4. Legal bases
Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for processing, we may rely on:
- Contract: where processing is necessary to provide a requested service or manage an agreement with you;
- Legitimate interests: where processing is reasonably necessary to operate, secure, improve, and protect our services, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights;
- Consent: where consent is required and we ask for it;
- Legal obligation: where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that took place before the withdrawal.

We do not currently use cookies for advertising or cross-site behavioral tracking.
If this changes, this Privacy Policy and, where required, our cookie consent mechanisms will be updated accordingly.
6. Service providers
We use trusted third-party infrastructure providers to operate parts of our service.
These providers may process personal information on our behalf where necessary to provide their services to us. This may include infrastructure, database, file storage, email delivery, security, and related technical services.
Our current infrastructure may include services provided by:
- Cloudflare, for website infrastructure, database, file storage, and related services;
- Resend, for transactional email delivery.
Third-party providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Where applicable law requires safeguards for international data transfers, we take reasonable steps to use an appropriate legal mechanism.
We do not sell your personal information.
7. Project files and client information
If you use the Geere Design client platform, you may provide project information and files.
We use this information to provide the requested services and operate your client account.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights and permissions to provide files or personal information to us.
Please do not upload information that is not reasonably necessary for your project.
8. Payments
Geere Design may introduce online payment functionality in the future.
Where payments are processed through a third-party payment provider, payment card information will be handled by that provider rather than stored by Geere Design.
The applicable payment provider’s own terms and privacy policy will also apply to payment processing.
This Privacy Policy will be updated when payment functionality is introduced.
9. How long we keep information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Retention may depend on:
- the nature of the information;
- whether your account remains active;
- whether we are providing services to you;
- legal, accounting, or contractual requirements;
- the need to resolve disputes or enforce agreements;
- security and fraud-prevention requirements.
When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.
