Privacy Policy

How
We Handle
Privacy.

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Poison Studio (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit or interact with our website. We're committed to safeguarding your privacy and complying with all relevant data protection laws in the UK.

Information We Collect

Personal Information

We may collect personal data you voluntarily provide to us. This includes:

  • Your name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Any message or information you submit via our contact forms or email

This data is only collected when you choose to give it to us—like when you reach out through a form or sign up to hear from us.

Non-Personal Information

We also collect some technical and behavioural data automatically when you browse our site, such as:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and settings
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited and interaction patterns

This helps us understand how people use our site and how we can improve it.

Tools We Use

We use the following third-party tools to help us understand and improve your experience on our website:

Google Analytics

Google Analytics collects aggregated, anonymised data about how visitors use our site. This helps us track performance, monitor usage trends, and understand our audience better. It does not collect personal information.

Microsoft Clarity

We use Microsoft Clarity to gain insights into user interaction through heatmaps and session recordings. All data is anonymised and used strictly for usability and site optimisation purposes.

CRM System

If you contact us or provide your information via a form, your details may be securely stored in our CRM system. This allows us to manage our communication with you efficiently and respond to your requests properly.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to enquiries and communicate with you
  • Provide any services or info you’ve requested
  • Improve our website and services
  • Send occasional updates or marketing messages (if you've opted in)

We’ll never send you spam, and you can opt out of any communication at any time.

Our Legal Basis for Processing Data

We collect and process personal data based on the following lawful grounds:

  • Consent: When you give us permission (e.g. opting into marketing emails)
  • Legitimate Interest: To operate our business effectively, improve the site, or respond to enquiries
  • Contract: If we need your data to fulfil a service or request you made
  • Legal Obligation: Where we're required to keep records for compliance

How Long We Keep Your Information

We only keep your personal data for as long as it’s needed—usually to fulfil the purpose it was collected for (like responding to an enquiry). After that, we securely delete or anonymise it. If you request deletion, we’ll take care of that as quickly as possible unless we’re legally required to keep it for longer.

Data Transfers Outside the UK

Some of our third-party tools (like Google and Microsoft) may process data outside of the UK. When they do, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place—such as standard contractual clauses or certifications—so your data is still protected to UK standards.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any third parties outside of our organisation. However, we may use third-party services (like Google Analytics or CRM providers) to help run our website and services. These providers only access data as needed and are contractually bound to keep it secure and confidential.

Security Measures

We take security seriously. We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to keep your data safe. However, no online transmission or storage system is 100% secure, so while we do our best, we can’t guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate information
  • Request we delete your personal data at any time
  • Withdraw your consent for marketing communications

To exercise any of these rights, just contact us—we’re happy to help.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and collect non-personal data (like website usage patterns). You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.

Children's Privacy

Our website isn’t intended for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal data from anyone under that age. If we learn we’ve collected information from a child, we’ll delete it promptly.

Complaints

If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, please reach out so we can make it right. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO): www.ico.org.uk

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. If we make any significant changes, we’ll post the updated version here. By continuing to use our site, you agree to the latest version of the policy.
