Privacy policy.

We collect information necessary to provide commercial 3D design, rapid prototyping, and physical manufacturing services:

• Contact & Identification Data: Full name, corporate entity name, job title, email address, phone number, and billing/shipping addresses.
• Project Specifications & Technical Assets: 2D concept sketches, reference photos, CAD files (STEP, STL, OBJ, DXF), tolerance constraints, dimension specifications, and project briefs provided during quote or discovery phases.
• Financial & Transactional Data: Invoicing details, VAT/Tax identification numbers, payment status, milestone records, and wire transaction confirmation identifiers.

• To process milestone invoices, track payments, and maintain statutory financial accounting records.
• To dispatch physical shipments, generate international customs waybills, and provide live carrier tracking numbers.
• To communicate project milestones, share draft 4K render approvals, and provide post-delivery customer support.
• To maintain website security, prevent fraudulent submissions, and optimize our 3D interactive web experiences.

We understand that your 3D models often represent patent-pending hardware inventions, trade secrets, or unreleased consumer products.

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or jurisdictions with comparable privacy frameworks, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

• Contractual Performance: Processing required to fulfill our design, manufacturing, and delivery obligations under a signed project contract or purchase order.

• Legal Compliance: Retaining financial transaction records to comply with statutory taxation, accounting, and export control regulations.
• Consent: Where you have given explicit permission (e.g. subscribing to updates or consenting to feature a completed public case study).

We do not sell personal data. We share information only with trusted infrastructure subprocessors strictly as needed to deliver our services:

• Cloud Infrastructure & Hosting: Vercel (frontend deployment) and Supabase / AWS (encrypted asset storage and databases).

Amirae Studio serves clients worldwide, including in North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. Personal information and project data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence, including India and the United States.

When transferring data cross-border, we ensure appropriate safeguards are implemented, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), encryption in transit and at rest, and adherence to international data protection standards.

We retain personal data and project assets only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy:

• Project CAD Archives: Backed up for 12 months following final milestone delivery to allow clients to request replacement files or follow-up fabrication runs, after which archives may be permanently purged upon written request.
• Financial & Invoicing Records: Retained for 7 years in accordance with statutory accounting and tax compliance requirements.
• General Inquiries: Non-contracted inquiry emails and contact form submissions are periodically cleared after 180 days.

We employ industry-standard technical, organizational, and physical security measures to safeguard your personal data and proprietary 3D files against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, or alteration.

All web data transmissions occur over secure TLS 1.3 encryption. Cloud repositories utilize AES-256 encryption at rest, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and strict role-based least-privilege access controls.

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as GDPR in Europe or CCPA/CPRA in California), you have significant rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Access: Request confirmation of whether we hold your personal data and receive a copy.
