Privacy Policy

1. Privacy at a glance

Protecting your personal data is very important to us. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

This privacy policy explains which personal data is processed when you visit this website and which rights you have.

2. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Email: info@donyastudio.com

3. Hosting

When you visit this website, our hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files. This includes in particular:

• IP address
• date and time of access
• browser type and version
• operating system used
• referrer URL
• host name of the accessing device

This processing is based on our legitimate interest in the secure and stable operation of the website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

4. Contact form and enquiries

If you contact us via the contact form or by email, the data you submit is stored and processed. This may include in particular:

• name
• email address
• phone number (if provided)
• wedding date
• venue / location
• message text

The data is processed solely in order to handle your enquiry and to take steps prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR). It is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for that purpose and no statutory retention obligations apply.

Your enquiry is sent to us by email. Submitting the form works regardless of whether you have accepted marketing cookies.

5. Instagram

This website may contain links to our Instagram profile. Clicking an Instagram link takes you away from our website. The platform operator is solely responsible for any data processing carried out by Instagram. Further information can be found in Instagram's privacy policy.

6. YouTube and Vimeo videos

This website may embed videos from YouTube or Vimeo. Videos are only loaded after you actively click play; until then no connection is established to their servers and only locally hosted preview images are displayed. Once a video is started, personal data (for example your IP address) may be transmitted to the provider's servers.

The providers are YouTube (Google) and Vimeo Inc. Further information can be found in their respective privacy policies.

7. Cookies

Our website may use technically necessary cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that enable certain functions to work.

Where cookies that are not technically necessary are used, this is done exclusively on the basis of your consent.

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner appears allowing you to decide whether marketing cookies (Google Ads conversion tracking, see section 8) may be used. Your choice is stored locally in your browser (localStorage, technically necessary). You can change or withdraw your decision at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in the website footer.

8. Google Ads conversion tracking (Consent Mode v2)

We use Google Ads conversion tracking on this website, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). It allows us to measure whether visitors reached our website through a Google ad and subsequently sent an enquiry.

Tracking is activated only after your explicit consent via our cookie banner (Google Consent Mode v2). Without consent, no Google script is loaded and no marketing cookies are set. Only after your consent does the website load the Google tag (gtag.js), and Google may set cookies (e.g. “_gcl_au”) in order to attribute conversions.

The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.

In this context, personal data (e.g. IP address, information about the device and browser used) may be transferred to Google servers, including in the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Submitting an enquiry via our contact form works regardless of whether you consent to tracking.

Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy.

9. Your rights

You have the right at any time:

• to obtain information about the data we store about you
• to have inaccurate data corrected
• to request the erasure of your data
• to request the restriction of processing
• to object to processing
• to request data portability
• to withdraw consent you have given, with effect for the future

10. Right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data. The competent authority in North Rhine-Westphalia is:

Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen

11. Validity of this privacy policy

This privacy policy is currently valid. As our website develops or due to changed legal requirements, it may become necessary to amend this privacy policy.
