Data We Collect

We may process contact details, inquiry content, project specifications, product counts, reference materials, shot lists, booking and payment records, delivery preferences, proofing feedback, and technical data such as device or browser information. Where needed for studio work, we also process information shared in product intake, sample setup review, and private gallery access.

The data collected depends on the inquiry, booking, and delivery steps used.

How We Collect Data

We receive personal data from website forms, email messages, planning calls, booking communications, product delivery arrangements, proof gallery interactions, and file delivery steps. We may also generate limited technical data through website operation and security logs.

Most data comes directly from the person making the inquiry or booking.

Cookie Types

Essential cookies support core site functions such as form handling and session security. Preference cookies remember selected settings. Analytics or similar cookies, if used, help us understand general site use and improve performance. Non-essential cookies are used only where permitted.

We use only standard categories of cookies for operation, preferences, and basic measurement.

Cookie Control

You may block or delete cookies in your browser, but some site functions may not work as intended. Where consent is required for non-essential cookies, you may withdraw it through the available preference mechanism or by changing your browser settings.

Cookie choices can be adjusted through browser settings and, where available, site controls.
User Rights

Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of your personal data. You may also raise concerns about how your data is handled. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

Available rights depend on the legal basis and any mandatory retention rules.
Requests

How to Make a Request

To exercise your rights, send a clear request describing the data or processing concerned. We may ask for information needed to confirm your identity and to locate the relevant records. If a request cannot be fully granted, we will explain the reason where required by law.

Data Retention

Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the relevant project, communication, accounting, legal, or security purpose. After that, data is deleted, anonymized, or archived where retention is required by law or justified by a legitimate business need.

Retention is based on the purpose of collection and applicable legal obligations.
