Purpose and lawful basis

Information is used to respond to enquiries, assess fit, scope and timing, establish and administer an engagement, deliver agreed work, maintain necessary records, protect the site and comply with legal obligations.

Depending on the circumstances, processing is based on steps requested before a contract, performance of a contract, legitimate interests, consent or a legal obligation.

Submitted material

Submitted files and contextual information are reviewed only to assess the request and, where an engagement is accepted, to perform the agreed examination.

Material is not published, displayed publicly or used as a case study without written permission, except where disclosure is required by law.

Limited purpose · No public use without permission
04

Confidentiality and security

Access to personal information and submitted material is limited to what is reasonably necessary for intake, administration and delivery of the agreed work.

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect information. No method of internet transmission or digital storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Restricted access · Reasonable safeguards
05

Service providers

Service providers may process information where necessary for website hosting, form delivery, file handling, email, payment, security, administration or analytics where those functions are enabled.

This may include Squarespace and other providers used to operate the site and deliver accepted engagements. Information is shared only where reasonably necessary for the relevant function.

Subscription to news and updates is optional. Marketing communication is sent only where the relevant permission has been given.

Consent may be withdrawn at any time by using the unsubscribe option provided in a message or by contacting DÉPHASAGE.

07

Retention

Personal information and submitted material are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which they were received and for any related legal, accounting, security or dispute-resolution requirements.

The retention period depends on whether an enquiry progresses, whether an engagement is accepted or remains active, whether financial or contractual records must be maintained and whether a request, complaint or dispute remains unresolved. Information is deleted or securely disposed of when it is no longer reasonably required.

Defined purpose · Necessary period · Secure disposal

Cookies and site functions

The site may use essential cookies and similar technologies required for security, navigation, form submission and core website functions.

Where optional analytics, marketing or comparable technologies are enabled, information and choices will be presented through the applicable cookie settings. Where consent is required, those technologies will not be activated before consent is given.

Where this constitutes a restricted international transfer, DÉPHASAGE will rely on an applicable UK adequacy regulation, appropriate contractual safeguards or another transfer mechanism permitted by data protection law.
