General information

Studio Present is committed to data privacy and welcomes the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force on 25 May 2018. This legislation gives you greater security, transparency, and control over your personal data online. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. All data of a personal nature that identifies you directly or indirectly will be handled fairly, lawfully, and with due care. Please note that data transmitted via the internet (e.g. email) may be subject to security breaches — complete protection from third-party access is not possible.

How do we collect your data?

Some data is collected when you provide it to us — for example, what you enter in our contact form. Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website (statistics).

Our use of data

Under GDPR, every website visitor can choose to accept or decline the collection of their personal data. Studio Present collects and processes only the necessary data from users who have given consent, with a clearly stated purpose, in accordance with the procedures governed by legislation. We mainly use your data to compile statistics for project reporting. Part of the data is collected to ensure the proper functioning of the website and enhance the user experience.

What we know about you

• We collect usage data from your computer or general information about your visit. We cannot identify you personally unless you willingly give us your personal data.
• We use Google Analytics to count the number of users who visit our website and to understand their needs better so as to improve user experience.
• We do not know your email address unless you send it to us via email or contact forms.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, and receive your personal data, as well as restrict its processing or object to the same, as provided in Articles 17 to 24 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. You can contact us at any time using our contact form if you have such a request or further questions about privacy and data protection. If you would like to receive the data we processed based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, this will be done in a standard, machine-readable format to the extent technically feasible.

How long can data be kept?

Personal data will be kept only for the time needed to achieve the purpose for which it is processed. All data relating to a project will be stored for the duration of the project. In the event of a formal appeal, all data held at the time of the appeal will be retained until the completion of the appeal process.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you require the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Revocation of your consent

Many data processing operations are only possible with your expressed consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect — an informal email making this request is sufficient. Data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

Information, blocking, deletion

As permitted by law, you have the right to be provided at any time with information free of charge about any of your personal data that is stored, as well as its origin, the recipient, and the purpose for which it has been processed. You also have the right to have this data corrected, blocked, or deleted. You can contact us at any time using the address given in our legal notice.

Opposition to promotional emails

We hereby expressly prohibit the use of contact data published in the context of website legal notice requirements for the purpose of sending promotional and informational materials not expressly requested. The website operator reserves the right to take legal action if unsolicited advertising material, such as email spam, is received.

Amendments to this privacy policy

• Studio Present can amend this Privacy Policy as needed.
• Studio Present keeps the right to change this Privacy Policy when necessary, in order to align and act in accordance with relevant legislation and regulations.
• If we implement changes, we will not explicitly inform our clients or website users. We recommend you visit this page occasionally to stay informed.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection in your browser’s address line when it changes from “http://” to “https://” and the lock icon is displayed. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

Third-party data processing

When visiting our website, statistical analyses may be made of your surfing behavior. This happens primarily using cookies and analytics. The analysis of your surfing behavior is usually anonymous — we will not be able to identify you from this data. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools.

We collaborate with the following third-party data processors: Google, MiniCRM, and Facebook. Each of these providers has its own privacy policy available on their respective websites.

What are cookies?

Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. They are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies” — they are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device’s memory until you delete them, and make it possible to recognize your browser the next time you visit the site.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

How we use cookies

• Website analytics and performance cookies — used only for tracking users’ visits to our website and internal pages. The whole process is anonymous; we cannot discover the identity of our website users by any means.
• Audience targeting cookies — connected with Facebook Pixel and used for more precise targeting during Facebook ad placement.

Contact form

Should you send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered in the form, including the contact details you provide, to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your permission.

We will retain the data you provide in the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains. Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected.

Google reCAPTCHA

In order to ensure sufficient data security during the transmission of forms, we use reCAPTCHA provided by Google. This is mainly used to distinguish whether the input is made by a natural person or created automatically. In the frame of this service, Google will receive the IP address and possibly other data required. For further information on the privacy policy of Google, please refer to google.com/policies/privacy.
