Privacy policy

Last updated june 2026

We keep it simple.

Studio KERN collects only what we need to run engagements and communicate with clients. We don't sell data, we don't use tracking pixels, and we don't run ads.

What we collect

We collect the information you choose to share when contacting Studio KERN, including your name, email address, and details relevant to your enquiry or project. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address for that purpose. We do not collect or store payment card information.

How we use it

We use your information to respond to enquiries, provide our services, communicate about ongoing projects, and, if you've opted in, send occasional updates or newsletters. We do not sell your information or use it for advertising. Information is shared only when necessary to provide our services or comply with legal obligations.

Your rights

Under applicable U.S. privacy laws, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we maintain about you, subject to applicable legal requirements. If you have questions about how your information is handled, please contact us using the information provided on our Contact page.

Terms of engagement

Last updated June 2026

How we work together.

These terms apply to all engagements with Studio KERN. They're intentionally plain English. If something isn't clear, ask before we start.

Scope and fees

Every engagement begins with a defined scope and fee proposal. Changes to scope may require an updated agreement and adjustments to fees or schedule. Payment terms are outlined in each engagement agreement.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise agreed, project-specific deliverables become the client's property upon final payment. Studio KERN retains ownership of its methodologies, templates, tools, and intellectual property developed independently of the engagement.

Confidentiality

Client information is treated as confidential by default. We are happy to execute a mutual NDA when appropriate. We do not disclose client information or project details without permission, except where required by law.

Cancellation

Either party may end an engagement upon written notice. Work completed through the date of termination remains billable according to the agreed terms. Any non-refundable expenses incurred on behalf of the project remain the client's responsibility.
