Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 16, 2019
At Studio Collectus, we believe that trust is built not only through design, but through the way we handle your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your data, in accordance with the UAE’s Federal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and the guidelines of the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA).

By using our website or engaging with our studio, you agree to the terms outlined here.

Privacy

Your privacy is very important to us. Our Privacy Policy explains how we treat your personal information and protect your privacy when you are using the Site.

Information We Collect

We collect personal information thoughtfully and only when it’s relevant to our work with you. This may include:

Information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, and project details—collected through contact forms, consultations, or direct communication.
Technical information, like your IP address, browser type, or device information, collected automatically via cookies or analytics tools to help us better understand how our website is used.

We do not collect more than we need, and we do not collect sensitive personal data unless it’s essential to providing our services and you have explicitly agreed to it.

Why We Collect It

We collect your information to:

Respond to inquiries and provide tailored design services
Communicate with you about ongoing or future projects
Improve our website experience through analytics
Comply with legal obligations under UAE law

We do not sell or rent your data to third parties. Your information is used only for the purposes you’ve agreed to.

Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website uses cookies to create a smoother, more personalized browsing experience. These small files help us analyze web traffic and understand user preferences.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies through your browser settings. Our use of analytics (e.g. Google Analytics) is aligned with UAE data protection standards and does not identify users personally.

Data Sharing and Third-Parties

In certain cases, we may work with trusted third-party providers (such as web hosts or email platforms) to support our operations. When we do, these providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and only use it in service of Studio Collectus.

We do not transfer personal data outside the UAE unless adequate safeguards are in place, as required by the PDPL.

Your Rights

Under UAE law, you have rights regarding your personal data. You may:

Request access to the personal data we hold about you
Ask for corrections or updates
Withdraw consent to specific uses (e.g. marketing emails)
Request deletion of your data, where legally permitted

To make a request, contact us at [insert email address]. We’ll respond within the timeframe set by the UAE PDPL.

Data Retention and Security

We retain your data only for as long as necessary for the purposes outlined above. When your information is no longer needed, it is securely deleted.

We take data protection seriously, using appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent loss, misuse, or unauthorized access.

Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to other sites. These sites operate independently and have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them before sharing any information.

Updates to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law or our practice. The most current version will always be available on our website.
