Privacy Policy

Updated 2026-01-01

This Privacy Policy explains how Mergari ("we", "our", "us") collects, uses, and safeguards personal data when individuals interact with our website, materials, and services. It is intended for visitors and clients located in the United Kingdom and is written to reflect key principles of UK data protection law. We encourage you to read it carefully to understand our practices and your choices.

Data categories collected. We may collect identifiers and contact details (such as name, business role, email address, and telephone number), project information you choose to share, and technical data related to device, browser, and on-site interactions. Technical data may include IP address, timestamps, pages visited, referrer, and approximate location derived from IP. We also use cookies and similar technologies to support site functionality and analytics.

Lawful bases. We rely on one or more of the following grounds: consent (for analytics or communications where required), contract (to review briefs and deliver requested work), and legitimate interests (to maintain security, improve content, and measure performance in ways that respect your rights and expectations). Where consent is the applicable basis, you can withdraw it at any time through available controls.

Uses of data. We use personal data to: respond to inquiries; scope and deliver design services; manage billing where relevant; operate and secure our website; and understand aggregate engagement with content. We do not sell personal data. We share data with service providers that support hosting, analytics, and communications. These providers are selected with due care and are bound by appropriate terms.

Retention. We retain personal data for periods aligned with the purpose of collection, applicable limitation periods, and regulatory guidance. Criteria include project lifecycle, financial recordkeeping requirements, and the need to demonstrate how we managed queries or feedback. When data is *** longer required, we aim to delete or de-identify it.

International transfers. If data is processed outside the UK, we implement suitable safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent measures, to protect personal data in line with UK requirements.

Security. We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect data, including access controls, encryption in transit, and prudent vendor management. While security risks can be reduced with such measures, absolute protection cannot be guaranteed in any environment connected to the internet.

Your rights. Depending on circumstances, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to certain processing, as well as data portability for information you provided. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). We will respond to rights requests in accordance with applicable law.
