2. Personal Data We Collect

We may collect and process the following categories of personal data:

  • Contact details, such as your name, email address, company name, or any other details you provide when contacting us

  • Project or enquiry details, such as information you include in contact forms, emails, booking enquiries, collaboration requests or other submissions

Where we use Plausible Analytics, we do not use cookies for analytics purposes and we do not collect or store personal data that can be used to identify individual visitors through that analytics tool. Plausible provides us with aggregated statistics such as page views, referring sources, browser, operating system, device type and approximate location derived from the visitor’s IP address. Raw IP addresses and full User-Agent strings are not stored by Plausible.

We only collect personal data that is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy.

3. How We Use Your Data

We may use your personal data for the following purposes:

  • to respond to your messages, questions or enquiries

  • to assess and follow up on potential collaborations, projects or service requests

  • to communicate with you about our services

  • to operate, maintain and secure our website

  • to improve website performance, usability and content

  • to comply with legal, accounting or tax obligations

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data on the basis of one or more of the following legal grounds:

  • Consent, only where we introduce optional non-essential technologies that legally require prior consent

  • Performance of a contract or taking steps prior to entering into a contract, for example when you contact us regarding a project or service

  • Legal obligation, where processing is necessary for compliance with applicable laws and regulations

  • Legitimate interests, such as maintaining website security, responding to professional enquiries, improving our services, and preventing misuse, and measuring overall website performance through privacy-friendly, aggregated analytics, provided that your rights and freedoms do not override those interests

5. How Long We Keep Your Data

We do not keep your personal data for longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

As a general guideline:

  • contact enquiries: up to 12 months after the last meaningful contact

  • project-related correspondence: for as long as necessary to evaluate, manage or complete the project or request

  • accounting and invoicing data: for as long as required by applicable tax and accounting laws

  • technical and security logs: only for as long as reasonably necessary for website security, diagnostics and maintenance

6. Sharing of Data

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share limited personal data with trusted third-party service providers where necessary for the operation of our website or business, such as:

  • website hosting and email providers

  • website developers or technical service providers

  • legal, tax or public authorities where disclosure is required by law

  • Plausible Analytics for privacy-friendly aggregated website statistics

  • Bunny for video contend delivery

  • Tally for forms

Where third parties process personal data on our behalf, they do so only under appropriate contractual safeguards and only for the purposes relevant to their services.

7. International Transfers

Some of our service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area. Where this happens, we take appropriate steps to ensure that your personal data remains adequately protected, for example by relying on adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses where required.

Where we use Plausible Analytics, visitor data is processed and stored in the European Union according to Plausible’s published service information.

8. Your Rights

Subject to applicable data protection law, you have the right to:

  • request access to your personal data

  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data

  • request deletion of your personal data

  • request restriction of processing

  • object to certain forms of processing

  • withdraw your consent at any time where processing is based on consent

  • request transfer of your data in a portable format, where applicable

  • lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

If you are located in Belgium, you may contact the Belgian Data Protection Authority.

To exercise your rights, please contact us at info@styn.be.

We may ask for reasonable proof of identity before responding to your request.

9. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, disclosure or alteration.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of those third-party websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.

11. Cookies

Our website may use strictly necessary technologies required for the proper functioning, security and basic operation of the site.

We do not use advertising cookies, marketing trackers or cookie-based analytics on this website.

For website analytics, we use Plausible Analytics. Plausible is a privacy-friendly analytics service that does not use cookies, does not generate persistent identifiers, and does not collect or store personal data that can be used to identify individual visitors. The analytics information available to us is aggregated and is used only to understand general website traffic and improve the website.

Plausible may process limited technical information in order to provide aggregated statistics, such as page URL, referrer, browser, operating system, device type and approximate location derived from the visitor’s IP address. Raw IP addresses and full User-Agent strings are not stored by us.

Certain pages of this website may also contain embedded or third-party content or services, such as forms, media delivery or other external functionality. Where such services are used, the relevant third-party provider may process technical information or use its own technologies in accordance with its own privacy and cookie policies.

If we introduce non-essential cookies, cookie-based analytics or other tracking technologies in the future, we will update this Policy and implement an appropriate consent mechanism where required.

12. Cookie Consent

We do not currently use a cookie consent banner on this website because we do not use advertising cookies or cookie-based analytics.

Where this website includes third-party services or embedded content, those providers may process data or use technologies in accordance with their own policies. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of those providers where relevant.

If we later introduce technologies that require prior consent under applicable law, we will update this Privacy Policy and implement an appropriate cookie consent mechanism at that time.

13. Third-Party Services

We may use selected third-party service providers to support the operation, performance and functionality of this website.

These providers may include, for example:

  • Plausible Analytics, for privacy-friendly and aggregated website analytics

  • Tally for forms and information submitted by visitors

  • Bunny for media delivery, video hosting, content delivery or other website performance-related services

  • Webflow and related infrastructure providers, for website hosting and technical delivery

When you interact with such services, they may process limited technical or personal data as necessary to provide their functionality. This may include, depending on the service, information such as page requests, browser or device information, IP-based location data, form submission data, or content delivery and performance data.

These third-party providers act under their own privacy policies and may use their own technologies or infrastructure in connection with the services they provide. Where relevant, we encourage you to consult their respective privacy and cookie policies for more information about how they process data.

We only use third-party services where we consider them relevant to the operation or improvement of the website and, where required, we will update this Policy and implement an appropriate consent mechanism for any future non-essential tracking technologies.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy & Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law, our services, or our website setup. The most recent version will always be available on this page, together with the date of the latest update.
