Privacy Policy

Introduction

At The Scarab Studio, accessible from https://www.thescarabstudio.com/, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains information collected and recorded by The Scarab Studio and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us at info@thescarabstudio.com

This Privacy Policy applies only to our online activities. It is valid for visitors to our website regarding the information they share and/or collect in The Scarab Studio. This policy is not applicable to any information collected offline or via channels other than this website. 

Consent

By using our website you agree to this Privacy Policy. Cookies are separate: analytics and advertising cookies are only used after you choose to allow them, and you can change that choice at any time using the Manage Cookies link in the footer.

Information we collect

The personal information you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information.

If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you, such as your name, email address, phone number, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may provide.

When you register for an Account, we may ask for your contact information, including items such as name, company name, address, email address, and telephone number.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect in various ways, including:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain our website

  • Improve, personalize, and expand our website

  • Understand and analyze how you use our website

  • Develop new products, services, features, and functionality

  • Communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, including for customer service, to provide you with updates and other information relating to the website and for marketing and promotional purposes

  • Send you emails

  • Find and prevent fraud

Log Files

The Scarab Studio follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this and are a part of hosting services' analytics. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any personally identifiable information. The purpose of the information is to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement on the website, and gather demographic information.

Cookies and Web Beacons

A cookie is a small file a website stores on your device. We use them for three purposes, and you control each one separately.

Strictly necessary: these make the site work — page delivery, security, and remembering the cookie choice you make. They cannot be switched off and we do not ask consent for them.

Analytics: Google Analytics 4, which tells us how many people visit, which pages they read, and how they arrived. It is not used to identify you personally.

Advertising: Google Ads, Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and LinkedIn. These measure whether our campaigns work and let us show relevant ads to people who have visited the site.

Functionality: remembers preferences such as language.

How to choose, and how to change your mind: when you first visit, a banner asks you to accept everything, reject everything, or choose category by category. Your choice is stored on your own device and applied on every later visit. You can change it at any time using the Manage Cookies link at the bottom of any page.

What happens when you decline: we use Google Consent Mode v2 and Meta’s consent API. No analytics or advertising cookies are placed on your device, Google tags send only anonymous cookieless signals with no identifiers, and the Meta pixel and LinkedIn Insight Tag do not fire at all.

Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland: analytics and advertising are denied by default and stay denied unless you actively allow them. Elsewhere they are allowed by default, and we honour a decline immediately and permanently on your device.

The third parties involved are Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads (policies.google.com/privacy), Meta (facebook.com/privacy/policy), LinkedIn (linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy), Mailchimp for our newsletter (intuit.com/privacy/statement) and Squarespace, who host this website (squarespace.com/privacy). We do not sell personal information.
