Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Quartarone Visuals (“we”, “us”, or “our”) handles personal information when you use our portfolio website (the “Site”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) where it applies, and respecting rights available to consumers in the United States (including under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) as amended by the CPRA, where applicable).
This policy is provided for transparency and best-practice alignment. It does not constitute legal advice. If you are unsure about your obligations, consult a qualified attorney.

Depending on how you interact with the Site, we may process:
- Email and professional inquiries: if you contact us by email or via professional channels linked on the Site (e.g. mail, LinkedIn, Instagram), we process the identifiers and message content you voluntarily provide.
- Technical data: information your browser sends automatically (e.g. IP address, browser type, device type, date/time of access) may be processed by our hosting or infrastructure providers as part of delivering the Site. This Site is designed as a static site with minimal server-side processing.
- Consent preferences: your choice regarding cookies / similar technologies may be stored locally in your browser (see our Cookie Policy).
We do not use this Site to collect special categories of personal data (such as health data).

We use personal data for the following purposes:
- To respond to your inquiries and manage professional communications;

4. Legal basis (GDPR)
Where the GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): where you accept non-essential cookies / similar technologies, as described in our Cookie Policy.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): where necessary to operate a secure website, analyse basic, privacy-friendly usage in line with your choices, and communicate with business contacts, balanced against your rights.
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR): where we must retain or disclose information by law.
5. Retention
We retain contact inquiries and related correspondence for up to twelve (12) months after our last meaningful interaction, unless a longer period is required to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or to comply with legal obligations. Thereafter, data is deleted or anonymised where possible.
6. Sharing and international transfers
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with service providers strictly necessary to host or operate the Site (for example, a hosting or email provider), subject to appropriate safeguards.
If data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we will ensure appropriate safeguards where required by law (for example, Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions).
7. Security measures
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk, including HTTPS where deployed, access limitations, separation of environments where applicable, and careful selection of processors. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Access your personal data;
- Rectify inaccurate data;
- Erase data (“right to be forgotten”) in certain circumstances;
- Restrict processing in certain circumstances;
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests;
- Data portability for data you provided and that we process by automated means, where applicable;
- Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal;
