Privacy notice
Design Next is run by Sohail Hatim. Here’s how we handle information when you visit designnext.studio, get in touch or book a meeting.
Enquiries and conversations
When you get in touch, we receive the details you share, including your name, contact details and project information. We use these to reply, discuss your project and manage our work together. Please leave sensitive personal information out of your first enquiry.
We use Google Workspace for email. Messages sent to [email protected] arrive in our business Gmail inbox. Google processes these messages for delivery and storage. See the Google privacy policy.
Meeting bookings
Our booking links take you to Cal.com. When you book, we receive your name, email address, meeting time and any answers you give to booking questions. We use these to arrange the meeting and follow up on your enquiry.
Cal.com handles your booking information on its website. You can read about its cookies and data practices in the Cal.com privacy policy. The calendar is not embedded here.
Website hosting and analytics
Cloudflare hosts and protects this website. To deliver pages and keep the site secure, it processes technical details such as your IP address, browser information and website requests.
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see how people use the site and how well our pages load. Cloudflare states that this analytics service does not collect or use visitors’ personal data. Its hosting and security services still process the technical details described above.
Read about Cloudflare Web Analytics and the Cloudflare privacy policy. We don’t use advertising trackers or session recordings on this site.
We save a small setting in your browser tab’s session storage so the homepage intro animation does not replay during that tab’s session. This setting only controls the animation and is not sent to us.
Sharing and storage
Our website, email and booking providers help us run these services. They may process information outside your country. Their privacy policies explain how they handle it.
We don’t sell your personal information. We keep enquiry and booking details for as long as we need them to handle your request, manage our work together or meet legal record-keeping requirements. We may also share information when the law requires it.
Your choices and requests
You choose what to share when you contact us or book a meeting. Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights to access, correct or delete your personal information, or object to or restrict its use. We may need to keep some information to meet legal requirements.
For privacy questions or requests, email Sohail Hatim at [email protected]. We may ask you to confirm your identity before responding to a request about personal information.
