Studio Bark Privacy and Cookie Policy
At Studio Bark, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our clients, business partners, visitors to our web site and subscribers to our mailing list. Here you’ll find information on how we treat data that we collect from business communication, visitors to our website, or when someone subscribes to our mailing list.
Who we are
When we use ‘we’ we mean Studio Bark, a trading name of Studio Bark LTD. We can be contacted by telephone at 0207 933 4332 or email info@studiobark.co.uk.
Information we collect and how we use it
We use your personal data for the purposes of fulfilling our contract with you, or because you have made an enquiry or asked us to do something for you.
This information may include your name, phone number, email address, home address and project information.
To enable diversity monitoring we may ask for additional information, including data such as health, sexuality or ethnicity. It is not mandatory that you give this information.
We may also keep CVs and other application details on file.
In relation to a contract we have with you we only share your personal data to other people/organisations who have a direct (legitimate) relevance/ interest in your project. For example when we obtain quotes on your behalf, e.g. for a civil engineer, ecological consultant or an M&E consultant quote. These organisations will all have their own policies on how they deal with personal data.
As part of the registration process for our mailing list, we collect personal information. We use that information for a couple of reasons: to give you updates about Studio Bark; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied.
We use a third party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our mail outs. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice. All email newsletters contain instructions to unsubscribe from the mailing list. You can also contact us at info@studiobark.co.uk to remove your email address from our mailing list at any time. We will never sell or share your personal information to any persons or organisations except when required by law for the investigation of illegal or criminal activities, the exercise of legal rights or in defence against any legal claims, or otherwise.

We have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.
