Privacy and Cookie Policy
What does this Policy cover?
The privacy and security of your personal information is important to us at Solis Retouch Studio and we are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Any personal data collected by us will only be processed in accordance with this privacy policy.
This privacy policy sets out how Solis Retouch Studio processes personal data (that is, information by which an individual can be identified) collected by us in the course of our lawful activities, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation and any subsequent legislation in force from time to time (‘the Data Protections laws’). This policy has been put in place to protect your rights under the Data Protection laws, and it is important that you understand what we will do with your data and are happy with this. If you want to discuss any matter relating to how your data is used, please email us at studio@solis-retouch.com, marking your communication for the attention of the Data Protection Officer. We may be required in certain instances to ask that your request for information be submitted in writing.
References to the processing of information includes the collection, use, storage and protection of data. Solis Retouch Studio is the trading name of Alex Solis (an individual entrepreneur registered in Republic of Georgia with registration number 322752286), which is a ‘data controller’ within the meaning of the Data Protections laws for the purposes of this policy, except where stated otherwise where Solis Retouch Studio is a ‘data processor’. This policy extends to those working for and on behalf of Solis Retouch Studio and, to the extent set out below, anyone else processing data on our behalf from time to time.
Why do we process your data?
Organisations are permitted to process data if they have one or more legal bases for doing so. Solis Retouch Studio processes data on the basis that:
  • Express and informed consent has been given by the person whose data is being processed; and/or
  • Solis Retouch Studio has a legitimate interest in processing data; and/or
  • It is necessary in relation to a contract, agreement or ongoing arrangement for the provision of services which someone has entered into with Solis Retouch Studio or because someone has asked for something to be done so they can enter into a contract, agreement or arrangement with us; and/or
  • Solis Retouch Studio has a legal obligation to process data.

If and to the extent that Solis Retouch Studio is relying on solely consent as the basis for processing data, we are required to obtain your explicit consent and you can modify or withdraw this consent at any time by notifying us in writing, although this may affect the extent to which Solis Retouch Studio is able to provide services to or interact with you in future.
We may change this policy from time to time and any such changes will be published online at www.solis-retouch.com. Notwithstanding any change to this policy, we will continue to process your personal data in accordance with your rights and our obligations in law.
This policy is effective from 17 April 2023.
What personal data do we process?
How do we use your data?
We collect the data necessary for Solis Retouch Studio to pursue its legitimate commercial objectives as a post-production studio including, in that connection, maintaining a working archive for ongoing reference by clients and to promote our business to past, current and future potential clients and others. Data collected and processed may include, but not be limited to:
  • Names and contact information such as telephone numbers, email and postal addresses for staff, consultants, contractors and clients
  • Photographic images and other information as allows the creators, copyright owners and subjects of such images to be identified for Solis Retouch Studio’s commercial purposes
  • Records and preferences for and of staff, consultants, contractors and clients including, where necessary, bank or payment details in order to process payments to or from such persons and information about their tax status for the payment of remuneration
  • Such other information as is relevant and necessary for Solis Retouch Studio to carry out its activities and legal obligations.

Such information may be collected when you provide it directly or indirectly to us by contacting us through our website or otherwise, or when information about you is disclosed to us by a third party. In such cases, Solis Retouch Studio is a data processor acting on behalf of that third party as a data controller and we only process such data on the understanding that those disclosing it to us have the requisite legal authority to do so and have informed data subjects of their legal rights.
We process your personal data in order to pursue our legitimate commercial objectives, as stated above, and in particular for the following purposes:
  • For internal record keeping, staff and client management, receiving and making payments, invoicing, communications and administration
  • To maintain records of the work undertaken for clients and an archive of photographic images for future reference and marketing purposes
  • To let you know about such other matters as pertain directly or indirectly to Solis Retouch Studio’s business as we believe may be of interest to you
  • To manage and improve our operations and communications with clients and to secure new business
  • To comply with any legal obligations and to protect parties’ interests in cases of dispute

If you or someone acting on your behalf shares personal data relating to another person, such as photographic images, you warrant that you have the legal authority to share such data with us and have informed such person(s) that their data is being shared and about our privacy policy. In such cases, the data shared will not be used for any purposes other than those referred to in this policy or retained for longer than such purposes require.
Data processed will be retained only for as long as is reasonable and permissible in law. Accordingly, the periods for which we retain data will vary depending on the purposes for which it was collected and relevant statutory or other requirements.
In addition to those circumstances mentioned above, we will only share data with trusted partners and third parties (including those outside of the European Economic Area) to the extent and where necessary for us to engage in the activities referred to above (such for database and client management, online platforms for secure data storage or for email communications), to process payments (including through online payments platforms) and only once we are satisfied that any such use of data will accord with our privacy policy. We will not sell your personal information and will not share it without your explicit consent, except as stated above.
Your rights in relation to your personal data
Your rights in relation to your personal data
You, as the data subject, may request deletion of your data at any time in writing, subject to any overriding legal requirement for its retention, such as the need, where appropriate, to comply with the requirements of regulatory authorities, or to prevent the commission of or assist in the investigation of an actual or suspected criminal offence, safeguarding incident or civil proceedings. We may keep certain data on a ‘suppression list’ so we know, if requested, not to contact you or process your data in future until further notice.
You may request details of personal information which we hold about you. Any such request must be submitted in writing and we reserve the right to seek verification of the identity of persons making such requests before we respond, which we much do within 30 days. A small fee may be payable if an information request is particularly onerous.
You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information, but this may impact or limit the way in which we are able to interact with you. You may, at any time, change your mind about what information we hold about you, or if we continue to hold it at all, subject to any legal obligation on us to retain data, and as stated above.
You are responsible for the accuracy of data you have provided to Solis Retouch Studio. If you believe that any information we are holding about you or someone else is incorrect or incomplete, please write to us as soon as possible. We will promptly correct any information found to be incorrect.
In the unlikely event that there is any kind of a breach of our duties and obligations under this policy or the Data Protections laws, we will take immediate steps to isolate and rectify the problem. Should the breach be serious one (where there is a risk of, for example, discrimination, damage to reputation, financial loss or loss of confidential information) we have a duty to report that matter to the individuals affected and to the Office of the Information Commissioner.
Security
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. To prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the data we process. Persons processing data for or on behalf of Solis Retouch Studio do so in accordance with this policy and on the basis that Solis Retouch Studio is satisfied that they can and will adhere to our high standards for data protection and security.
The transmission of information over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet. Please note that, unless encrypted, email messages sent via the internet may not be secure and could be intercepted and read by someone else. Please bear this in mind when deciding whether to include personal or sensitive information in any email messages you send to us.
