  1. Cookies and similar technologies (where used)

Depending on your choices and our configuration, the Website may use cookies or similar technologies for:

  • analytics (only if enabled and, where required, after your consent)

We do not intend to collect special categories of personal data (e.g., health data) and ask you not to send such data to us.

2) How do we collect your data?

You directly provide us with most of the data we collect. We collect data and process data when you:

  • Contact us via email at office@animone.studio
  • Browse or interact with the Website (technical data and logs may be generated automatically)
  • Interact with embedded third-party content (e.g., embedded video or social/portfolio embeds), where those third parties may collect data directly via their technologies

We may also receive limited data indirectly from:

  • Our service providers involved in hosting, delivering, and securing the Website (e.g., hosting/CDN/security logs), in line with their role as processors and our configuration

3) How will we use your data?

We use your personal data only for legitimate, defined purposes, including:

  1. Responding to inquiries and business communication
  • To respond to your messages and provide information about our services
  • To manage pre-contract communications and follow-ups related to your request
  1. Operating, securing, and improving the Website
  • To ensure the Website functions correctly
  • To maintain security, prevent abuse, troubleshoot issues, and defend against attacks
  1. Analytics
  • To understand how visitors use the Website, improve content, and measure performance (only if analytics are enabled and, where required, after your consent)
  1. Embedded third-party content
  • To display embedded content (e.g., video embeds). These providers may collect data such as your IP address and may set cookies or similar technologies, depending on their settings and your consent choices.

Legal bases (GDPR)

We process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the context:

  • Contract / steps before entering a contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)):

– when you contact us to request information or a proposal and we need to process your data to respond and take steps at your request

  • Legitimate interests (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)):

– operating, securing, and maintaining the Website; handling routine business communications; preventing fraud/abuse

– Our legitimate interests are balanced against your rights and freedoms, and you can object as described below.

  • Consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)):

– for non-essential cookies/technologies such as analytics and certain third-party embeds, where required by applicable law and our configuration

  • Legal obligation (GDPR Art. 6(1)(c)):

– where we must retain or disclose certain data to comply with applicable laws (rare for a “contact-only” website, but possible in specific circumstances)

You can withdraw consent at any time (see “How to manage your cookies” and “What are your data protection rights?” below).

Sharing your data (recipients / processors)

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share personal data with trusted service providers that help us operate the Website and communicate with you. These providers process data on our instructions and only as necessary to provide their services, for example:

  • Hosting provider: Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany) (Website hosting / infrastructure)
  • Email provider: Google Workspace (Google) (business email communications)
  • DNS / security / delivery: Cloudflare, Inc. (DNS and, if enabled, security/CDN services)
  • Embedded content providers (where embedded): Vimeo; Meta (Instagram/Facebook); Adobe/Behance; Google (Maps); Linkedin
  • Analytics provider: Google Analytics (Google)

Note: Some embedded third-party services may act as independent controllers for data they collect directly via their technologies. Please review their privacy policies.

International transfers

Some providers (or their sub-processors) may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., adequacy decisions where applicable, and/or Standard Contractual Clauses) and other measures required by law.

If you want more detail about specific transfers and safeguards in our current setup, contact us at office@animone.studio.

4) How do we store your data?

Security

We store and process data using reasonable technical and organizational measures, such as:

  • access controls and least-privilege access to systems
  • encrypted connections (HTTPS) for website traffic (where supported by the visitor’s browser)
  • security monitoring and logging (as configured)
  • limiting access to email accounts and administrative tools

Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Current retention rules (to be confirmed/finalized by the Company):

  • Business inquiries by email: up to 24 months after the last relevant communication, then deleted or anonymized where feasible
  • Website server/security logs: up to 120 days (subject to security needs and provider configurations)
  • Analytics data (only if enabled): 14 months

If you request deletion earlier, we will assess the request under applicable legal requirements and exceptions.

5) Marketing

We do not run a newsletter and do not send marketing emails as a standard practice.

If we ever introduce marketing communications (e.g., a newsletter), we will:

  • ask for your consent where required
  • provide a simple opt-out method in each message
  • update this Privacy Policy accordingly

You can always object to marketing communications by contacting us at office@animone.studio.

  • The right to data portability – You can request transfer of your data to you or another controller, under certain conditions.
  • The right to withdraw consent – Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time (without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal).

If you make a request, we have one month to respond, subject to lawful extensions where applicable. Requests are generally free of charge; a reasonable fee may apply only where permitted by law (e.g., manifestly unfounded or excessive requests).

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at:

7) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to collect standard internet log information and information about visitor behavior. When you visit our Website, we may collect information from you automatically through cookies or similar technologies (depending on your choices and our configuration).

8) How do we use cookies?

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

9) What types of cookies do we use?

Depending on the Website configuration, we may use:

  • Strictly necessary cookies

– These are required for basic operation and security. They are usually set in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services (e.g., security protections). These cookies cannot usually be switched off via the cookie banner (where used), but you can block them in your browser (which may break the Website).

  • Functionality / preference cookies (if used)

– These help the Website remember choices (e.g., language or other preferences). They may be first-party or third-party cookies.

  • Analytics / performance cookies (only if enabled)

– These help us understand how visitors interact with the Website so we can improve it. Where required, we use these only after you have provided consent via our cookie banner/settings.

  • Third-party cookies for embedded content (where embedded)

– Embedded services (e.g., Vimeo, Instagram/Facebook, Behance, Google Maps) may set cookies or use similar technologies. Where required, we load these only after consent or provide alternative “click-to-load” options (depending on configuration).

Advertising cookies

We do not intentionally set our own advertising/remarketing cookies. However, third-party embedded services may use their technologies for their own purposes according to their policies and your settings/consent choices.

10) How to manage cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways:

  1. Cookie banner / consent settings (if enabled)
  • You can accept or reject non-essential cookies and change your preferences at any time via:

– Cookie settings link / banner: ______________________________

  1. Browser settings
  • You can set your browser not to accept cookies and remove cookies from your browser.
