Cookies & Analytics

When you visit kbco.studio or kbco.uk, we may store small data files called “cookies” on your device. These help us:

  • analyse website usage
  • improve visitor experience
  • remember certain preferences

We use analytics tools to only gather anonymous visitor data such as page visits, session duration, and aggregate behaviour.

We will request your consent before setting non-essential cookies. Essential cookies that are required for the website to function are processed under our legitimate interest.

Data Protection & Personal Data Handling

As a client, collaborator, or contact, we may process certain personal data such as your:

  • name
  • email address
  • job title
  • phone number

This data is processed under the lawful bases of fulfilling contractual obligations or in our legitimate interest to communicate professionally. Inability to provide this information may hinder our ability to offer our services.

We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers such as website hosting, analytics providers, and professional advisers. All such providers are bound by contractual obligations to keep your data secure and only process it on our instructions.

If data is transferred outside the UK/EEA (e.g., to Google Analytics servers in the US), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Retention period

We generally retain your personal data for up to 1 year after our last interaction. For contract-related data, we may retain it for up to 12 years after the contract ends (e.g., for legal, financial, or regulatory purposes).

Security of Your Data

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet-based system can be 100% secure, and you transmit information at your own risk.

Your Rights Under Data Protection Law

You have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to:

  • request access to the data we hold about you
  • request correction of inaccuracies
  • request deletion of data where lawful
  • restrict processing
  • object to processing based on legitimate interests
  • port your data

To exercise these rights, please contact us via the details below. You also have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, such as the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (www.ico.org.uk).
