Privacy policy.

1. Who is responsible

DesignKompanie
Basel, Switzerland
Email: hello@designkompanie.com

2. What data we collect

We collect personal data only where it is needed to provide our services. Specifically:

• Contact form: your name, email address and the content of your message. We use these only to answer your enquiry and never share them without your consent.
• Project data: when you commission work, we receive the materials you send us — manuscripts, photos, names and details needed for the illustration. They are used solely to produce your commission and are deleted after the project on request, or archived for reprints.
• Server logs: IP address, page requested, timestamp and browser type, kept for at most 30 days for security and error analysis.

3. Cookies and tracking

We use the Meta Pixel (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.) to measure how well our advertising works — for example, whether someone who saw an ad later sent us an enquiry. It sets cookies and sends Meta your IP address, the pages you visited on this site, and technical details of your browser.

If you are in the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland, nothing is loaded until you accept in our cookie banner. Elsewhere it runs by default and you can decline at any time using the same banner. Declining costs you nothing — the site works identically.

We use no other analytics tools — no Google Analytics, no third-party advertising networks beyond Meta. Technically necessary cookies (for example, for the contact form) are set only during active use and are not used for tracking.

4. Our social media publishing tools

We operate internal software that publishes content from our studio to our own social media pages (for example, our Facebook Page) via the platforms' official APIs. These tools access only our own accounts and pages. They do not collect, store or process any data about visitors to this website, followers of our pages, or any other third parties.

5. External service providers

Our website is hosted by Vercel Inc. (USA). Emails are processed by our email provider. Where providers process data outside Switzerland or the EU/EEA, they are contractually bound to an adequate level of data protection.

6. Your rights

You may at any time request information about the personal data we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. Write to hello@designkompanie.com — see also our data deletion instructions. We answer within 30 days.

7. Changes

We may update this policy as our services evolve. The current version is always published on this page. Last updated: August 2026.
