OUR PRIVACY POLICY

We’re an animation studio, so what information do we collect?
Well, a fair bit, but we only use it to talk to you. If you email us to enquire about an animation you’d like to make, if you look on our website from your computer or phone, if you comment on one of our social media channels, if you invoice us for creative produced, all that information is with us in the eyes of data laws, even if you call and leave your phone number.

YOUR INFORMATION
While working with you on projects, there will be an exchange of data between us that may include us recording your name, job title and contact details. We will also store company financial details you supply to us on our financial system for the purposes of invoicing. This information is necessary for good communication in active projects and for reference when working on future projects to make sure there is continuity and we are not asking you the same questions again.
This information stays within the Kilogramme team and is used for no other purpose than to communicate with you about your project, future projects or to contact you with new ideas. If we believe there is mutual benefit in third parties we know, knowing you, we would seek your permission before making an introduction.
Once we have talked with you regarding development or potential work, we will then keep your data on record to inform you about other projects we are working on that may be relevant to you, if we think you would be legitimated interest in those services.
We store information about all freelancers and suppliers of Kilogramme in order to communicate about current and future projects and for the purposes of paying those freelancers and suppliers for their beautiful work. This includes financial details as well as contact information.
All records are digital only, we are primarily a paperless company.
BRIEFS AND COMPANY INFORMATION
When working on projects we are sent briefs and often company information, which may be subject to non-disclosure agreements (NDA). Any information sent to us as part of an enquiry which does not become an active job will not be stored. Briefs and company information received on active jobs that are not subject to an individual NDA are then subject to Kilogramme process and will be kept on the servers for the duration of the project and for 6 years afterwards, unless we are otherwise instructed to destroy it. The purpose of retaining the briefs is to ensure continuity of service on future projects.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Our social media channels are controlled by Twitter, Facebook/Instagram, Google, LinkedIn, and Tumblr and operate under their respective privacy policies.
