PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: March 4, 2026 — Last Updated: March 4, 2026

At ROYCE Studio ("ROYCE", "we", "our", or "us"), privacy is not a procedural obligation — it is a standard of conduct.

As a registered company operating under the laws of the Republic of Moldova, we are committed to protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and security of the information entrusted to us. Our work frequently involves pre-release visual content, intellectual property, brand strategy, and sensitive creative assets. Discretion is therefore not optional — it is foundational.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, and protect personal information when you visit our website, communicate with us, or engage ROYCE Studio under a contractual relationship.

By interacting with our website or services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

ROYCE Studio is officially registered in the Republic of Moldova and operates in compliance with applicable national legislation and relevant international data protection standards where applicable.

All contractual services are delivered exclusively under formal agreements and invoiced accordingly. We do not process online payments through the website.

We collect only information that is necessary to conduct legitimate business operations with clarity and professionalism.

3.1 Information Provided Directly — When you contact us, request a proposal, enter into a contract, or submit materials, we may collect: full name, company name, email address, phone number, billing and invoicing details, contractual documentation, project briefs and creative materials, and any information voluntarily submitted via contact forms or direct email communication.

3.2 Recruitment-Related Information — If you submit a CV, portfolio, showreel, or other application materials, we may collect: professional experience, educational background, portfolio links, contact details, and any information you choose to disclose in your application. Such information will be used strictly for recruitment evaluation purposes.

3.3 Automatically Collected Information — Our website may collect limited technical data automatically, including: IP address, browser type, device information, pages accessed, and basic server logs. At this time, ROYCE Studio does not use Google Analytics or third-party behavioral tracking tools. Any automatically collected information is used solely for operational stability, security, and basic performance monitoring.

We process personal information for the following legitimate purposes:

Responding to inquiries and business proposals. Negotiating and executing service contracts. Delivering CGI, animation, VFX, and related creative services. Issuing invoices and maintaining financial records. Evaluating recruitment submissions. Protecting our digital infrastructure. Complying with legal and regulatory obligations.

We do not sell, trade, rent, or commercially exploit personal data.

ROYCE Studio frequently handles: pre-launch product visuals, commercial campaign materials, NDA-protected projects, brand-sensitive intellectual property, and unreleased digital assets.

We apply strict internal access controls and professional-grade digital security practices to safeguard all client materials.

Where required, separate Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) govern specific projects. Our confidentiality standards extend beyond contractual obligation — they reflect our operational philosophy.

Where applicable under European data protection principles, including GDPR-aligned frameworks, we process personal data based on:

Performance of a contract. Legitimate business interests. Legal obligations. Explicit consent (for recruitment submissions or direct inquiries).

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to: fulfill contractual obligations, maintain accounting and financial compliance, resolve potential disputes, and evaluate recruitment submissions.

Recruitment materials may be retained for a reasonable period unless deletion is requested.

When information is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect information against: unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, and accidental loss.

Security measures include controlled access systems, secure hosting environments, contractual confidentiality obligations, and professional digital workflows.

However, while we apply industry-standard protection measures, no system can guarantee absolute security.

We may share limited information strictly when necessary with: accounting professionals, legal advisors, hosting providers, and government authorities when legally required.

All third-party service providers are expected to uphold strict confidentiality and data protection standards.

We do not engage in data brokerage or advertising-based data monetization.

As a studio working with international clients, certain communications or project data may involve cross-border exchanges. Such transfers are conducted in compliance with applicable legal standards and only when necessary for project execution.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

Request access to your personal data. Request correction of inaccurate data. Request deletion of your data. Restrict or object to processing. Withdraw consent (where processing is consent-based).
