Legal Basis for Processing
MUZA LAB LTD processes your personal data in accordance with applicable UK data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Depending on the context, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:
- Consent: When you voluntarily provide your information (for example, by sending a message via our contact form), you consent to us using that data to respond and manage your request. You may withdraw your consent at any time.
- Performance of a contract: When processing is necessary to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract or to perform an existing contract for creative services or project work.
- Legitimate interests: When processing is necessary for our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and developing our studio, website, and services, provided that these interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
- Legal obligations: When processing is required for us to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, such as record-keeping or responding to lawful requests by public authorities.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or unauthorised access. These measures are proportionate to the nature of the data and the risks associated with processing.
While we take reasonable steps to secure your information and work only with partners who uphold similar standards, no online transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have particular concerns about how your information is stored or transmitted, please contact us using the details in the Contact Information section below.
International Data Transfers
MUZA LAB LTD is based in the United Kingdom. In some cases, your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries outside the United Kingdom where our service providers or partners are located.
When such international transfers occur, we take steps to ensure that your data is afforded an equivalent level of protection as in the UK. This may include the use of recognised safeguards such as:
- UK-approved standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms.
- Transfers to countries that have been recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection.
- Contractual, technical, and organisational measures that help preserve the confidentiality and security of your information.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or to meet legal, accounting, or reporting obligations.
In practice, retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the data and our relationship with you. For example:
- Enquiry and correspondence records are typically kept while we are in active communication and for a reasonable period afterwards to manage follow-ups.
- Project-related records (such as briefs, agreements, and key communications) may be stored for longer periods where required for contractual, professional, or legal reasons.
When personal data is no longer required, it is deleted or anonymised in a secure manner wherever reasonably possible.
Your Privacy Rights
Under UK data protection law, you have a number of rights in relation to the personal information we hold about you. Subject to certain conditions and exemptions, these rights may include:
- Right of access: to request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and to receive a copy of that data.
- Right to rectification: to ask us to correct or complete inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Right to erasure: to request the deletion of your personal data, where there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing it.
- Right to restrict processing: to ask us to limit the way we use your information in certain circumstances.
- Right to object: to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, on grounds relating to your particular situation.
- Right to data portability: in some cases, to receive your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to have it transmitted to another controller.
- Right to withdraw consent: where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
To exercise any of these rights, or to raise a concern about how your personal data is handled, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you are unhappy with how we handle your personal data. Further information is available on the ICO website.
