Privacy Policy
WHO WE ARE
Studio Amal is an interior design studio based in Hong Kong. We follow the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) of Hong Kong.
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW
We collect information in two ways. First, you give it to us directly when you fill out our contact form, email us, message us on WhatsApp, or book a consultation. This includes your name, email address, phone number, project details, budget, and property location. Second, we collect technical information automatically when you browse our website, such as your IP address, browser type, and which pages you visit. We do this using cookies.
WHY WE COLLECT INFORMATION
We use your information to respond to your inquiries, book consultations, understand your project needs, provide interior design services, process payments, manage ongoing projects, improve our website, and communicate with you about your project. We also keep certain records to comply with Hong Kong law, such as tax requirements.
HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES
We do not sell or rent your personal data. We only share it when necessary. This includes sharing with payment processors like Stripe or PayPal to handle transactions, with Wix to host our website, with email and calendar services to manage communications, and with legal or government authorities if required by Hong Kong law. All third parties are required to respect your privacy.
HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR DATA
We keep your personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by Hong Kong law. For example, tax records are typically kept for seven years.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR DATA
We take reasonable steps to protect your data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. This includes secure website hosting, limiting access to your data within our studio, and regularly reviewing our practices. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
COOKIES
Our website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and analyse how visitors use our site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of our site may not work properly if you do.
YOUR RIGHTS
Under Hong Kong's privacy law, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to correct any inaccurate information, to withdraw your consent for communications at any time, and to request deletion of your data where legally allowed. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
MINORS
Our website and services are not intended for anyone under 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we learn that we have collected data from a minor without parental consent, we will delete it promptly.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review it periodically.
