Privacy policy
Last updated: 23 October 2026
1. Introduction
This policy explains how Placeholder Studios collects, uses and protects personal data in connection with this website and your inquiries.
2. Data controller
Placeholder Studios is responsible for processing your personal data. Contact: placeholderstudioshr@gmail.com.
3. Data we receive
When you contact us using the website form, we receive your name, email address, selected service, message and any details you choose to include. Emails sent directly to us contain the information you provide. Hosting and form providers may process technical data such as IP addresses to provide and secure their services.
4. How we use data
We use this information to respond to inquiries, provide requested information or services, and maintain website security and performance.
5. Legal basis
We process inquiry data on the basis of your consent or our legitimate interest in responding to inquiries. You may withdraw consent by contacting us.
6. Hosting and service providers
The website is hosted by Vercel Inc. Contact form submissions are processed by Web3Forms (Web3Creative) and forwarded to our email inbox. Web3Forms states that its servers are located in the United States. Direct email inquiries are processed by our email provider. We do not sell or rent your personal data.
7. Local preferences
Animation and language preferences are saved in your browser as ps-motion and ps-language. Analytics consent is stored as ps-analytics-consent-v1 only if optional Google Analytics is configured on the public website. You can change your analytics choice using Analytics preferences in the footer. This portfolio's own optional analytics remains governed by your consent choice.
8. Embedded project previews
On a case-study page, the external client website is not loaded until you select Launch live preview. Doing so connects your browser directly to that website and its hosting provider; they may receive technical data such as your IP address and may use their own cookies, tracking and privacy policies. Closing the preview removes its iframe from our page.
9. Optional analytics
When enabled on the public website, Google Analytics 4 is only loaded after you choose Allow analytics. It may use cookies to measure page views and website use. Rejecting analytics keeps it inactive; you may change your choice at any time using the footer settings. Google may process associated data under its own privacy terms. We do not enable advertising storage or personalized ads through this integration.
10. Retention
We keep inquiry data only as long as needed to respond or fulfil the purpose for which it was collected.
11. Your rights
You can request access, correction or deletion of your personal data, restrict or object to processing, and withdraw consent. You can also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Contact us by email to exercise your rights.
12. Security
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure or misuse.
13. Policy updates
Any changes to this policy will be published on this page. Contact placeholderstudioshr@gmail.com with questions about your data.
