Our Privacy Policy: A Studio’s Promise on Data & Trust
We design with intention, which extends to how we handle information. This policy isn’t legal fine print—it’s a clear framework for respecting your data while building exceptional digital work.
What We Collect: The Tools of a Digital Studio
Crelino operates at the intersection of brand and technology. To provide a functioning, secure, and responsive studio experience, we process specific categories of data. This isn't a blanket data grab; it's a targeted selection of information that enables our work and our collaboration with you.
Contact & Identity Data
Your name, email address, phone number, and company details. We collect this only when you initiate contact through our forms, emails, or calls. It’s essential for providing project quotes, scheduling consultations, and sending deliverables.
Project & Communication Data
Notes from discovery calls, project briefs, feedback documents, and file uploads. This data forms the creative and technical foundation of your project. We store it securely to ensure continuity and access during the engagement.
Technical & Analytics Data
Anonymous data about how visitors use our site: pages visited, session duration, and device type. This is aggregated and never linked to an individual identity. It helps us understand our reach and improve the studio’s digital presence.
Studio Lexicon: Key Terms
- Data Controller
- Crelino, as we determine the purpose and means of processing your personal data.
- Legitimate Interest
- A legal basis for processing that balances our studio needs (e.g., security) with your privacy rights.
- Processor
- Third-party services (e.g., hosting, email) that handle data on our behalf under strict contracts.
- Anonymized Data
- Information stripped of identifiers, used for analytics without connecting to a specific person.
Method Note: Our evaluation of data handling is anchored in the principle of necessity. We only request what is directly required for project delivery or operational integrity. The risk of data collection is weighed against the benefit of providing a professional service; unnecessary data points are a liability we actively avoid.
How We Use Your Information: The Creative Workflow
Data isn’t stored in a vacuum; it’s the fuel for a specific, valuable output. Every piece of information we collect is tied to a concrete action within our studio workflow. Here’s how it moves from intake to impact.
To Communicate & Deliver
Your contact details are used strictly for project-related communication. This includes sending proposals, sharing drafts, collecting feedback, and delivering final assets. We do not use this channel for unsolicited marketing.
To Build & Secure
Project data informs our design and development decisions. Technical data helps us secure our website against threats, ensuring the integrity of our digital studio and client data we host.
To Improve, With Consent
We may use anonymized analytics to understand which content resonates, but this never identifies you. You can manage cookie preferences via our banner (handled globally by our platform).
Data Sharing & Third-Parties
We do not sell your data. We only share it when essential for project delivery or legal compliance.
