Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Virequex Studio ("Virequex," "we," "us," or "our") handles the information we collect when you visit this website, request a consultation, or engage our website design and user-interface consulting services. We keep our data practices deliberately narrow, because our work is advisory and design-led and does not require us to operate your systems or hold large amounts of personal data.

1. The information we collect

We collect information you give us directly. When you submit a consultation request or a message, we receive the name, email address, and any details you choose to include about your project. When we work together on an engagement, we may receive additional business materials you send us, such as existing website copy, images, brand assets, and notes about your goals. We ask you to share only what is needed for the work.

We also collect a limited amount of technical information automatically when you browse, such as your general device and browser type and how you move through the pages. This is standard website analytics used to keep the site working well and to understand which pages are useful. We keep this modest and use it only to maintain and improve the site.

2. How we use information

We use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry, to prepare and discuss a scope and quote, to carry out an agreed engagement, to send you the deliverables and correspondence connected to that engagement, and to keep the records we are required to keep for accounting and legal purposes. We use technical and analytics information to maintain and improve the website. We do not use your information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you.

3. What we do not do with your data

We do not sell your personal information. We do not rent or trade it. Because we do not provide hosting, server administration, payment processing, or management of client information systems, we do not take custody of your customers' data or operate the databases behind your business. Any personal data belonging to your own site visitors remains under your control and your responsibility.

4. When we share information

We share information only where it is necessary and appropriate: with trusted service providers who help us run the studio, such as email, document, and analytics tools, and only to the extent they need it to perform their function; where required by law, regulation, or valid legal process; and to protect the rights, safety, and property of the studio, our clients, or others. Where we use a provider, we choose ones that offer reasonable protections and we limit what they can do with the data.

5. How long we keep information

We keep enquiry and engagement information for as long as needed to provide the service and to meet our legal, tax, and accounting obligations, after which we delete or anonymize it. If you ask us to delete information we hold about you, we will do so unless we are required to keep it, and we will tell you if that is the case.

6. How we protect information

We apply reasonable organizational and technical measures to protect the information in our care, including limiting access to those who need it and using reputable tools with their own security practices. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so while we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please send us only what is necessary, and avoid sending highly sensitive personal data by email.

7. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access the personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct or delete it, to object to or restrict certain uses, and to receive a copy in a portable format. You can exercise these rights by contacting us using the details below. We will respond within the time required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. You will not be treated differently for exercising these rights.

8. Analytics and cookies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality and for basic analytics. You control these through your browser settings and, where offered, through any cookie preferences on the site. You can review, delete, or block cookies through your browser at any time; blocking essential ones may affect how parts of the site work.

9. Third-party links

Our website may reference or link to services and tools operated by others. This Privacy Policy applies only to this website and to our own services. When you visit a third-party site, its own privacy practices apply, and we encourage you to read them.

10. Children's privacy

Our website and services are intended for businesses and professionals and are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or in the law. The date at the top of the page shows when the current version took effect. When changes are significant, we will make the update clear on this page. Continued use of the website after an update means you accept the revised policy.
