Privacy Policy

Last updated: 19 October 2026

1605 Studio is a production studio operated by 1605 Collective in Alkmaar, the Netherlands. 1605 Collective is the trading name of 1605 Publishers B.V. We respect your privacy. This page explains what we collect, why, and how we handle it. We follow the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / AVG).

Who is responsible

Hazenkoog 9, 1822 BS Alkmaar, the Netherlands
Chamber of Commerce (KvK): 83120335

What we collect

  • Inquiry form: name, email, phone (optional), shoot details, attachments you upload (moodboards or PDF).
  • Newsletter signup: email address and the language you prefer.
  • Site usage: with your permission, Google Analytics 4 measures visited pages, device information and successful inquiries or signups. We do not send form contents or email addresses.
  • Server logs: standard hosting logs (IP, user agent, timestamp) kept by our hosting provider for security and uptime. Retention depends on the service and configured plan; see below.

Why we collect it

  • To respond to your inquiry and prepare a quote (legal basis: contract, GDPR art. 6.1.b).
  • To send the newsletter you signed up for (legal basis: consent, GDPR art. 6.1.a). You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every newsletter.
  • To understand and improve website usage, only with your consent. Advertising signals and ad personalisation are disabled.
  • To prevent abuse and spam on our forms (legal basis: legitimate interest).

Who we share data with

We use a small number of trusted processors. Each has a data processing agreement (DPA) with us and processes data only on our instructions.

  • Supabase (storage of inquiries and uploads, hosted in the EU)
  • Resend (sending email confirmations and notifications)
  • Klaviyo (newsletter delivery, on the 1605 Collective account)
  • Anthropic (AI-assisted draft replies to inquiries, reviewed by our team before sending)
  • Google Workspace (email and booking calendar)
  • Vercel (website hosting)
  • Google Analytics 4 (website analytics, only with your consent)

We embed Google Maps to show the studio location. When the map loads, Google receives technical request data and processes it under its own privacy policy.

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. We only disclose it to authorities if we are legally required to.

Some of the processors above (Resend, Vercel, Klaviyo, Google, Anthropic) are based in the United States or process data partly in the US. For such transfers outside the European Economic Area we rely on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) of the European Commission as concluded with these parties, in line with GDPR chapter V.

How long we keep it

  • Inquiries and quotes: up to 24 months after the last contact, so we can pick up returning conversations.
  • Booked clients: for the duration of the rental relationship plus 7 years (Dutch tax law on financial records).
  • Newsletter subscriptions: until you unsubscribe, or after 5 years of inactivity (no opens or clicks). After that we clean up the profile.
  • Operational logs: retention depends on the service and configured plan. Vercel runtime logs are available for one day on the standard Pro plan, or up to 30 days with extended observability. Resend retains email and log data for 30 days. Access to logs is restricted.

Your rights

Under GDPR you can ask us to:

  • Send you a copy of the data we hold about you
  • Correct anything that is wrong
  • Delete your data (subject to legal retention rules)
  • Stop processing your data for a specific purpose
  • Receive your data in a portable format

Email studio@1605collective.com and we respond within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied with how we handle a request, you can file a complaint with the Dutch DPA: Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl).
