

What is collected

Two categories, and no others.

• Technical data your browser sends automatically to the hosting provider in order for a page to load at all.
• Data you submit deliberately through the contact form or by writing to the studio directly.

No special categories of data are sought, and none should be sent through the form. If a project genuinely requires sensitive information, it is better handled over a call.

Server log files

The hosting provider records standard access logs, which may include the requesting IP address, the page requested, the time of the request, the referring page, and the browser and operating system in use. These logs exist for security and troubleshooting, are not combined with any other data, and are not used to build a profile of anyone.

The legal basis is the legitimate interest in operating a site that stays up and resists abuse.

The contact form

The form on the contact page does not transmit anything on its own. Submitting it assembles the text you typed and opens it in your own email program, so you remain the sender and can edit or abandon the message before it goes anywhere. Nothing is stored on this website in the process.

Once a message arrives, it is held in the studio mailbox along with any details it contains — typically a name, an email address, a company, and a description of the project — and used to reply and, where it leads to work, to carry that work out.

Cookies and storage

No cookies are set by this site. No consent banner appears because there is nothing to consent to. Your browser may keep ordinary cached copies of pages and images, as it does for any website, and that cache is under your control, not the studio’s.

Third-party services

Some resources are loaded from external providers when a page opens, which means those providers receive your IP address as a technical necessity of delivering the file.

None of these are used for analytics here, and no identifiers are passed to them. If you would rather avoid them altogether, these files can be self-hosted — a change worth making before the site goes into production in a jurisdiction that takes a strict view of such transfers.

How long data is kept

• Access logs: deleted by the hosting provider on a rolling basis, typically within thirty days.
• Enquiries that do not lead to work: kept for up to one year, then deleted.
• Project correspondence and invoices: retained for ten years, as commercial and tax law requires.

Your rights

You may ask what data is held about you, request a copy of it, have inaccuracies corrected, have it deleted where no retention obligation applies, object to processing based on legitimate interest, or ask for it in a portable form.

Exercising any of these costs nothing and requires no particular form of words — an email saying what you want is enough. You also have the right to complain to the supervisory authority in your country if you believe the handling of your data breaches the law.

Changes to this notice

This notice will be revised whenever the site changes in a way that affects it, such as adding a form that stores submissions or introducing a statistics tool. The date at the top of the page always reflects the current version, and earlier versions are available on request.
