For visitors in the European Economic Area, the legal basis for this processing may include Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where communication is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract.

Where the communication does not relate to contractual measures, processing may be based on the legitimate interests of Flemish Studios in responding to business communications and inquiries pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Where the GDPR applies, this processing is based on the legitimate interests of Flemish Studios in providing a functional, secure and reliable website pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Technical logs are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for operational and security purposes, subject to longer retention where required for the investigation of a security incident or compliance with a legal obligation.


06 — COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Flemish Studios currently does not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, behavioral advertising technologies or similar analytics and marketing tracking tools on this website.

The website may use technologies that are strictly necessary for its technical operation, security, functionality or delivery.

Where access to or storage of information on a visitor’s device is strictly necessary to provide a digital service expressly requested by the visitor, such access or storage may take place without consent as permitted by applicable German law.

If Flemish Studios introduces non-essential analytics, advertising or tracking technologies in the future, this Privacy Policy and, where required, the website’s consent mechanisms will be updated before or in connection with their use.

09 — INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Flemish Studios operates internationally and may communicate or work with clients and service providers located outside Germany or the European Economic Area.

Where personal data protected by the GDPR is transferred to a country outside the European Economic Area, Flemish Studios will use an applicable lawful transfer mechanism where required.

Depending on the recipient and destination, this may include an adequacy decision of the European Commission, appropriate contractual safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, or another mechanism permitted under applicable data-protection law.

The applicable retention period may depend on the nature of the communication, whether a business relationship develops, applicable contractual requirements and statutory retention obligations.

Information connected with contracts, invoices, accounting or other business records may be retained for longer periods where required by German tax, commercial or other applicable law.
