Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10/10/2025

‍

At Think Bold Studio, we respect your privacy. We know legal documents can be tedious, but we've kept this straightforward. Here's how we collect, use, and protect your information:

1. What We Collect

Information you provide:

  • Basic contact details (name, email, company name) when you reach out to us or submit a contact form
  • Any additional information you share when discussing potential projects

Information collected automatically:

  • Analytics data such as device type, browser, pages visited, and time spent on our site
  • We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website and improve your experience
  • IP addresses and general location data (country/city level, not precise location)

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To respond to your inquiries and provide design services
  • To improve our website performance and user experience
  • To understand which content resonates with visitors
  • To communicate about ongoing projects (if you're a client)

We do not use your information for marketing purposes unless you specifically opt in.

3. Cookies

We use cookies to make our website work better for you:

Essential cookies: These make the website function properly (like remembering your cookie preferences)

Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand visitor behavior and improve our site

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not work as intended. When you first visit our site, we'll ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. Period.

We only share information when:

  • Required by law: We may disclose information if legally required to do so
  • Service providers: We use trusted third-party services to operate our website and business, including:
    • Web hosting providers
    • Email service providers
    • Analytics tools (Google Analytics)

These partners only access data necessary to provide their services and are bound by confidentiality agreements.

5. International Data Transfers

Since we work with clients worldwide, your information may be processed in countries outside the European Union. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data according to GDPR standards.

6. How Long We Keep Your Data

  • Contact form submissions: We keep your information only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry (typically up to 6 months)
  • Active client information: Retained for the duration of our working relationship plus 5 years for legal and accounting purposes
  • Analytics data: Retained for 26 months through Google Analytics

7. Your Rights

Under GDPR and Portuguese data protection law, you have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of your personal data
  • Correction: Ask us to correct inaccurate information
  • Deletion: Request erasure of your data (right to be forgotten)
  • Objection: Object to how we process your information
  • Portability: Receive your data in a portable format
  • Withdraw consent: If you've given consent for marketing, you can withdraw it anytime

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@thinkboldstudio.com. We'll respond within 30 days.

8. Security

Your data is stored securely using industry-standard practices. We take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to protect your information, but no internet transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. California Privacy Rights

If you're in California, you have additional rights under CCPA. Contact us to learn more about accessing, deleting, or opting out of the sale of your personal information (though we don't sell data).

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll post any changes on this page with a new "Last updated" date. For significant changes, we'll notify you via email if we have your contact information.
