Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Atelier Limardo ("Atelier Limardo", "we", "us" or "our") collects, uses, shares and protects personal information when you visit atelierlimardo.com or contact us. It applies to this website and to correspondence that begins here. Please read it alongside our Cookie Policy, which covers cookies and similar technologies in more detail.

Information we collect

We collect the following categories of personal information:

Information you provide. When you submit an inquiry, we collect your name and email address, and any optional details you choose to give us: phone number, where the evening would take place, number of guests, timing, occasion, whether you would like the evening documented, a description of what you have in mind, and how you heard about us.
Correspondence. If you write to us, we keep the content of the messages you send and our replies.
Usage information. If you consent to analytics, we collect information about how you use the site, including pages viewed, the site or search that referred you, approximate location derived from your IP address, and device and browser type.

How we use your information

We use personal information to:

Respond to your inquiry, answer questions and prepare a proposal.
Arrange and deliver a commission you engage us for.
Operate, maintain, secure and improve this website.
Understand how the site is found and used, where you have consented to analytics.
Comply with our legal obligations and enforce our legal rights.

Legal bases for processing

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process personal information on the following legal bases: your consent, for analytics cookies and any optional communications; the performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering into one, when you inquire about or engage a commission; our legitimate interests in responding to inquiries, operating and securing the site and understanding how it is used; and compliance with legal obligations. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting processing carried out beforehand.

Cookies and analytics

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics. Analytics is loaded in a consent-denied state and sets no cookies and collects no identifiers unless you agree. Our Cookie Policy sets out what is used, why, and how to change your choice at any time.

How we share your information

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers or add you to a mailing list without your consent. We share it only with service providers who process it on our behalf — including website hosting, email delivery and analytics — under contracts that limit them to providing those services; with professional advisers where necessary; where required by law, regulation or legal process; and to establish or defend legal claims or protect the rights and safety of any person. If our business is involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

International transfers

We operate from the United States, and our service providers may process personal information there and in other countries. Those countries may not offer the same level of data protection as your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, for transfers out of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom.

How long we keep it

We keep personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy — for inquiries and commissions, for the duration of the correspondence or engagement and a reasonable period afterwards — and then delete it, unless a longer period is required by law or needed to establish or defend legal claims. You may ask us to delete your information sooner at any time.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

Access the personal information we hold about you and request a copy.
Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
Request deletion of your information.
Object to or ask us to restrict certain processing.
Receive your information in a portable format.
Withdraw consent at any time, including for analytics cookies.
Be free from discrimination for exercising any of these rights.

Exercising your rights

Write to andrea@atelierlimardo.com and tell us what you would like us to do. We may need to verify your identity before acting, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access, disclosure or alteration. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's privacy

This website is not directed to children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, write to us and we will delete it.

Third-party websites

This site may link to websites we do not operate. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, and we encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and it takes effect when posted. Material changes will be made clear on the page.
