Privacy Policy

Last updated April 13, 2025


At Bureau Lia, we care about what matters, and that includes your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to our Website (a graphic design portfolio) and explains how we may collect, use, store, or share information when you browse, interact, or contact us. Whether you’re browsing quietly or reaching out, we want you to feel safe and respected.

We only collect what’s necessary to understand how the site is used, improve what we do, and communicate with you meaningfully, never more. We do not sell your data, track you for advertising, or use your information in ways that go against the trust you place in us.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We may collect:
◆ Your name and email, if you contact us
◆ Anonymous usage data (like your browser or country), to understand how people use the site and make it better

We do not collect any sensitive data (such as health, religion, or political beliefs), and we do not use your personal information for advertising purposes.

We also don’t buy data or pull it from third-party sources. Everything comes directly from your voluntary interaction.



2. COOKIES & ANALYTICS

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors engage with our Website, such as which pages are viewed, how long users stay, and which regions they visit from. This helps us improve functionality, design, and content relevance over time.

Cookies may be used to support this. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser at the request of a website. They allow the site to remember certain information between visits, such as your cookie preferences, and to help us understand general browsing behaviour in an anonymised way.

You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings or the cookie banner shown when you first visit the site.

We do not use cookies for advertising, profiling, or any form of automated decision-making.



3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use your information only when necessary, to:
  • Respond to your messages or requests
  • Understand and improve how the Website performs
  • Maintain the security and functionality of the site

We don’t use your data for advertising, profiling, or automated decision-making.



4. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

Depending on your location, we may process your data under one or more of the following legal grounds:
  • Your consent, when you choose to contact us
  • Our legitimate interests, like improving the site or replying to inquiries
  • Legal obligations, where applicable

We respect your rights and will always do our best to support them.



5. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, typically:
  • Until we’ve responded to your inquiry
  • For short-term analytics purposes (in anonymized or aggregated form)

We delete data when it’s no longer useful, relevant, or legally required.



6. YOUR RIGHTS

You have rights regarding your personal data, which may include:
  • Accessing or correcting your personal information
  • Requesting deletion
  • Withdrawing consent at any time
  • Requesting information about how your data is used

If you'd like to make a request, simply write to us at the contact address below. We’ll do our best to support your rights promptly.



7. DATA SECURITY

We take data protection seriously. While Bureau Lia doesn’t process large volumes of personal data, we still apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to help keep your information safe. This includes:
  • Using secure, password-protected email and devices
  • Accessing data only when necessary and never sharing it with unauthorised third parties
  • Hosting the Website through a reputable platform (Cargo) that provides its own layers of infrastructure and security

Please keep in mind that no digital system is completely immune to risks. If you're ever unsure, we recommend not sharing sensitive information (e.g. financial or medical details) via contact forms or email.

If we ever become aware of a data breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you and any relevant authorities as required by law.



8. INTERNATIONAL USERS

This Website is accessible from around the world. If you’re visiting from outside Australia, please know that your data may be processed in accordance with Australian privacy principles or French data protection rules, depending on context.

We always aim to comply with applicable regulations, including the GDPR (EU), Privacy Act 1988 (Australia), and other relevant frameworks.

By using this Website, you acknowledge and agree that your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside your own, where data protection laws may differ.



9. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

This Website and its content are not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect, use, or store personal data from anyone under 16 years old. If you’re a parent or guardian and believe your child may have provided personal information to us, please contact us immediately and we’ll take steps to remove that data from our systems as soon as possible.

If we ever expand the Website’s functionality (such as opening comments or newsletter subscriptions), appropriate age-related safeguards will be added in line with data protection laws like the GDPR or Australia’s Privacy Act.



10. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the Website, design tools, legal obligations, or how we work with data. When we do, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.

If the updates are significant, we may include a short notice on the Website homepage. We encourage visitors to check this page regularly to stay informed. Your continued use of the Website will be considered as acceptance of any changes made.

If you have questions or feedback about anything you read here, don’t hesitate to reach out.
