Privacy Policy

TL;DR: For wiak.studio visitors, we do not use cookies and we do not collect any personal data. If you decide to create an account, we ask for the bare minimum and only share it with services that are absolutely necessary for the app to function.

At wiak.studio, we are committed to complying with GDPR, CCPA, PECR and other privacy regulations on our website and on our web analytics product too. The privacy of your data — and it is your data, not ours! — is a big deal to us.

In this policy, we lay out what data we collect and why, how your data is handled and your rights to your data. We promise we never sell your data: never have, never will.

We are using a self hosted Plausible Analytics script on our website, take a look at plausible data policy for details on the information we do collect about our website visitors on our behalf.

 

As a visitor to the wiak.studio website

The privacy of our website visitors is important to us so we do not track any individual people. As a visitor to the wiak.studio website:

  • No personal information is collected
  • No information such as cookies is stored in the browser
  • No information is shared with, sent to or sold to third-parties
  • No information is shared with advertising companies
  • No information is mined and harvested for personal and behavioral trends
  • No information is monetized

We run the Plausible Analytics script to collect some anonymous usage data for statistical purposes. The goal is to track overall trends in our website traffic, it is not to track individual visitors. All the data is in aggregate only. No personal data is collected. You can view the data we collect in our live demo.

Data collected includes referral sources, top pages, visit duration, information from the devices (device type, operating system, country and browser) used during the visit and more.

As a user of Plausible Analytics

Our guiding principle is to collect only what we need and that we will solely process this information to provide you with the service you signed up for.

We use a select number of trusted external service providers for certain service offerings. These service providers are carefully selected and meet high data protection, data privacy and security standards.

We only share information with them that is required for the services offered and we contractually bind them to keep any information we share with them as confidential and to process personal data only according to our instructions.

Here’s what that means in practice:

What we collect, what we use it for and services we use

All of the data that we collect is kept fully secured, encrypted and hosted on 100% renewable energy powered server in Nottinghamshire, UK. The server is owned by 20i, a UK company. This ensures that all of the site data is being covered by the European Union’s strict laws on data privacy. Your site data never leaves the EU. See 20i privacy policy for full details.

We use Bunny (another European-owned provider from Slovenia) for a global CDN, DNS and DDoS protection. This ensures that all visitor data we collect is exclusively processed with servers owned and operated by European companies. See Bunny privacy and data policy for full details.

We use Gravatar to get your account profile picture. We use a proxy for this request to ensure no information is exposed to third parties. This method prevents the IP address, user agent and referrer header from being sent. See the Gravatar Privacy Policy for more details.

When you write to us with a question or to ask for enquiry. We keep that correspondence, which includes the email address, so that we have a history of past correspondences to reference if you reach out in the future. We use this data solely in connection with answering the queries we receive.

For our blog readers who choose the option to receive blog posts via email. We use Mailchimp to send those blog posts. We have disabled both open tracking and link tracking on all emails sent. See the Mailchimp Privacy Policy for full details.

Retention of data

We will retain your information as long as your account is active, as necessary to provide you with the services or as otherwise set forth in this policy.

We will also retain and use this information as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy and to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements and protect Wiak Studio’s legal rights.

Changes and questions

We may update this policy as needed to comply with relevant regulations and reflect any new practices. Whenever we make a significant change to our policies, we will also announce them on our company blog or social media profiles.

Contact us at info@wiak-studio.local if you have any questions, comments, or concerns about this privacy policy, your data, or your rights with respect to your information.
