Privacy Policy

Last updated — June 2026

*ÉTUDE* is a design and photography studio. This privacy policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit our site or work with us, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep everything deliberate and minimal – just like our design work.

01. Information We Collect

We collect only what is essential to provide our services and communicate effectively. When you reach out via our contact form, book a consultation, or initiate a project with ÉTUDE, we collect your name, email address, company or brand name, and relevant project briefs. Additionally, when you browse our website, we automatically collect anonymized diagnostic data, such as device type, browser specifications, and referral traffic, solely to maintain and improve website performance.

02. How We Use Information

We process your data strictly to fulfill creative commissions, manage client communications, draft agreements, and deliver production deliverables. From time to time, we may send studio newsletters or portfolio updates if you have opted in. You retain full control to unsubscribe at any point. Under no circumstances do we sell, rent, or trade personal data to third parties.

03. Sharing & Disclosure

We share information solely with trusted infrastructure partners necessary to operate our studio — such as secure web hosting providers, cloud storage for production assets, billing systems, and communication platforms. All third-party providers adhere to strict data security standards. We do not authorize any third party to utilize your personal information for their own marketing purposes.

04. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to accomplish the purposes outlined in this policy, or as mandated by statutory accounting and legal compliance. Production files and correspondence associated with commissioned projects are archived securely for reference and continuity throughout our ongoing client relationships.

05. Cookies & Tracking

Our website uses essential and privacy-focused cookies to ensure smooth navigation, preserve aesthetic preferences, and gauge general audience interactions. We do not engage in behavioral cross-site tracking or third-party ad retargeting. You can modify or block cookie settings via your browser at any time.

06. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including GDPR and CCPA regulations), you are entitled to request access to the personal data we hold about you, request corrections or complete erasure, object to certain data processing, or withdraw consent at any time without penalty. We are committed to responding to all legitimate rights inquiries promptly.

07. Contact & Inquiries

If you have any questions, feedback, or formal privacy requests concerning this policy or your personal records, please reach out to our studio directly at hello@etude.studio. We review and respond to all inquiries thoughtfully and promptly.
