5. Purposes and Legal Bases

We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis under Article 6 GDPR. Depending on the context, this includes:

6. Client Project Data (Controller/Processor Roles)

When you engage us to provide design, creative, or development services, we may process personal data included in materials you provide. Depending on the project, we may act as:

• Authorities where we are legally required to do so or to protect our rights.

8. International Transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where an international transfer occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards, such as an adequacy decision by the European Commission or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) with supplementary measures where necessary.

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above and in accordance with legal retention requirements.

• Client/project records: typically up to 6 years (or longer where required to defend legal claims).
