Introduction
Welcome to Atis Designs, LLC. Throughout this policy, the terms "we," "our," "us," and "the Studio" refer to Atis Designs, LLC. We are a professional design studio specializing in B2B (business-to-business) services, including brand identity development, digital user experience (UI/UX) design, print and editorial production, and strategic design consulting. Because we help build digital and physical experiences for our clients, we understand deeply how important trust, transparency, and security are in the modern business landscape.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website or engage our services. We have written this document to be as clear and straightforward as possible, avoiding dense legal jargon where we can. Our goal is to ensure you fully understand your rights and our practices under global privacy standards, including the GDPR (EU and UK), PIPEDA (Canada), and comprehensive US State Privacy Laws like the CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA, CPA, and CTDPA.
What We Collect & Why
To provide you with exceptional design and consulting services, we need to understand who we are working with and how people interact with our digital presence. We organize the data we collect into three main categories.
Information You Give Us Directly
When you reach out for a consultation, sign a contract, or subscribe to our communications, you voluntarily provide us with personal details. This typically includes your name, professional email address, and any project details you share.
Why we need it: We need this information to communicate with you, understand your business needs, and fulfill our service agreements.
Legal basis: We process this data primarily to fulfill a contract with you, or based on your consent when you opt into our marketing lists.
Information Collected Automatically
As you navigate our website, we automatically collect certain technical information about your visit. This includes your device type, browser information, IP address, and usage analytics (such as which portfolio pages you viewed and how long you stayed).
Why we need it: This data helps us ensure our website functions correctly across different devices and allows us to understand what content resonates most with our visitors.
Legal basis: We collect this information based on our legitimate interest in maintaining and improving our digital presence, and where required by law, based on your consent via our cookie banner.
Information from Third Parties
We occasionally receive information about you from trusted third-party platforms. For example, when you pay an invoice, we receive payment confirmation and transaction details from PayPal.
Why we need it: We use this to verify that payments have cleared so we can begin or continue our design work.
Legal basis: Processing this data is necessary for the performance of our contract with you.
How We Use Your Information
We believe in purpose limitation—meaning we only use your data for the reasons we told you about. Here is exactly how we put your information to work:
Core Service Delivery: We use your contact and project information to design your brand identity, develop UI/UX assets, and provide strategic consulting. (Legal basis: Contract)
Service Improvement and Personalization: We analyze usage data to understand how clients interact with our website, allowing us to refine our portfolio and user experience. (Legal basis: Legitimate Interest)
Communication: We use your email to send project updates, invoice reminders, and responses to your inquiries. (Legal basis: Contract). If you have opted in, we may also send you studio news or design insights. (Legal basis: Consent)
Security and Fraud Prevention: We monitor technical logs to detect and prevent malicious activity on our website. (Legal basis: Legitimate Interest)
Legal Compliance: We maintain certain financial and transaction records to comply with tax laws and international business regulations. (Legal basis: Legal Obligation)
When We Share Your Information
Atis Designs, LLC is a design studio, not a data broker. We never sell your personal data. However, we do share your information with a select group of trusted partners who help us run our business.
Essential Service Providers: We share necessary data with specific vendors to operate our studio. Currently, this includes PayPal (for secure payment processing) and Google Analytics (for website performance tracking). These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
Legal Requirements: If we are required to do so by law, court order, or government request, we will disclose your information to the relevant authorities. We will always attempt to notify you first unless legally prohibited from doing so.
Business Transitions: If Atis Designs, LLC is ever acquired by or merged with another company, your information would be transferred as part of that business transition.
With Your Consent: If we ever need to share your data for a reason not listed here, we will ask for your explicit permission first.
Your Privacy Rights
Because we operate globally, we have aligned our privacy practices with the strictest global standards, ensuring that all our users—whether in California, London, Berlin, or Toronto—enjoy comprehensive privacy rights.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you have the right to:
Access Your Data: You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We will provide this within 30 days.
Correct Inaccuracies: If your name, email, or other details change, you can ask us to update our records.
Delete Your Data: You can request that we erase your personal information ("the right to be forgotten"), subject to certain legal exceptions like tax record retention.
Port Your Data: You can ask us to provide your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format so you can transfer it to another service provider.
Opt-Out of Marketing and Targeted Ads: You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time using the link at the bottom of our emails. Under US State laws (like the CCPA/CPRA), you also have the right to opt out of the processing of your data for targeted advertising.
Withdraw Consent: Where we rely on your consent to process your data, you can withdraw it at any time. This will not affect the legality of any processing we did before you withdrew consent.
Lodge Complaints: If you are in the EU or UK, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority if you believe we have mishandled your data.
To exercise any of these rights, please email us at lilianna.rt@outlook.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
Data Security
We take the security of your personal information seriously. We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit, strict access controls limited to essential personnel, and regular security monitoring.
However, we want to be honest with you: no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We encourage you to use strong passwords for your email and payment accounts and to access our services from secure devices.
In the unlikely event of a data breach that compromises your personal information, we commit to notifying you and the relevant regulatory authorities within the timeframes required by law (typically within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach).
Data Retention
We do not keep your data forever. We only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy.
Active Account Data: We keep your contact and project information for the duration of our business relationship, plus a reasonable buffer of two years to accommodate follow-up projects or revisions.
Financial Records: By law, we are required to keep financial and transaction records (like PayPal invoices) for up to 7 years for tax and auditing purposes.
Marketing Preferences: If you subscribe to our communications, we keep your email address until you ask us to remove it (opt-out).
Technical Logs: Routine server and security logs are automatically deleted after 12 months.
When your data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.
Cookies & Tracking
Like most modern websites, we use cookies—small text files placed on your device—to make our site work efficiently and to provide us with business insights.
We use Google Analytics to understand our website traffic and user behavior. This tool collects standard, anonymous internet log information and visitor behavior patterns to help us improve our portfolio experience. We use this data purely for internal business insights, and we do not utilize Google Analytics Advertising or remarketing features to track users across the web for targeted advertising.
Managing Your Preferences: You have control over your cookie preferences. When you first visit our site, you can choose to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can also modify your browser settings to block cookies entirely, though this may impact how our website functions. To opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Children's Privacy
Atis Designs, LLC provides professional B2B services intended for adults and corporate entities. Our website and services are not directed at, nor do we knowingly collect personal information from, children under the age of 18.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will promptly delete that information from our servers.
International Transfer
We are a global design studio serving an international client base. As a result, the personal information we collect may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries outside of your home jurisdiction, including the United States.
When we transfer data originating from the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, or Canada to other countries, we ensure it is protected by appropriate legal safeguards. We rely on recognized transfer mechanisms, primarily Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, and we transfer data to countries that have received an Adequacy Decision where applicable. This ensures your privacy rights travel with your data, no matter where it goes.
Changes to This Policy & Contact
The digital landscape and privacy laws are constantly evolving, and our business may change over time. As a result, we may update this Privacy Policy periodically.
When we make significant changes, we will notify you by posting a prominent announcement on our website or by sending an email to our active clients. The "Effective Date" at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version. We encourage you to review this policy occasionally to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
Your privacy matters to us, and we want to make it easy for you to get answers to your questions. If you have any concerns about this policy, wish to exercise your privacy rights, or just want to understand more about how we handle data, please reach out.
