Privacy notice.

Last updated 12 November 2026

Who we are

Anchor & Ace (“we”) is a brand studio for start-ups and scale-ups. We decide why and how the details you send through this website are used. You can reach us at contact@anchor-ace.com.

What we collect

Only what you type into the contact form:

• your name and email address (required);
• your company, website or social link, timing and message (optional);
• files you choose to attach (optional);
• which options you ticked, including whether you want the newsletter, and the date you agreed.

Please do not send us personal data about other people or confidential information that we do not need to answer you.

Why we use it, and on what basis

• To reply to your message and talk about working together. Basis: taking steps at your request before an agreement, and our legitimate interest in answering the people who contact us.
• To send you the newsletter, only if you ticked that option. Basis: your consent. We send a maximum of 1 newsletter per month, and every newsletter has a way to unsubscribe. You can also write to us at any time.

We do not sell your details, we do not use them for advertising, and we do not make automated decisions about you.

Where it is stored, and who handles it

Your message is stored in our Google Workspace account (Google Drive, Google Sheets and Gmail), and the website is served by Vercel. These providers process data on our behalf, and may do so outside the European Economic Area under recognised transfer safeguards. We may use AI assistants to help us read, sort and answer enquiries; they work inside the same restrictions and your details are not used for advertising.

Cookies and tracking

This website sets no cookies and has no analytics, advertising or social-media trackers. Fonts are served from our own site. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (for example your IP address) for security and reliability.

Links to other sites, such as KYA Studio, lead to services with their own privacy policies.

How long we keep it

• Enquiries and attached files: up to 24 months after our last contact with you, then deleted. If we start working together, what we need for the project and our records is kept under that agreement.
• Newsletter address: until you unsubscribe.

Your rights

You can ask us to show you what we hold about you, correct it, delete it, limit its use, or send it to you in a usable format. You can object to our use of it, and withdraw your consent at any time (this does not affect what we did before). Write to contact@anchor-ace.com and we will answer within one month.

If you think we handle your details wrongly, you can complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl). We would appreciate the chance to put it right first.
