1. Introduction

At Dunko Studio, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you about how we look after your personal data when you visit our website, use our web design and development services, and tell you about your privacy rights.

As a web design and development service provider, Dunko Studio operates in two distinct capacities:

As a data controller for information collected through our own website and during our client relationships
As a data processor when we design, develop, and maintain websites for our clients

This privacy policy primarily addresses our practices as a data controller. For information about how client websites handle personal data, please refer to the specific privacy policy of that website.

3. How We Use Your Information

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

To provide and improve our web design and development services
To process payments and maintain records of transactions

Legitimate interests: Processing necessary for our legitimate interests, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests

4. Client Website Data

As part of our web design and development services, we may have access to data that is collected through client websites, including:

Content provided by clients for their websites
Data collected through forms on client websites
Analytics data related to client website performance and usage
User data that may be stored in client website databases

In relation to this data, Dunko Studio acts as a data processor, and the client acts as the data controller. This means:

We process this data only on the client's instructions
The client is responsible for ensuring they have the legal basis to collect and process this data
The client is responsible for providing appropriate privacy notices to their users
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect this data

We provide clients with content management tools that allow them to edit certain aspects of their website. Clients are solely responsible for any data they add, modify, or delete using these tools, and for ensuring that their use of these tools complies with applicable data protection laws.

5. Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way. We limit access to your personal data to those employees and third parties who have a business need to know.

For client websites, we implement industry-standard security measures, including:

Secure hosting environments
Encrypted connections (SSL/TLS)
Secure authentication systems for content management access

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

For client data, our typical retention periods are:

Client account information: For the duration of our business relationship plus 7 years for tax and legal purposes
Website content and design files: For the duration of our service agreement plus 6 months after termination
Website backups: Typically retained for 30 days, unless otherwise specified in our service agreement
Analytics data: Typically retained for 26 months

Upon termination of services, we may delete all client website data from our systems after the retention period, unless otherwise required by law or agreed upon with the client.

Object to processing of your personal data

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in the "Contact Information" section. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests.
