I know that the handling of your Personal Data is important to you. For this reason, I take the greatest possible care when handling your Personal Data and thus ensure a high level of data security.
 
With this Privacy Policy, I would like to inform you about all data protection aspects concerning the collection, storage, and use of your Personal Data when using my website at www.studiomonta.com (“my website”) operated by me, Jarne Goossens, (Sole Trader with ABN 75 898 279 486) Melbourne, Australia. The terms “we”, “us”, or “our” refer to me and the third parties acting on my behalf) acting as the data controller.
 
I will only collect, process, and use your Personal Data in accordance with Australia's Privacy Act (“PA”), the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and of course as described in this Privacy Policy.
 
Personal Data in this sense are all individual details about personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person, such as your name, your telephone number, your address, and other information that you provide when you use my website and services or when you contact me about them. However, it may also include online identifiers such as your device id or your IP Address.
 
What do we process your data for (purpose of processing) and on what legal basis?
In principle, we will process Personal Data:
 

• For the fulfilment of contractual obligations,

 

• Personal Data is processed for the purpose of providing the services,

• The purposes of the data processing are primarily based on the services.

 

• Within the framework of my legitimate interests

Where necessary, we process your data beyond the actual performance of the contract in order to safeguard my legitimate interests or the legitimate interest of third parties that process Personal Data for me. Examples are:
 

• Ensuring IT security and IT operations,

• Measures for business management and further development of services,

• Defence against third-party claims and enforcement of own claims.

 
Based on your consent
 

• Insofar as you have given me your consent to process Personal Data for certain purposes, passing on data to third parties, marketing, advertising etc., this processing is lawful on the basis of your consent.

• Consent given can be revoked at any time. Please note that the revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected by this.

 
What data protection rights do I have?
Every data subject has
 

• Right to information

• Right to rectification

• Right to deletion

• Right to data portability

• Right of objection

• Right to withdraw consent

• Right to complain to a supervisory authority

• Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing.
   

Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local or the for me relevant data protection supervisory authority (in Australia this is the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (“OAIC”) (www.oaic.gov.au)). I would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach a data protection supervisory authority.
 
Finally, you also have a right to object. This applies, on grounds relating to data processing on the basis of my legitimate interest and also to profiling.
 
If you object, we will no longer process your Personal Data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
 
You may withdraw your consent and request me to stop using and/or disclosing your Personal Data for any or all of the Purposes by submitting your request in writing. However, please note that should you withdraw your consent to the collection, use or disclosure of your Personal Data, it may impact my ability to proceed with your transactions, agreements, or interactions with me. Please also note that your withdrawal of consent will not prevent me from exercising my legal rights (including any remedies) or undertaking any steps as I may be entitled to at law.
 
Collection and storage of Personal Data as well as type and purpose of their use
​
a) hosting
To provide my website, I use the services of Wix.com Ltd who processes the above-mentioned data and all data to be processed in connection with the operation of my website (log files) on my behalf. The legal basis for the data processing is my legitimate interest in providing an appealing website.
 
b) processing of data for the use of my Website
When you access my website via your browser, I (more accurately Wix.com Ltd on my behalf) only collects Personal Data that your browser or mobile device automatically transmits in order to enable you to visit my website and to ensure stability and security. These can be in particular:
 

1. Your IP address,

2. Your device identification, i.e., the unique number of the end device, and

3. your browser ID.

 
The processing of this data serves to ensure a smooth connection of my website, the display of my services and listings, the usability of the services, the evaluation and system security and stability, as well as for other administrative purposes.
 
We process the transmitted data strictly for the intended purpose, for a period of 90 days, in the interest of being able to detect, limit and eliminate attacks on my websites. After this period has expired, we delete or anonymize the IP address, unless there are separate legal obligations to store it. The legal basis for this processing of your Personal Data is my legitimate interest.
 
c) processing of data when you are contacting me
If you contact me, I process the data received from you for the purpose of processing and handling your Inquiry. This may include, your name, contact details -if provided by you- and your message. The legal basis of the data processing is my obligation to fulfil the contract and/or to fulfil my pre-contractual obligations and/or my legitimate interest in processing your inquiry.
 
d) processing of data for contract fulfilment and data management
I process various data within the framework of the provision of my services and for the initiation and processing of the existing contractual relationship between us. If you have commissioned me to provide a service, I process your data (if provided: Name, contact details, phone number, and payment data) and all information that is necessary in the context of fulfilling the services, exclusively for the purpose of processing and handling the contractual relationship. Accordingly, the data is processed on the basis of the contract between you and me as well as to fulfil my legal obligations pursuant to Australia`s commercial law.
 
e) Vimeo and YouTube Videos
We have integrated components from Vimeo and YouTube. The integration requires that Vimeo/YouTube can perceive the IP address of the user. The IP address is required in order to send the video content to the user's browser. If you click on a Vimeo/YouTube component (video) on my website, your internet browser will be prompted by the component to download a corresponding representation of the component. In this way, Vimeo/YouTube knows which specific sub-pages you have visited. The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest and your consent.
 
g) Testimonials
Within the testimonial section, we may display certain Personal Data, share certain details, knowledge and insights. When you approve and/or submit your testimonial, your consent is obtained, and you have choices about the information in your testimonial. The storage of testimonials is based on your consent.
 
f) Use of cookies
I use so-called cookies on my website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your respective device (PC, smartphone, tablet, etc.) and saved by your browser. The legal basis for the use of cookies is your consent as well as my legitimate interest. For further information on the Cookies used on my website, please refer to my Cookie Policy.
 
Advertising
I would like to show you interesting advertising outside of my website and use various third-party tools and cookies for this purpose. These collect and process information about your activities on my website - for example, which pages you visit. By knowing what you are looking for and how you use my website, we can adapt our advertising to your needs. And thus increase the likelihood that you will also be shown suitable and interesting advertising outside my website.
 
We also analyse this data to evaluate the relevance of the advertisements and to optimise the advertisements for you. Through the tools, your browser regularly establishes a connection to the server of the tool provider when you visit my website. For some tools, we have no direct influence on what data is processed by the providers. The following personal data may be processed by third-party providers i) HTTP header information (e.g., IP address, web browser, website URL, date and time); ii) measuring pixel-specific data (e.g., pixel ID and cookie ID); and iii) additional information about visits to my website. The legal bases for processing are our legitimate interest and your consent in case of cookies. For further information, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
 
Marketing
Insofar as you have given me your separate consent to process your data for marketing and advertising purposes, I`m entitled to contact you for these purposes via the communication channels you have given your consent to.
 
You may give me your consent in a number of ways including by selecting a box on a form where I seek your permission to send you marketing information, or sometimes your consent is implied from your interactions or contractual relationship with me. Where your consent is implied, it is on the basis that you would have a reasonable expectation of receiving a marketing communication based on your interactions or contractual relationship with me.
 
Direct Marketing generally takes the form of email but may also include other less traditional or emerging channels. These forms of contact will be managed by me, or by my contracted service providers. Every directly addressed marketing sent or made by me or on my behalf will include a means by which you may unsubscribe or opt out.
 
Transfer of your data to processors and third parties
In order to process your data, I use external service providers such as providers of web analysis tools and IT service providers. These are carefully selected and commissioned by me, are bound by my instructions and are regularly monitored.
 
Duration of storage
I store your Personal Data for as long as necessary to achieve the respective storage purpose. Afterwards, your data will be deleted, unless I am obliged to store it for a longer period of time due to Australia's tax, commercial or other legal storage or documentation obligations, or you have agreed to a storage beyond this period (consent).
 
Data security
I use technical and organisational security measures to ensure that your Personal Data is protected against loss, incorrect modification, misuse, or unauthorised access by third parties. The security measures are constantly adapted to the improved technical possibilities. All data exchanged between your computer or device and my website over the Internet is encrypted. The encryption is done with SSL technology. This is a technology that encrypts all your Personal Data, in such a way that this data cannot be viewed by any unauthorised third party while the data is being transmitted over the Internet. You can recognize the transmission of encrypted data by the display in your browser. Your browser indicates the security of my website by an icon in the form of a padlock or a key in the status bar at the bottom of the window.
 
Disclosure of data
In general, and unless otherwise mentioned in this policy, I will not share your data. However, if I do so I will only pass on your Personal Data to third parties if:
 

• you have given your express consent to this,

• this is legally permissible and necessary for the fulfilment of a contractual relationship with you,

• if there is a legal obligation for the disclosure,

• the disclosure is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, and

• If I commission third parties with the processing of Personal Data, this is done on the basis of a processing agreement.

 
Accuracy
It is important that the data I hold about you is accurate and current, therefore please keep me informed of any changes to your Personal Data.
 
Updating your information
If you believe that the information I hold about you is inaccurate or that I am no longer entitled to use it and want to request its rectification, deletion, or object to its processing, please do so by contacting me. For your protection and the protection of all of the users, I may ask you to provide proof of identity before I can answer your requests.
 
Keep in mind, I may reject requests for certain reasons, including if the request is unlawful or if it may infringe on trade secrets or intellectual property or the privacy of another user. Also, I may not be able to accommodate certain requests to object to the processing of Personal Data, notably where such requests would not allow me to provide my service to you anymore.
 
Access Request
In the event you want to make a Data Subject Access Request, please contact us. We will respond to requests regarding access and correction as soon as reasonably possible. Should we not be able to respond to your request within thirty (30) days, we will tell you why and when we will be able to respond to your request. If we are unable to provide you with any Personal Data or to make a correction requested by you, we will tell you why.

• We do not use Automated decision-making including profiling; and

• We do not sell your Personal Data.

 
Social Media
I maintain online presences on the basis of my legitimate interest and to communicate with users, interested parties and users who are active there. Unless otherwise stated in this policy, I process the data of users if they communicate with me within the social networks and platforms, e.g., write articles on my online presences or send me messages.
Validity and questions
This Privacy Policy was last updated on Sunday, 9th of June, 2024. and is the current and valid version. However, I may update this policy for a number of reasons, such as to reflect a change in the law or to accommodate a change in my business practices and the way we use your Personal Data.
