2. Hosting and server logs

This website is delivered through Vercel. When you visit, technical connection data may be processed, including IP address, time, requested URL, referrer, browser and device information, and operational or security logs. This is necessary to operate and protect the website. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The execution region depends on the Vercel project configuration. See Vercel's Privacy Notice and Data Processing Addendum.

3. Enquiry form and email delivery

If you submit an enquiry, we process your name, email address, whether you enquire as a business or individual, your project description and any images you choose to upload. We use these details to review and respond to your request. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual steps).

You must confirm your email address before the enquiry is forwarded. Unconfirmed data is held until the 24-hour confirmation link expires and are automatically deleted no later than seven days afterwards. After confirmation, the enquiry and images are emailed to us and retained in the website database for no more than 90 days, then removed in the daily cleanup. Copies in our Zoho mailbox are subject to its separate retention and deletion rules.

The database is provided by Neon (PostgreSQL) in AWS region us-east-2, United States. We use Zoho SMTP through its EU endpoint for email. See Neon's Privacy Notice and Zoho's Privacy Policy.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

We currently use no analytics or marketing cookies, analytics services or advertising pixels.

5. International transfers

The Neon database is located in the United States, so enquiry data is transferred outside the European Economic Area. The applicable processing and transfer terms are those of the service providers used. You may contact us for details of the safeguards applicable to a specific transfer.

6. Your rights

Subject to legal requirements, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability, or object to processing based on legitimate interests. You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future. You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, including the North Rhine-Westphalia Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.

To exercise your rights, email fi@studio-fi.com. Providing the information needed for an enquiry is voluntary, but we cannot process the enquiry without it. We do not make automated decisions with legal effects.
