2. Personal Information We Collect

We may collect personal information when you voluntarily provide it to us through the website, by email or through other forms of communication.

This information may include your name, email address, telephone number, company or brand name, website, social media profiles, project information, estimated budget, preferred timeline, services of interest and any other information you choose to include when contacting us or submitting a client application.

When you visit the website, certain technical information may also be collected automatically. This can include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location, pages visited, time spent on the website and information about how you interact with the site.

This technical information may be collected through cookies or similar technologies, subject to your consent where required by applicable law.

3. How We Use Your Information

Personal information collected through this website may be used to respond to inquiries, review project applications, evaluate whether a potential project is suitable for An Studio, prepare proposals, communicate with prospective and existing clients, provide contracted creative services and manage ongoing client relationships.

We may also use your information for administrative purposes, including invoicing, accounting, project management, internal records and compliance with legal or regulatory obligations.

Where you have provided your consent, we may use your email address to send newsletters, studio updates, project announcements, availability notices or other communications relating to An Studio.
We will not use your personal information for purposes that are incompatible with those described in this Privacy Policy without providing additional information or obtaining your consent where required.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, An Studio processes personal data on one or more of the following legal bases.
Processing may be necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, such as when you submit a project inquiry or request information about our services.

Processing may also be necessary for the performance of a contract when you become a client of An Studio.

In certain circumstances, we may process information on the basis of our legitimate interests, including responding to professional inquiries, maintaining the security of our website, improving our services and managing our business operations, provided those interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Where required, we will rely on your consent, particularly in relation to certain marketing communications, cookies and analytics technologies.

We may also process personal data when necessary to comply with legal obligations applicable to An Studio.

5. Project Applications and Client Inquiries

When you submit a client application or contact An Studio regarding a potential project, the information you provide will be used to understand your business, project requirements, goals, timing and budget.

Submitting an inquiry does not create a contractual relationship between you and An Studio and does not guarantee project availability or acceptance.

The information contained in unsuccessful or inactive project inquiries may be retained for a reasonable period in case you contact us again, unless you request its deletion or applicable law requires a different retention period.

6. Email Communications and Newsletters

If you subscribe to our newsletter or otherwise consent to receive marketing communications, we may send you occasional emails relating to studio news, services, recent projects, availability or other relevant updates.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in our communications or by contacting us directly.
Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Transactional or service-related communications, such as messages concerning an active project, proposal, invoice or contractual relationship, are not considered marketing communications and may continue where necessary.

7. Cookies and Analytics

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to ensure that the website functions correctly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the website and improve its performance and user experience.

Some cookies may be strictly necessary for the operation of the website, while others may be used for analytics, functionality or marketing purposes.

Where required by law, non-essential cookies will only be activated after obtaining your consent.

You may manage or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings available on the website or through your browser settings.

For additional information about the cookies used on this website, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

8. Third-Party Services

An Studio may use trusted third-party service providers to operate the website and manage certain aspects of our business.

These providers may include website hosting platforms, email services, analytics tools, newsletter platforms, cloud storage providers, project management systems, payment processors or other professional software used in connection with our services.

These third parties may process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide their services and are expected to handle personal information in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

Where a third-party provider acts as an independent data controller, its own privacy policy will apply to its processing activities.

This website uses Cloudflare Turnstile to help protect our forms against spam and abuse. Turnstile operates in the background to verify that a visitor is human, and may process certain technical data (such as IP address and device information) for this purpose, as described in Cloudflare's Turnstile Privacy Notice.

9. International Data Transfers

Some service providers used by An Studio may process or store personal information outside the European Economic Area.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take appropriate measures to ensure that the transfer is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law.

Such measures may include the use of adequacy decisions approved by the European Commission, Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally recognized safeguards.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, maintain our professional and contractual relationships, comply with legal obligations and resolve potential disputes.

The specific retention period will depend on the nature of the information and the reason it was collected.

Information relating to contractual relationships, invoices or accounting records may be retained for the periods required under applicable tax, accounting and commercial legislation.

Marketing information will generally be retained until you withdraw your consent or request to stop receiving communications.

11. Your Data Protection Rights

Under applicable data protection legislation, including the GDPR where relevant, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you.

You may also have the right to request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete information, request deletion of your personal data, request restriction of processing, object to certain forms of processing and request the portability of your personal information.

Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at an@byanstudio.com. We may request reasonable information to verify your identity before processing your request.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. If you are located in Spain, the relevant supervisory authority is the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos — AEPD).

12. Security of Personal Information

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss or misuse.

However, no electronic transmission or digital storage system can guarantee absolute security. While we take appropriate precautions to protect the information entrusted to us, users should also take reasonable steps to protect their own personal information when communicating online.

13. Links to Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, social networks or other external services.

An Studio is not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of third-party websites. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any external website they visit.

The inclusion of a third-party link on our website does not necessarily imply endorsement of that third party or its privacy practices.

14. Social Media

An Studio may maintain profiles on third-party social media platforms.

When you interact with An Studio through platforms such as Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn or other social networks, the platform itself may collect and process personal information according to its own privacy policy and terms of service.

An Studio does not control the data processing practices of these third-party platforms.

15. Children's Privacy

This website and the services offered by An Studio are directed toward businesses, professionals and adult users.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that personal information relating to a minor has been submitted without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it where required.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our services, website functionality, legal requirements or data processing practices.

Any updated version will be published on this page and the date at the top of the Privacy Policy will be revised accordingly.
