Use of the studio three sixty website

A number of features on our website invite you to provide us with personal information, such as the contact us option and our email contact facilities. The purpose of these facilities is apparent at the point that you provide your personal information and we only use that information for those purposes.

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web-based analytics tool that tracks and reports on the manner in which the website is used to help us to improve it. Google Analytics does this by placing small text files called ‘cookies’ on your device. The information that the cookies collect, such as the number of visitors to the site, the pages visited and the length of time spent on the site, is aggregated and therefore anonymous. Please also see ‘Marketing and other emails’ below. Please see our Cookie Policy below for more information on cookies and how to manage and remove them.

You may refuse the use of cookies or withdraw your consent at any time by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser but please note that this may affect your use and experience of our website. By continuing to use our website without changing your privacy settings, you are agreeing to our use of cookies.

Marketing and other emails

We use personal information to understand whether you read the emails and other materials, such as newsletters, that we send to you. We monitor whether you click on the links within the content that we include in them and whether you go on to visit our website after you click on that link (immediately and on future visits). We do this by using software that places a cookie on your device which tracks this activity and records it against your email address. Please see our Cookie Policy below or more information on cookies and how to manage and remove them. Removal of this cookie will not affect your experience on our websites.

We may also use a relationship management tool, where permitted by applicable local law, to assess the strength of the relationship between individuals in studio three sixty and our clients or potential clients based on the frequency of email contact between them. We use that information in order to assess, analyse and improve the services that we provide.

If you receive marketing communications from us and no longer wish to do so, you may unsubscribe at any time by emailing [email protected].

Who we share it with

We will not share or sell your information to a third party.

How long we keep it

Your personal information will be retained in accordance with our global data retention policy which categorises all of the information held by studio three sixty and specifies the appropriate retention period for each category of data. Those periods are based on the requirements of applicable data protection laws and the purpose for which the information is collected and used.

You have a right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you, or to get a copy of it

  • Object to us using your data for direct marketing and in certain circumstances ‘legitimate interests’, research and statistical reasons
  • Withdraw any consent you’ve previously given us

To do so, please contact us through the app or by emailing [email protected].

Where we store your data

We might transfer and store the data we collect from you somewhere outside the European Economic Area (‘EEA’). People who work for us or our suppliers outside the EEA might also process your data. We may share data for the purposes of storage with organisations and countries that:

  • The European Commission say have adequate data protection.
