Privacy

This website is operated by Adriane Morard / adriane.studio, who acts as the data controller for personal information collected through this site.

The short version

I collect minimal information about website visitors and treat any data you share with respect. I don't sell your information, I don't use tracking pixels for advertising, and I keep things as simple and transparent as possible.

What information I collect

When you visit this website:

• Basic technical information like IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited through standard server logs
• Anonymous analytics data to understand how people use the site (using privacy-focused tools that don't track you across the internet)

When you contact me:

• Information you choose to share: name, email address, organization details, and whatever context you provide about your project or inquiry
• Any documents or materials you send as part of our conversation

When we work together:

• Project-related information necessary to deliver the work: organizational context, stakeholder details, strategic materials, and implementation documentation
• Communication records through email, project management tools, or video calls

How I use this information

I use the information you share to:

• Respond to your inquiries and maintain our professional relationship
• Deliver consulting services and strategic work
• Understand how the website is being used so I can improve it
• Occasionally send relevant updates about my work (only if you've expressed interest)

Legal basis for processing (where applicable):

I process personal information based on one or more of the following:

• Your consent (when you contact me or opt into updates)
• Legitimate interests (responding to inquiries, running and improving the website)
• Contractual necessity (delivering agreed consulting services)
• Legal obligations (where required by law)

I don't:

• Sell or rent your information to third parties
• Use your data for advertising or marketing purposes beyond our direct relationship
• Share client details or project information without explicit permission
• Keep information longer than necessary

Tools and services I use

Like most modern businesses, I use third-party tools to run things smoothly:

Website hosting and infrastructure: Standard hosting services that may process technical data to keep the site running securely

Communication and project management: Email services, video conferencing platforms, and project tools where our conversations and files may be stored

Analytics: Privacy-focused analytics to understand website usage without invasive tracking

These services have their own privacy policies and security measures. I choose tools carefully with privacy and security in mind.

How long I keep information

I retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including:

• Ongoing client relationships and project delivery
• Legal, accounting, or contractual obligations
• Legitimate business records

After that, data is securely deleted or anonymized.

Your rights

You have the right to:

• Know what information I have about you
• Request corrections to any information
• Ask me to delete your information (except where I have legitimate business or legal reasons to keep it)
• Object to how your information is being used
• Withdraw consent for communications at any time
• Receive a copy of your data in a portable format (data portability)
• Lodge a complaint with a relevant data protection authority if you believe your rights have been violated

To exercise these rights, just send me an email.

Security

I take reasonable measures to protect the information you share:

• Secure communication channels for sensitive project work
• Limited access to client information (essentially just me, unless I'm working with trusted collaborators on your project)
• Regular backups and security updates
• Confidentiality practices built into how I work

That said, no internet transmission is 100% secure. If you're sharing particularly sensitive information, let's discuss the best way to do that.

Cookies and tracking

This website uses minimal cookies—primarily for essential functions like remembering your preferences and keeping analytics anonymous. I don't use advertising cookies or third-party tracking for marketing purposes.

Where required by law, you'll be asked for consent before any non-essential cookies are used. In many cases, analytics are configured to avoid the need for cookie consent.

International data transfers

Since I work internationally, information might be transferred between countries where I, my clients, or service providers operate. When data is transferred internationally, I rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections to ensure your information remains secure.

Changes to this policy

I may update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in how I work or legal requirements. I'll note the revision date at the top. Significant changes will be communicated to active clients and contacts.

Children's privacy

This website is not intended for children, and I don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16.

Questions or concerns

Privacy should be straightforward, not mysterious. If you have questions about how I handle your information, want to exercise your rights, or just want to discuss privacy practices for your own work, reach out:

This privacy policy is intended to comply with applicable privacy laws, including the GDPR, UK GDPR, and similar regulations where applicable. While I've made it as clear as possible, it's not a substitute for legal advice about your own privacy obligations.
