For more information about Hartmann Studios, please see the "About" section of our Website.
The personal information that we may collect about you broadly falls into the following categories:
We may disclose your personal information to the following categories of recipients:
If you are a visitor from the European Economic Area, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.
However, we will normally collect personal information from you only (i) where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, (ii) where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights, or (iii) where we have your consent to do so. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you.
If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).
If we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), this interest will normally be to operate our business or our Website effectively, to communicate with you to provide our Services to clients, or for our legitimate commercial interests, such as responding to your queries, improving our Services or Website, or to undertake lawful marketing. Where we have other legitimate interests, we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.
If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “How to contact us” heading below.

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information that we collect and process about you. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. When you are asked to provide personal information online, a "secure session" will be established using SSL. This technology encodes information as it is being sent over the internet between your computer and our secure servers. This helps to ensure the information remains secure. You will know when a secure session is taking place and when it is not. Your browser uses a symbol – typically a key – as an indicator. When your session is secure, an unbroken key may appear; when your session is not secure, a broken key symbol may appear. Each time you visit our site, you should see an unbroken key.
Please however keep in mind that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our site is at your own risk. You should only access our website and services within a secure environment.
Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country.
Specifically, our Website servers are located in the USA, and our group companies and third party service providers and partners operate around the world. This means that when we collect your personal information we may process it in any of these countries.
However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice. These include implementing [the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information originating in the European Economic Area (EEA), which require the signatories (such as our group companies, service providers or partners) to protect any EEA personal information they process in accordance with European Union data protection law.
We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Where we collect personal information on our own behalf (and not on behalf of our clients), we will respond directly to requests from individuals seeking to exercise their data protection rights. For example, if you are a resident of the European Economic Area, you have the following data protection rights:
We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Where we process personal information on behalf of our clients as part of the Services we provide to them, we are not the data controller that is primarily responsible for responding to data protection requests. Any individual who seeks to exercise the above rights should direct their query to the client in such cases. For example, if you are an attendee of one of our client's event, you should contact our client directly if you have a concern about your personal information.
We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time in response to changing legal, technical or business developments. When we update our Privacy Notice, we will take appropriate measures to inform you, consistent with the significance of the changes we make. We will obtain your consent to any material Privacy Notice changes if and where this is required by applicable data protection laws.
