Privacy Policy

We collect information in three ways:

• Information you give us — name, email address, phone number, company, and project details when you fill out our contact form, request a proposal, or email us.
• Information collected automatically — device and browser type, approximate location derived from IP address, pages viewed, referring URL, and similar log data collected through cookies and analytics tools.
• Information from third parties — data that our clients or service providers share with us to deliver a project (for example, access credentials for a hosting or analytics account).

We use personal information to:

• Respond to enquiries, prepare proposals, and deliver services.
• Send project updates, invoices, and administrative messages.
• Improve our website, services, and client experience.
• Keep our systems secure and prevent misuse.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on your consent, our legitimate interest in operating and improving our studio, the performance of a contract with you, or compliance with a legal obligation.

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences and to help us understand how the site is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect how the site works. We may use privacy-conscious analytics tools to measure aggregate traffic and improve the experience.

We display ads on our blog to support the free content we publish. To do this, we partner with third-party advertising vendors, including Google AdSense. These vendors may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Serve ads based on your interests and browsing history.
• Measure ad performance and prevent ad fraud.
• Limit how many times you see the same ad.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads on our site. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings or About Ads.

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:

• Trusted service providers who help us run our business, such as hosting, email delivery, analytics, and payment processing, under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
• Professional advisors such as accountants and lawyers.
• Authorities when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights and safety.
• A successor entity in the event of a merger or acquisition.

We keep personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this Policy, to meet legal or accounting obligations, or to resolve disputes. When we no longer need it, we delete or anonymise it.

Because we work with clients and providers around the world, your information may be processed in countries other than your own. When required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

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

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct or delete it.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@focusz.studio. We may need to verify your identity before we can act on your request.

We use industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encrypted transport, access controls, and regular reviews of our systems. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our website and services are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the ‘Last updated’ date at the top. Material changes will be communicated through the website or by email where appropriate.
