Privacy Policy
This policy explains what personal data we process when you visit this website, why, and the rights you have. We keep data collection to a minimum — this is a simple website with no advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies.
1. Who is responsible (Controller)
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Two independent sole proprietors, trading as AN Creative Studio:Angelina Useinov
Paulsternstr. 67, 13599 Berlin, Germany
Anna Vechirka
Sperlingsgasse 1, 10178 Berlin, Germany
Email: hello@ancreativestudio.com
“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable person (e.g. name, email address, IP address).
2. Your rights at a glance
Under the GDPR you have the right to: information about your stored data (Art. 15), correction (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and to object to processing (Art. 21). You may withdraw any consent you have given at any time, with effect for the future. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in section 1.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (see section 9).
3. Hosting
This website is hosted by Netlify (Netlify, Inc., 512 2nd Street, Suite 200, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). When you visit the site, Netlify automatically collects and stores technical information that your browser transmits (“server log files”), including:
- your IP address (shortened/processed for security),
- the date and time of the request,
- the page or file requested,
- your browser type and operating system,
- the referring website.
This data is processed to deliver the website reliably and securely and to prevent misuse. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a secure, functioning website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
As Netlify is a US provider, your data may be transferred to the USA. This transfer is safeguarded by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) contained in Netlify's Data Processing Agreement. See Netlify's privacy notice at netlify.com/privacy.
4. SSL / TLS encryption
For security, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the “https://” address and the lock symbol in your browser. When encryption is active, the data you submit cannot be read by third parties.
5. Contact form
When you send us an enquiry through the contact form, the details you provide — your name, email address, an optional Instagram handle or website, the selected service, and your message — are transmitted to us in order to process your request. This form is handled by Netlify Forms (part of the hosting described in section 3), which stores the submission so we can read and reply to it.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps taken at your request prior to entering a contract) and our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We keep your enquiry only as long as needed to handle it and any resulting business relationship, after which it is deleted (unless statutory retention periods apply).
6. Contacting us by email or phone
If you contact us directly by email or phone, your details and message are stored so we can handle your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR.
7. Cookies and tracking
This website does not use cookies and does not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking technologies. No profile of you is created, and nothing is stored on your device beyond what is strictly necessary to display the page.
8. Fonts
The fonts used on this site are hosted locally on our own server. No connection is made to Google Fonts or any other third party to load them, so no data about you is sent elsewhere when fonts load.
9. Right to lodge a complaint
If you believe our processing of your data infringes the GDPR, you may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is:
Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und InformationsfreiheitAlt-Moabit 59–61, 10555 Berlin, Germany
datenschutz-berlin.de
10. Right to object
Where we process your data on the basis of legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), you have the right to object to that processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR). We will then stop processing your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes to the website or to legal requirements. The current version always applies.
