This policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit v3na.studio or get in touch with us, why we collect it, and what rights you have. We keep it short: we collect as little as we can.
Who we are
The website is run by v3na studio, registered in Bulgaria under EIK [EIK] (“v3na studio”, “we”, “us”). We are the controller of your personal data.
For anything about your data, write to hi@v3na.studio or call +359 89 509 9058.
What we collect and why
When you contact us
The website has no forms. If you email or call us, we receive whatever you choose to share: usually your name, email address or phone number, your company, and the content of your message.
- Why: to answer you, prepare a proposal and, if we work together, deliver the project.
- Legal basis: taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, or performing one (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR); for general enquiries, our legitimate interest in replying to messages we receive (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
- How long: up to 2 years after our last contact. If we work together, contracts and invoices are kept for as long as Bulgarian accounting and tax law requires.
When you visit the website
Our hosting provider, Vercel, automatically records technical information for every request: your IP address, browser and device type, the page requested, the referring page and the time. This is needed to deliver the site, keep it secure and fix errors.
- Legal basis: our legitimate interest in running a secure, working website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
- How long: these logs are kept only briefly, under Vercel’s own retention periods.
Analytics (only with your consent)
If you agree to analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Limited, to understand how visitors use the site: which pages are viewed, for how long, roughly where visitors are from, and what device they use. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. We use this only to improve the site, never to identify you or to advertise to you.
- Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time in the privacy settings.
- How long: the analytics data is kept for 14 months; the cookies themselves last up to 2 years.
Until you accept, Google’s analytics script is not loaded at all, so nothing is sent to Google and no analytics cookies are set. If you later decline, analytics stop and we delete the _ga cookies from your browser.
Cookies and browser storage
The first time you visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Accepting and declining are equally easy, and you can change your mind at any time with privacy settings, also linked at the bottom of every page.
_gaand_ga_<ID>(Google Analytics, only with your consent): tell visits apart and remember a session. Up to 2 years.- Your cookie choice in local storage (always): remembers whether you accepted or declined, so we don’t ask on every page. It holds no personal data, is not a cookie, and stays until you clear your browser’s site data.
- A “lite mode” flag in session storage (always): if your device struggles with the glass effect on the menu, the site remembers to switch it off for the rest of your visit. It holds no personal data, is not a cookie, and is deleted when you close the tab.
We use no advertising or social media tracking cookies.
Who we share data with
We do not sell your data. We share it only with:
- Vercel Inc., which hosts the website.
- Google, for analytics, and only if you consent.
- Our email, IT and accounting providers, who process data on our behalf and under our instructions.
- Authorities, when the law requires it.
Some of these providers may process data outside the European Economic Area, for example in the United States. When they do, the transfer is protected by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or by the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
Links to other websites
The website links to our profiles on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook. When you follow those links, those sites’ own privacy policies apply.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you and get a copy of it;
- have inaccurate data corrected;
- have your data deleted;
- restrict how we use it, or object to our use of it based on legitimate interests;
- receive your data in a portable format;
- withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting what was done before.
To use any of these rights, write to hi@v3na.studio. We will reply within one month.
You can also complain to the Bulgarian supervisory authority, the Commission for Personal Data Protection (2 Prof. Tsvetan Lazarov Blvd., Sofia 1592, cpdp.bg), or to the authority in the EU country where you live.
Children
The website is not aimed at children under 14, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Security
The website is served only over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), and access to the data we hold is limited to the people who need it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the website or the law changes. The date at the top shows the latest version.
