KIWA — Digital Studio

Privacy

Last updated 2 July 2026 · kiwastudio.com

This notice explains what personal data Kiwa Digital Studio ("Kiwa", "we") collects through kiwastudio.com, why, and the choices you have. We keep data collection to the minimum: the site sets nothing by default, and usage analytics runs only if you accept on the cookie banner. Beyond that, the only way the site collects personal data is when you choose to email us.

Who we are

Kiwa Digital Studio is a digital studio based in Malta, working worldwide. For any privacy question, or to exercise your rights, email admin@kiwastudio.com. We are the data controller for the information described here.

What we collect

• When you contact us — if you email us (for example via the hello@kiwastudio.com links on the site), we receive what you choose to share: your name, email address and message. We use it only to reply and, if we go on to work together, to deliver the work.
• Hosting & technical logs — the site is hosted on GitHub Pages. To deliver and protect the site, GitHub may process standard technical request data (such as your IP address and browser type) as our hosting provider. We do not use this data to identify or profile you.
• Usage analytics — only after you accept on the cookie banner, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand, in aggregate, how the site is used (pages viewed, rough location, device, referring source). Nothing is collected until you accept, and we have configured it not to receive directly identifying information.

Legal basis (GDPR)

• Consent — for analytics cookies. Opt-in only; you can withdraw at any time (see "Your rights & choices").
• Legitimate interest / steps toward a contract — for responding to enquiries you send us, and for the secure, reliable hosting of the site.

Cookies, analytics & tracking

By default kiwastudio.com sets no cookies. If you accept on the banner, Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (_ga, _ga_*) to measure usage in aggregate. If you decline — or simply ignore the banner — none are set and nothing loads. Your choice is remembered in your browser. We do not use advertising cookies and we do not track you across other websites. This privacy page itself loads no scripts at all.

Who we share data with

We don't sell your data. Email you send us is held in our Google Workspace mailbox. The site itself is served by GitHub Pages. Analytics data, when you have accepted it, is processed by Google under the Google Analytics Data Processing Terms. These providers act as our processors and may process data outside the European Economic Area under appropriate safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses). We do not share your data with anyone else.

How long we keep it

Enquiry emails are kept as long as needed to respond and for our legitimate business records, after which they are deleted — or sooner if you ask us to remove them. Analytics data is retained for a limited period set in Google Analytics (14 months), in aggregate.

Your rights & choices

• Change your cookie choice — clear this site's cookies and site data in your browser, then reload; the banner will ask again.
• Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or port your personal data. To exercise any of these, email admin@kiwastudio.com.
• You may also lodge a complaint with the Maltese supervisory authority (the IDPC).

Changes

If this notice changes, we'll update this page and the date above.
