Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Meridian Studio (“Meridian”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit this website or contact us. We are the data controller for the information described below.

Information we collect

• Information you give us. When you use the enquiry form we collect your name, email address, the project location you enter, and the contents of your message.
• Technical information. Like most websites, our servers may log your IP address, browser type, device, referring page and the dates and times of your visits.
• Cookies. We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies. See our Cookie Policy for details.

How we use your information

• To respond to your enquiry and correspond with you about a possible project.
• To operate, secure and improve the website.
• To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

Legal basis

Where the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation or the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection applies, we process your information on the basis of your consent, our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries and running the site, and, where relevant, to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with trusted service providers who help us operate the website and respond to enquiries (for example hosting and email providers), and with authorities where required by law. These providers act on our instructions under appropriate agreements.

International transfers

Meridian operates from Geneva and Kyoto, and our providers may process data in other countries. Where information is transferred internationally, we use appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

Retention

We keep enquiry correspondence for as long as needed to deal with your request and for a reasonable period afterwards, then delete or anonymise it. Technical logs are kept for a short period for security and diagnostics.

Your rights

• Access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction of inaccurate information.
• Deletion of your information in certain circumstances.
• Restriction of, or objection to, certain processing.
• Portability of information you provided to us.
• Withdrawal of consent at any time, and the right to complain to a supervisory authority.
