Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Studio Šterijev. We believe in transparency—not just in design, but in how we handle your data. This Privacy Policy outlines what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it.

Our website address is: https://studio.sterijev.com

2. Information We Collect

2.1. Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site (for example, on our blog articles), we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

2.2. Contact Forms

If you contact us via the contact form or booking link on our website, we collect your name, email address, and any other details you provide in your message. We use this data solely to communicate with you regarding your inquiry or project. We do not sell or use your email for marketing lists unless you explicitly opt-in.

2.3. Cookies

We use cookies to improve your experience on our site.

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again. These cookies last for one year.
  • Login: If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • Preferences: Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks.

3. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, images, social media posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

We take your privacy seriously. We do not sell or trade your personal data.

However, we may use trusted third-party service providers to help us operate our business, such as:

  • Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
  • Security: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
  • Analytics: We may use tools like Google Analytics to understand website traffic trends. This data is anonymized and does not identify you personally.

5. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically.
  • Registered Users: For users that register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

6. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you have the right to:

  • Request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.

Note: This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes (such as invoices for tax records).
