Scope

This notice applies to our websites, studio communications, and customer support. It does not cover third-party services we link to; review their policies separately.

What we collect

We may collect contact details (name, email, phone), order details (items, sizes, notes), technical data (IP address, device and browser type), and basic usage analytics that help us improve navigation and content relevance.

Where data comes from

Most information is provided directly by you when you browse, place an order, or contact us. Limited technical data is generated automatically by your device and our web platform when you interact with the site.

Why we process data

We use data to provide services you request, fulfill orders, answer questions, prevent fraud, secure our systems, and refine the experience so pages load reliably and content remains useful.

Our legal bases include performance of a contract, legitimate interests (such as security and service quality), consent where required, and compliance with legal obligations.

How long we keep data

We retain personal data only for as long as needed to meet the purpose it was collected for, plus any period required by law or to resolve disputes. When no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

How we share information

We share data only with service providers who help deliver our site, payments, logistics, or support. They must use it solely to provide contracted services and protect it under strict confidentiality terms.

Transfers across borders

When data moves outside your country, we implement appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) to maintain a protection level consistent with applicable law.

Cookies & similar technologies

We use a minimal set of cookies for essential functions (security, session continuity) and basic analytics. You can adjust preferences in your browser; some features may become limited when essential cookies are blocked.

Security

We apply layered safeguards including encryption in transit, access controls, and least-privilege practices. We review our measures periodically and update them to address evolving risks.

Children’s privacy

Our site is designed for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided data to us, contact us and we will address it promptly.

Exercising your rights

You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of your personal data, and you may object to certain processing. We will respond within applicable legal timeframes.
