This page explains how Darija Bazdan — Darlingmind Studio handles personal data, uses cookies and similar technologies, and sets the basic conditions for using www.darlingmindstudio.com (the “Website”).

Privacy Policy

1. Who is responsible for your personal data?

The data controller is Darija Bazdan, operating as Darlingmind Studio. For privacy questions or requests, contact: [email protected] .

2. What personal data may be collected?

Depending on how you use the Website and its services, we may collect:

• your name and email address;
• your phone number, if you choose to provide it;
• information you submit through forms, requests, registrations or messages;
• information needed to provide a requested resource, such as the Pattern Starter Kit, or manage webinar registration;
• technical and usage information, such as browser type, device information, IP address and pages visited, where collected through the Website or enabled tools.

3. Why do we use your data?

We may use personal data to:

• send you a resource you requested and manage your registration for a webinar, course or other activity;
• reply to questions and provide customer or technical support;
• send service-related information connected to a resource, event or service you requested;
• send newsletters and commercial or promotional communications where permitted and, when required, with your consent;
• operate, secure and improve the Website and understand its performance;
• meet legal obligations and protect our rights.

4. Legal bases for processing

Depending on the purpose, we process data because you have given consent, because it is needed to take steps you requested or provide a service, because we must comply with a legal obligation, or because we have a legitimate interest that does not override your rights.

5. Marketing communications and unsubscribing

You can stop receiving commercial and promotional communications at any time. Use the unsubscribe link included in the message or contact us at [email protected] . We will stop sending marketing communications as required by law. We may still send essential, non-promotional messages about a resource, event or service you requested, or messages required by law.

6. Service providers

We may use trusted providers to host the Website, manage forms and contact records, deliver emails, run webinars, and provide analytics or other technical services. These providers may process personal data on our behalf and according to our instructions.

The Website may use Action Platform for forms, contact management, email communications and automations. M3 Action Agency may provide technical setup and support for the platform and may access personal data only when needed to provide that support. It does not use that data for its own independent marketing purposes.

7. Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, to meet legal obligations, resolve disputes and maintain required business records. When data is no longer needed, it will be deleted or anonymised where appropriate.

8. International transfers

Some service providers may process data in countries outside the European Economic Area. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by applicable data protection law.

9. Your privacy rights

Subject to the conditions set by applicable law, you may ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, restrict or object to certain processing, receive a portable copy of data, or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before the withdrawal.

You can make a request by emailing [email protected] . You may also lodge a complaint with the data protection authority competent for your place of residence or work.

A deletion request does not require us to erase information that we are legally required or otherwise permitted to retain.

10. Security and external links

We use appropriate measures designed to protect personal data. No online service can guarantee absolute security. The Website may link to third-party websites or services; their privacy practices are governed by their own notices.

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The latest version will be published on this page with its updated date.
