Last updated: January 2026

This explains how we handle information you share with us. We've written it in plain language because that's how we work.

What Information We Collect

When you contact us about a project or sign up for updates, we collect:

• Your name

• Email address

• Phone number

• Project details you share with us

• Any other information you choose to provide

We also use basic website analytics to understand how people use our site (pages visited, time spent, general location).

How We Use This Information

We use your information to:

• Respond to your inquiries

• Send project updates if we're working together

• Send occasional emails about our work (only if you've asked for them)

• Understand how people use our website so we can improve it

• Keep records of our conversations and projects

That's it. We don't sell your information, rent it out, or use it for anything beyond what's needed to work with you.

Who Has Access

Your information stays with us. We don't share it with third parties except:

• When legally required (court orders, regulatory requirements)

• When you explicitly ask us to (sharing with your consultants, for example)

We use standard tools to run our practice (email services, cloud storage, analytics). These providers have access to data as part of providing their services, but they're not allowed to use it for anything else.

How Long We Keep It

We keep your information for as long as:

• We're working together on a project

• We need it for legal or accounting requirements

• You've asked us to keep you updated about our work

If you want us to delete your information, just ask. We'll do it unless we're legally required to keep it.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• See what information we have about you

• Ask us to correct information that's wrong

• Ask us to delete your information

• Object to how we're using your information

• Ask us to stop sending you emails (there's an unsubscribe link in every email we send)

To exercise any of these rights, email us at design@kartoflstudio.com. We'll respond within 30 days.

International Clients

If you're based in the European Union or UK, you have additional rights under GDPR. The above rights apply, plus:

• Right to data portability (we'll give you your data in a usable format)

• Right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

  We process your data on the legal basis of:

• Contract performance (when we're working on a project together)

• Legitimate interest (responding to inquiries, improving our services)

• Consent (for marketing emails)

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information:

• Secure passwords and authentication

• Encrypted data transmission

• Regular backups

• Limited access (only people who need it)

No system is completely secure, but we do our best to protect what you share with us.

Cookies

Our website uses a few cookies to function properly:

• Essential cookies that keep the site working

• Analytics cookies that help us understand site usage

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the site might not work properly.

Children's Privacy

Our services aren't directed at children under 18. We don't knowingly collect information from children. If you're a parent and believe we have information about your child, contact us and we'll delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We'll update this policy if our practices change. We'll note the date at the top. For significant changes, we'll let you know by email if we have your contact information.
