Privacy Policy

This policy explains what personal data Atelier Volume collects when you contact the studio or engage us on a project, how that data is used, and the choices you have.

Last updated 1 August 2026

For legal review. This document contains [Jurisdiction] placeholders that must be completed and verified by qualified counsel before publication.

1. Who we are

Atelier Volume ("the studio", "we", "us") is a spatial design practice. For the purposes of applicable data protection law in [Jurisdiction], the studio acts as the data controller for personal data described in this policy. Enquiries about this policy may be sent to contact@pylorix.online.

2. Data we collect

We collect only what a design engagement requires:

  • Contact data: name, email address, business name and role, provided by you when you write to the studio.
  • Project data: property addresses, existing drawings, surveys, photographs, budget ranges and programme dates you share with us.
  • Engagement records: correspondence, meeting notes, site reports, approvals and invoicing records.
  • Technical data: aggregated, non-identifying information about visits to this website, such as page views and referring source.

We do not knowingly collect special category data, and we ask that you do not send it.

3. Why we process it and on what basis

  • To respond to enquiries and prepare fee proposals — on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating the studio and, where applicable, steps taken prior to entering a contract.
  • To deliver a commissioned project, coordinate consultants and contractors, and administer invoicing — on the basis of contract performance.
  • To keep accounting, tax and insurance records — on the basis of our legal obligations under the laws of [Jurisdiction].
  • To publish completed work, including photography of a delivered space — on the basis of consent recorded in the project agreement, which may be withdrawn.

4. Sharing your data

We share personal data only where a project requires it: with contractors, quantity surveyors, lighting suppliers, joiners and other consultants appointed on your project; with our accountants and insurers; and with hosting, email and file-transfer providers who process data on our instruction under written terms. We do not sell personal data and we do not share it for third-party advertising.

5. International transfers

Some service providers may store data outside [Jurisdiction]. Where that occurs, we rely on transfer mechanisms recognised under the law of [Jurisdiction], such as approved standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision, and we assess the provider's safeguards before use.

6. Retention

Enquiries that do not proceed are deleted within twenty-four months. Project records, including drawings and site reports, are retained for the period required by professional liability and limitation rules in [Jurisdiction], and financial records for the statutory accounting period. Records are then deleted or irreversibly anonymised.

7. Security

Files are held in access-controlled cloud storage with multi-factor authentication, and drawings are shared through link-limited transfers rather than open attachments. Access is restricted to studio members working on your project. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your rights we will notify you and the relevant authority in [Jurisdiction] within the period required by law.

8. Your rights

Subject to the law of [Jurisdiction], you may request access to your personal data, ask us to correct or delete it, object to or restrict processing, withdraw consent for publication, and request a portable copy. Write to contact@pylorix.online. We respond within thirty days. You may also complain to the supervisory authority in [Jurisdiction].

9. Cookies

This website uses only cookies strictly necessary to serve pages and remember display preferences. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are set. Should analytics be introduced, this policy will be updated and consent requested where required in [Jurisdiction].

10. Changes to this policy

We revise this policy when our practices change. The date above records the current version, and material changes are communicated to active clients by email.
