Privacy Policy

How Felicé Design Studios processes and protects personal data when you use this website or contact the studio.

Version2026

Controller: Felicé Design Studios, Claudio Coxe João, Dortmund. The German version is legally authoritative.

(01)

General information

We appreciate your interest in Felicé Design Studios. The protection of personal data is important to us. Our website can generally be used without providing personal data.

If a visitor uses specific services, personal data may need to be processed. Where no statutory basis applies, we obtain the consent of the data subject.

Processing takes place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the applicable German data protection provisions. Technical and organisational measures are used to protect data, although internet-based transmission can never be completely secure.

(02)

Definitions

This privacy policy uses the terminology of the GDPR. Personal data means information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Processing includes collecting, recording, organising, storing, adapting, retrieving, using, disclosing, restricting, erasing, or destroying personal data.

The data subject is the person whose data is processed. The controller determines the purposes and means of processing. A processor handles personal data on behalf of the controller.

Consent is a freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication that the data subject agrees to the processing of personal data.

Cookies and consent

The website may use cookies and comparable technologies. Cookies are small text files stored by the browser and can support essential, functional, analytics, or marketing purposes.

Essential technologies support secure delivery, forms, consent storage, and stable presentation. Optional categories are activated only where a valid consent or another legal basis exists.

You can change your selection through the cookie settings and delete or block cookies in your browser. Disabling essential functions may affect parts of the website.

(05)

Server log data

When the website is accessed, the hosting infrastructure may process browser type and version, operating system, referrer, requested pages, date and time, IP address, internet service provider, and comparable security information.

This data is used to deliver the website correctly, maintain technical security and availability, improve the service, and investigate attacks. Log data is kept separate from information submitted directly through forms.

(06)

Contact and enquiries

If you contact us by email, telephone, or through a form, the information you provide is processed to respond to your enquiry, prepare possible contractual steps, and maintain business communication.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for pre-contractual or contractual communication, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for legitimate business communication, or consent where required.

Data is not shared with third parties unless this is necessary for the requested service, required by law, or covered by a suitable processing agreement.

(07)

Retention and deletion

Personal data is stored only for as long as required for the relevant purpose or for statutory retention periods.

When the purpose no longer applies and no statutory duty requires continued storage, data is routinely restricted or deleted.

(08)

Rights of data subjects

You have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is processed and to receive information and a copy of that data.

You may request rectification of inaccurate data, completion of incomplete data, erasure, restriction of processing, and data portability where the statutory requirements are met.

You may object to processing based on legitimate interests and withdraw consent at any time with future effect. The lawfulness of processing before withdrawal remains unaffected.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.

(09)

Right to object to direct marketing

If personal data is processed for direct marketing, you may object at any time. After an objection, the data will no longer be used for that purpose.

(10)

Legal basis for processing

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR applies where consent is requested. Article 6(1)(b) GDPR applies to contractual and pre-contractual processing.

Article 6(1)(c) GDPR applies where processing is required by law. Article 6(1)(d) GDPR applies to vital interests. Article 6(1)(f) GDPR applies where legitimate interests are pursued and the interests or fundamental rights of the data subject do not override them.

(11)

Legitimate interests

Where processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interests include operating the studio, communicating with prospective and existing clients, protecting systems, and improving the website.

(12)

Storage period

The applicable statutory retention period is the primary criterion for storage. After it expires, data is deleted unless it is still required for contractual performance, the establishment or defence of legal claims, or another lawful purpose.

(13)

Requirement to provide data

Providing personal data may be required by law, by contract, or to enter into a contract. Without required information, a requested service or contract may not be possible.

Before providing data, you may contact us to clarify whether the information is mandatory and what consequences may result if it is not provided.

(14)

Automated decision-making

Felicé Design Studios does not use automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects visitors through this website.
