Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 10th May 2025

TL;DR Summary (Short Version)

We collect names and emails when you submit a form. We use basic website analytics (via Vercel) to understand how people use the site—this helps with marketing and improving user experience. Emails submitted via the form are sent to us using Resend API. We'll update if that changes.

1. Who We Are

Project Ensemble ("we", "us", or "our") is a creative agency based in the UK. We are the data controller of your personal information under this policy. You can contact us at:

• Email: info@projectensemble.com

2. What Data We Collect

We collect and process the following personal data when you interact with our website:

• Name and Email Address: If you submit a booking form or application form.
• Usage Data: Vercel Analytics collects basic information such as:
  • Referrer (where a visitor came from)
  • Device and browser type
  • Country (inferred from IP)
  • Page views and visit duration

  Note: Vercel Analytics does not store IP addresses or uniquely identify users.

3. How We Use Your Data

• To Respond to Inquiries or Bookings: If you submit your name and email, we use this to follow up with you.
• Email Handling: Form submissions are sent to us using Resend, an email API service.
• Analytics & Insights: We use Vercel Analytics to understand how people use the website and improve our marketing and services.

4. Lawful Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR, our lawful bases include:

• Consent: When you provide your data via a form, we treat this as explicit consent.
• Legitimate Interests: We use anonymised analytics to improve our site and services.

5. Sharing Your Data

We do not sell or share your data with third parties for advertising. We may share your data with:

• Resend (for sending form submissions by email)
• Vercel Analytics (for website usage tracking, anonymised)

These services are GDPR-compliant or operate under valid data transfer mechanisms (like SCCs for US-based providers).

6. Data Retention

• Form submissions: Kept for up to 12 months unless legally required to retain longer.
• Analytics data: Retained per Vercel's default (currently non-identifiable and short-term).

7. Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

• Access your data
• Request correction or deletion
• Object to processing
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@projectensemble.com.

8. Cookies & Tracking

We currently do not use non-essential cookies or tracking that would require a cookie banner. Should this change, we will implement a compliant cookie notice.

9. Children's Data

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe we have collected data from a child, please contact us immediately.
