Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Black Sillage ("Black Sillage," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit blacksillage.com (the "Site") or contact us, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to this policy.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us. When you submit our contact form or email us, we collect your name, email address, and any details you choose to share about your brand or project.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers may collect basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device, referring pages, and how you interact with the Site. We also store small preferences in your browser, for example whether site sound is on or off.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site working, to understand how it is used, and to measure and improve our marketing. This may include analytics and advertising tools, such as the Meta pixel, that help us reach and understand audiences. You can control cookies through your browser settings, and where required we will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies.

4. How we use your information

• To respond to your inquiries and provide our services.
• To operate, maintain, and improve the Site.
• To communicate about projects, proposals, and updates you ask for.
• To measure and improve our advertising.
• To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

5. Legal bases for processing

Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data on the basis of your consent, our legitimate interest in running and growing our studio, the performance of a contract or steps taken at your request, and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time.

6. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run our business, such as website hosting, customer relationship and booking tools, and email providers; with advertising and analytics partners as described above; and with authorities or others where required by law or to protect our rights. These providers may process data in countries outside your own, including the United States.

7. Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, to comply with legal obligations, or to resolve disputes, after which we delete or anonymize it.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these, email us at blacksillage@gmail.com and we will respond as required by law.

9. International visitors

We operate across the United States, Europe, and Asia. Wherever you are, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries with different data protection laws. We take steps to protect it consistent with this policy.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Children's privacy

The Site is intended for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above shows when it last changed, and material changes will be reflected on this page.
