Who this policy applies to

This Privacy Policy applies to visitors of f5-studio.com and people who contact F5 Studio through our website forms, email, or other business communication channels.

This policy does not apply to websites, platforms, or services operated by third parties, even if they are linked from our website.

Personal information we collect

We collect personal information in three main ways: information you provide directly, technical information collected when you use the website, and information processed through tools that help us run and protect the website.

Information you provide directly

When you contact us through a website form or request a quote, we may collect:

• your name;
• email address;
• phone number;
• project budget;
• service or project type you are interested in;
• message content and project details you choose to share.

We do not currently collect files through our website forms.

If you contact us by email, we may also process the information included in your email and related business correspondence.

Technical and usage information

When you visit our website, some technical information may be processed automatically by our website, hosting provider, analytics tools, security tools, or anti-spam tools. This may include:

• IP address or approximate location data;
• browser type and version;
• device type;
• operating system;
• pages visited;
• time and date of visit;
• referring website or campaign source;
• interaction with website forms;
• technical logs needed for security and troubleshooting.

We use this information to keep the website working, understand how visitors use it, protect forms from spam, and improve the website experience.

Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some cookies are necessary for the website to work. Others, such as analytics cookies, help us understand how visitors use the website.

For more details, please read our Cookie Policy.

How we use personal information

We use personal information for the following purposes:

• to respond to inquiries and requests submitted through our website;
• to discuss potential projects and prepare proposals;
• to provide information about our services when you ask for it;
• to communicate with clients and prospective clients;
• to maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the website;
• to protect website forms from spam, bots, and abuse;
• to analyze website performance and visitor behavior in aggregate;
• to improve our website, content, and service pages;
• to keep business records where needed;
• to comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

We do not currently use contact form submissions for newsletter marketing or automated email campaigns.

Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager

We use Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager to understand how visitors use our website and how our pages perform.

Google Analytics may process technical and usage data such as page views, traffic sources, device information, approximate location, and interactions with the website. We use this data in aggregate to understand website performance and improve our content and structure.

Google Tag Manager helps us manage website tags and scripts. It does not create user profiles by itself, but it can be used to load tools such as Google Analytics depending on the website configuration and your consent choices.

Anti-spam and security tools

We use anti-spam and security tools to protect our forms and website from automated submissions, spam, and abuse. These tools may include Google reCAPTCHA, Spam Protect for Contact Form 7, WP Armour Honeypot Anti Spam, and other WordPress security or anti-spam mechanisms.

These tools may process technical data such as IP address, browser and device data, interaction patterns, or hidden form-field signals to decide whether a form submission appears legitimate.

Hosting and email

Our website is hosted with ukraine.com.ua. The current hosting server is located in Germany.

We use Gmail / Google Workspace for business email communication. If you contact us through a form or by email, your inquiry and related correspondence may be processed through Google Workspace.

AI-assisted tools

We may use AI-assisted tools to help us review project inquiries, estimate scope, analyze website or SEO context, draft proposals, or prepare internal working notes.

When we use these tools, we try to limit the information shared to what is necessary for the task. We do not intentionally submit sensitive personal information unless it is necessary to respond to your request or deliver the relevant service.

Legal bases for processing

Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on one or more of the following:

• Pre-contractual steps or contract performance: when we respond to your inquiry, discuss a potential project, prepare a proposal, or provide services.
• Legitimate interests: when we operate and improve our website, protect forms from spam, secure our systems, communicate with business contacts, and manage our business records.
• Consent: when we use optional cookies or analytics tools that require consent.
• Legal obligation: when we need to keep records or respond to lawful requests.

Who we share personal information with

We do not sell personal information.

We may share or make personal information available to:

• hosting and infrastructure providers;
• email and communication providers;
• analytics and tag management providers;
• anti-spam and security tools;
• trusted contractors, subcontractors, or specialists who help us evaluate inquiries or deliver services;
• AI-assisted tools used for internal business support;
• legal, accounting, or professional advisers where necessary;
• public authorities, if required by law.

Contractors and service providers may access personal information only where it is needed for the relevant business purpose.

International data transfers

F5 Studio is based in Ukraine, and our hosting server is currently located in Germany. Some service providers we use, including Google services and AI-assisted tools, may process data in other countries.

Where international transfers occur, we rely on the safeguards, contractual terms, or transfer mechanisms made available by the relevant service providers, where required by applicable law.

How long we keep personal information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

In practice, this means we may keep:

• website inquiries for as long as needed to respond, discuss the project, and maintain business records;
• project and client correspondence for the duration of the business relationship and a reasonable period afterwards;
• technical logs for a limited period needed for security, troubleshooting, and website maintenance;
• analytics data according to the retention settings of the analytics tools we use;
• records required for legal, tax, accounting, or dispute-resolution purposes for the period required or allowed by law.

If we no longer need personal information, we will delete it or anonymize it where reasonably possible.

• request access to your personal information;
• ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
• ask us to delete your personal information;
