Privacy Policy.
What we collect
Information you give us directly
When you submit the contact form, book a call, or email us, we collect your name, email address, phone number (if provided), company or website details, and whatever you tell us about your project.
When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address.
When you become a client, we additionally hold the information needed to deliver and invoice the work — billing details, access credentials you share with us, and project correspondence.
Information collected automatically
When you visit this site, we collect technical information including your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages viewed, and time spent. This is collected through analytics tools and, where required, only after you consent via our cookie banner. See our [Cookie Policy] for detail.
What we don't collect
We do not collect special category data (health, religion, political opinion, biometrics), and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. We do not process payment card details — payments are handled by our invoicing and payment providers, who receive that information directly. [proveri koji provider]
Why we use it
Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
Responding to enquiries and preparing quotes | Steps taken at your request before entering a contract |
Delivering projects and providing support | Performance of a contract |
Invoicing and keeping accounting records | Legal obligation |
Sending the newsletter | Your consent |
Understanding how the site is used | Your consent, via the cookie banner |
Protecting the site against abuse and spam | Our legitimate interest |
We do not sell your information, and we do not use it to make automated decisions about you.
Who we share it with
We use third-party services to run the studio. Each receives only what it needs, and each acts under its own privacy terms:
Cal.com — scheduling discovery calls
Google — analytics and tag management
[potvrdi GA4]Framer — website hosting and form handling
newsletter tool — sending the newsletter
Gmail — business email
Invoicing tools — invoicing and payment processing
Google Meet — video calls
Some of these providers are located outside the UAE and the EEA. Where information is transferred internationally, it is protected by the provider's standard contractual clauses or an equivalent safeguard.
We may also disclose information where we are legally required to do so.
How long we keep it
Enquiries that don't become projects: 24 months, then deleted
Client project records: for the duration of the engagement and 2 years after, for accounting and legal purposes
Newsletter subscribers: until you unsubscribe
Analytics data: as configured in the tool, typically 14 months
How we protect it
We use reputable providers with encryption in transit, restrict access to information to those who need it, and keep the number of systems holding personal data deliberately small. No system is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect what we hold.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
Ask what information we hold about you and receive a copy
Have inaccurate information corrected
Have your information deleted, where we have no ongoing need for it
Object to or restrict how we use it
Receive your information in a portable format
Withdraw consent at any time, where consent is the basis we rely on
To exercise any of these, email hello@off-mode.com. We will respond within 30 days. If you are in the EU or UK and are unhappy with our response, you may complain to your national data protection authority.
Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing takes effect immediately.
