This privacy policy explains how Liabri Studios ("we", "us", "our") collects and uses your personal data when you visit liabristudios.com or interact with us. We take your privacy seriously and only collect the information we genuinely need.

You can reach us through the contact form on our website for any privacy-related questions.
What personal data we collect
We only collect information when you choose to give it to us. Specifically:
- Newsletter signup. When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address (and your name if you choose to provide it) so we can send you the updates you have asked for.
- Contact form. When you send us a message via the contact form, we collect your name, email address and the message itself so we can reply to you.
- Analytics (if you consent). If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics records anonymised information about your visit, such as pages viewed, country, device type and approximate visit duration. This data does not personally identify you.
We do not collect special category data, payment information (purchases happen on Amazon and other retailers, not on this site), or data about children under 13.
Lawful basis for processing
Under UK GDPR, we rely on the following lawful bases:
- Consent for the newsletter and analytics cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Legitimate interest for responding to enquiries you send via the contact form.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your data. We use a small number of trusted third party services to operate the site:
- MailerLite hosts our newsletter and stores subscriber email addresses on our behalf. See the MailerLite privacy policy.
- Formspree receives and forwards contact form submissions to us by email. See the Formspree privacy policy.
- Google Analytics provides anonymised visitor statistics if you accept analytics cookies. See the Google privacy policy.
- Vercel hosts this website and processes basic technical request logs as part of normal site hosting. See the Vercel privacy policy.
International transfers
Some of our processors are based outside the UK. Where personal data is transferred internationally, it is protected by appropriate safeguards such as the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, in line with UK GDPR.
How long we keep your data
- Newsletter subscribers: until you unsubscribe. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send.
- Contact form messages: for up to two years after our last interaction, then deleted.
- Analytics data: retained by Google Analytics for up to 14 months.

- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Have it corrected if it is wrong
- Have it deleted ("right to be forgotten")
- Restrict or object to our processing
- Receive your data in a portable format
