What type of information do we have

The information collected will play a crucial role in fulfilling the client’s expectations with efficiency and accuracy. It is essential to ensure that all necessary details are provided, as any missing information could lead to significant delays in the completion of the service. Furthermore, gaps in information increase the risk of mistakes in the client’s order, potentially resulting in unsatisfactory outcomes. By gathering complete and precise information upfront, we aim to streamline the process and ensure that the client’s needs are met promptly and correctly.

How do we get the information, and why do we have the information

Studio 74 Design Ltd requires specific information from clients who wish to proceed with our design services. It is essential that this information is accurate and that the design concepts are original and not copied from any other company or organisation.

Clients can submit their information through various channels, including email, our website, social media, telephone, in person, or through a recommended party.

We use this information to create the design requested by the client. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that the information they provide is accurate. The information will be used solely for internal purposes to fulfil the client’s requirements and will not be shared or promoted without the client’s written consent.

Once the design work is completed, it will be returned to the client, who will then be responsible for making it public to their clients, contacts, staff, and suppliers.

Cookies

The website uses cookies to monitor and track the performance of what clients are looking for. These cookies do not collect any personal information, but they do track the pages you visit and whether you repeatedly visit the same page. They help us to identify whether the website is user-friendly and highlight areas for improvement, both overall and on specific web pages.

How do we store the information?

Studio74 Design Ltd has implemented a secure system to store client information, including electronic encrypted files in the cloud or paper documents locked away. However, we endeavour to minimise paper use in the office and encourage electronic notes instead.

All information stored will be valid for a specific timeframe, and then it will be required to be deleted. The other information that will remain will be the invoices, as we are expected to store them for 7 years, which is required by HMRC. However, if the information has been used for any legal evidence, then we will need to store the information for longer.
