Introduction
FABZDESIGN ("FABZDESIGN", "the studio", "we", "us", or "our") is an architecture and interior design practice. This policy explains how we handle personal data collected through our website and in the ordinary course of our work — including data relating to prospective and current clients, collaborators, suppliers, website visitors, and other stakeholders.
We are committed to processing personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently, and to protecting it with appropriate care. Where applicable, we act in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and the data-protection laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate.
[To confirm before launch: registered legal entity name, registered address, and the jurisdiction(s) whose law governs this policy.]
Who is responsible for your data
The data controller responsible for the personal data described in this policy is FABZDESIGN. If you have any question about this policy or about how your data is handled, you can reach us at [contact email — to confirm].
Information we collect
We only collect the data we need for the purposes set out below. Depending on how you interact with us, this may include:
Information you provide
- Details you submit through our enquiry form — your name, email address, organisation, project location, and the contents of your message.
- Information you share with us by email or in the course of a project enquiry or engagement.
Information collected automatically
- Basic technical and usage data such as your browser type, device, approximate location, referring pages, and how you navigate the site.
- Data collected through cookies and similar technologies, as described in the Cookies section below.
How we use your information
We use personal data to:
- Respond to enquiries and discuss potential or active projects with you.
- Provide our design services and manage our relationship with clients and collaborators.
- Operate, maintain, and improve our website and understand how it is used.
- Comply with our legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations.
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
Legal bases for processing
Where the GDPR applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases when processing your personal data:
- Consent — where you have given clear permission, for example when you choose to contact us or accept non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Performance of a contract — where processing is necessary to enter into or carry out an agreement with you.
- Legitimate interests — where processing is necessary for the reasonable operation of our studio, provided your rights and freedoms do not override those interests.
- Legal obligation — where we are required to process data to comply with the law.
Cookies and analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to function correctly and to help us understand how visitors use the site. Essential cookies are necessary for the site to operate; analytics and other non-essential cookies are only used where permitted. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the site may not work as intended if you do.
[To confirm before launch: which analytics or third-party tools are actually in use — e.g. Google Analytics, Meta Pixel — and whether a cookie-consent banner is required.]
Sharing your information
We treat your data as confidential and share it only where necessary. This may include trusted service providers who help us operate our website, host data, or manage communications, and who are bound to process data only on our instructions. We may also disclose data where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
International transfers
As a studio that works across borders, your data may be processed in countries other than the one in which you are located. Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area or other regions with comparable protections, we take appropriate steps to ensure it remains protected to an equivalent standard, such as relying on recognised adequacy decisions or standard contractual safeguards.
Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Be informed about how your data is used.
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request that inaccurate data be corrected.
- Request that your data be erased.
- Restrict or object to certain processing.
- Request the portability of your data.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on it.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
Security
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. While no method of transmission or storage is entirely secure, we work to safeguard your information using reasonable, industry-aligned practices.
Children's privacy
Our website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in the law. The current version will always be available on this page, with the date of the most recent revision shown above.
