Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data on a lawful basis such as performance of a contract, steps taken at your request before entering a contract, compliance with legal obligations, legitimate interests, or consent where required. We limit processing to what is necessary for the relevant purpose.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the GDPR may apply to our processing of your personal data.

GDPR Rights

Where applicable, you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and data portability, as well as the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.

GDPR rights are assessed against the legal basis and context of each request.

Data We Collect

We may collect identification and contact details, event and design preferences, order details, payment-related information, communication records, and technical data such as device and usage information. Where relevant, we also process information needed to prepare quotes, confirm dates, arrange delivery or setup, and manage service follow-up.

The data collected depends on the inquiry, order, or consultation requested.

We receive personal data from contact forms, phone calls, consultation appointments, and other communications with us. We may also generate data from our own records of inquiries, quotes, deposits, confirmations, and service delivery, and we may receive limited technical data from the website and related systems.

Most information is provided directly by the user during contact or booking.

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion in appropriate cases, restriction of processing, or objection to certain processing activities.

Data Retention

Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the relevant purpose, including handling inquiries, preparing and fulfilling orders, maintaining business records, and meeting legal or accounting requirements. When data is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymize it where appropriate.
