A clear conversation.

Information you choose to share

The project questionnaire collects your name, email address, optional company, project interest, brief, budget range and timeframe. Chat collects your name, email and messages. We use these details to respond, discuss your project and keep a record of the conversation.

Where your messages go

Inquiries and chat messages are stored on the studio's website server. Email notifications may be sent through the studio's configured email provider. Access to the conversation inbox is restricted to authorized administrators. Do not include passwords, financial account details or confidential project material in an initial inquiry.

Cookies and device storage

The administrator area uses an essential session cookie. An unfinished project brief is saved in session storage in the same browser tab for up to eight hours, until you clear it or submit it. Contact consent must be checked again after restoring a draft. Chat uses your browser's session storage to reconnect you to a conversation in the same tab. Your motion and analytics preferences are saved in local storage on your device. Basic server logs and request limits may process technical connection information to operate and protect the site.

Optional website analytics

If you allow analytics, Google Analytics (GA4) and Microsoft Clarity load to help the studio understand public-page visits and improve the website. Google Analytics may process page paths and titles, approximate region, device and browser details, and standard usage events. Microsoft Clarity may process approximate geography, clicks, scrolling and page-layout interactions. Query strings and form contents are not sent as analytics page-view data. Project forms, chat and private dashboard routes are excluded or explicitly masked. Advertising storage remains disabled. If you decline, neither analytics tag loads; if you later revoke consent, the tags are removed, analytics cookies are cleared where accessible, and the page reloads. You can reopen “Privacy choices” at any time.

Embedded media

Decorative background video may load automatically when motion is enabled. Selected films load when you choose to play them. If a video uses YouTube or Vimeo, its player loads after you choose to watch and may process data under that provider's policies. External links take you to separate websites.

Retention and your choices

Messages are retained for project follow-up and related business records until removed by the studio. There is no automatic deletion deadline in this release. You can request a copy, correction or deletion of your inquiry or chat by emailing markus@markusdrew.com. Backup copies may persist until the studio's backup cycle replaces them.
