FormistPrivacy Policy
Formist respects your personal privacy and handles all data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation. This policy details how we collect, process, and safeguard information gathered through your interactions with our journal.
Data Controller
The data controller responsible for the processing of your personal information collected through this website is Formist Design Journal Ltd. If you have questions, inquiries, or requests regarding how your personal information is managed, you may contact our data protection team via our official editorial contact address.
Legal framework
We handle records in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant statutes in Ireland. Applicable legislation takes precedence over this text in any conflict.
Data Collected
We collect information you explicitly submit through our contact forms or editorial inquiry channels, including your name, email address, portfolio links, and message text. Our web servers automatically collect basic technical logs, such as your IP address, browser type, referral URLs, and timestamps. With your explicit consent, we also gather aggregated analytics data through privacy-compliant metrics tools.
Purposes and Legal Basis
We process submitted personal data to respond to editorial pitches, press inquiries, and reader feedback on the legal basis of legitimate interest and performance of communication. Technical log files are processed to preserve site security, prevent distributed denial-of-service attacks, and troubleshoot platform bugs. Analytical data is processed on the basis of your explicit consent provided through our consent manager.
Storage Period
Correspondence submitted via contact forms is retained for up to two years to maintain historical communication records and address editorial follow-ups. Web server access logs are purged automatically within thirty days unless required for an ongoing security investigation. Aggregated analytical metrics are held for twenty-four months in de-identified form before complete deletion.
Third-Party Services
Formist uses reliable technical providers to support server hosting, content delivery network caching, and privacy-first web traffic analysis. These service providers process data strictly on our instructions under binding data processing agreements. We do not sell, rent, or trade reader personal information to advertising brokers or market research companies.
Your Rights
Under applicable privacy laws, you possess the right to access, rectify, or request the erasure of your personal data held by Formist Design Journal Ltd. You may also object to processing, request data portability, or withdraw consent at any time without penalty. To exercise any of these statutory rights, please send a written request to our editorial contact desk.
