Privacy Policy

Welcome to www.ssfd.studio (the "Website"), operated by Stefan Stoychev ("Provider", "we", "us"). This policy explains how we process personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and applicable data-protection laws.

• Controller: Stefan Stoychev
• E-mail: office@ssfd.studio
• Scope: This policy applies to all visitors globally who access our font showcase and tools.

We collect data to provide a polished font testing experience and to communicate with our audience:

• Information You Provide Directly:
  • Inquiries: When you contact us via email, we collect your email address and any content within your message (e.g., name, professional details)
  • Newsletters: If you opt-in to our mailing list, we collect your email address to send updates and offers.
• Information Collected Automatically:
  • Technical Logs: IP address, device type, operating system, and browser version
  • Analytics Data: If you accept analytics, Google Analytics processes information such as pages viewed, visit and interaction information, approximate location, and device and browser information.
• Data from Third Parties: In rare cases of suspected intellectual property infringement, we may collect data from public registers or private sources for legal protection.

We process your data based on the following legal grounds:

• Consent: For Google Analytics and newsletter subscriptions. You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate Interests: To respond to inquiries, maintain security, and protect our intellectual property.
• Legal Obligation: To comply with accounting, tax, or regulatory requirements.

The Website is deployed using Vercel. If you accept analytics, Google Analytics processes analytics data on our behalf. Communication and newsletter providers may also process data outside the European Economic Area. Where required, transfers rely on an applicable adequacy decision, including the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, or safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

We implement robust technical measures to safeguard your information:

• Encryption: Use of SSL/TLS for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
• Subset Fonts: We use demo/subset font files for web previews to protect our full commercial assets while providing a functional tester.
• Access Control: Only authorized personnel (e.g., the Provider or their accountant) have access to specific data sets.

• Inquiries: Retained for the duration needed to resolve your request plus one calendar year.
• Newsletters: Retained until you withdraw your consent (unsubscribe).
• Analytics: Google Analytics cookies may remain for up to two years unless you withdraw consent or delete them sooner. User-level and event-level data is retained according to the retention period configured in the Google Analytics property.
• Legal Documents: Accounting and tax-related data are kept for the period required by Bulgarian law.

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights:

• Access & Rectification: Request a copy of your data or correct errors.
• Erasure: Request the deletion of your personal data ("Right to be Forgotten").
• Restriction & Portability: Request a limit on processing or receive your data in a portable format.
• Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.
• Complaint: The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (e.g., CPDP in Bulgaria).

To exercise your rights, please email office@ssfd.studio

Google Analytics is optional and does not load until you give consent through our cookie banner. You can reject analytics without losing access to the Website. To reset a saved choice later, delete this Website's cookies in your browser and reload the page. For cookie names, purposes, and durations, see our Cookies Policy.

Our Website features links to Behance, Instagram, LinkedIn, and MyFonts. We do not control their privacy practices and encourage you to review their respective policies.

We reserve the right to update this policy at any time to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top of the page will indicate the latest revision.
