Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Bardo collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use our website or get in touch with us.

Data controller

The data controller responsible for your personal data is Bardo (the studio). For any matter related to this policy, you can contact us at hi@bardo.digital.

Data we collect

We may collect the following data:

• Data you provide. When you use our contact form or email us, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.
• Technical data. When you visit our website, we may automatically collect your IP address, browser type, device type, and similar technical information that is commonly used for the operation and security of websites.

We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as health, political, or religious data) unless you voluntarily provide it and we have a lawful basis to process it.

Purpose and legal basis

We use your data to:

• Respond to your enquiries and manage our relationship with you.
• Improve our website and services.
• Comply with legal or regulatory obligations.

The legal bases we rely on are your consent (when you send us a message) and our legitimate interest in operating and improving our website and communicating with potential clients.

Sharing your data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it only with service providers that help us run our business (for example, hosting or email delivery), under contracts that require them to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify.

Retention

We keep your data only for as long as necessary:

• Contact and enquiry data: for the time needed to handle your request and, where relevant, for the duration of our relationship or as required by law.
• Technical data: for the periods typically required for security, logs, and legal compliance.

After that, we delete or anonymise the data.

Your rights

Depending on applicable law (including GDPR if you are in the European Economic Area), you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data.
• Request restriction of processing.
• Request data portability.
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (for example, your local data protection authority).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hi@bardo.digital. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

International transfers

Our website and services may be hosted or processed in countries outside your country of residence. When we transfer data internationally, we take steps to ensure it is protected in line with applicable law (for example, through standard contractual clauses or other recognised mechanisms).

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will indicate the date of the last update below. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
