Privacy policy for visitors to the Stargaze Studio platform (the “Policy”).
General provisions
The controller of your personal data within the meaning of Article 4(7) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (the “GDPR”) is Tivio Studio a.s., identification number (IČO): 193 03 742, with its registered office at Pernerova 691/42, Karlín, 186 00 Prague 8, Czech Republic (the “Controller”).
The Controller’s contact details are: email support@tivio.studio; address Tivio Studio a.s., Pernerova 691/42, Karlín, 186 00 Prague 8, Czech Republic.
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
Sources and categories of personal data processed
The Controller processes personal data provided by users of the Stargaze Studio platform (“Users”), including when registering for the waiting list and, once available, when creating an Account in accordance with the Terms of Use of the Stargaze Studio platform (the “Terms of Use”).
Waiting-list registration. When you register for the waiting list via our sign-up form, the Controller processes your first name and email address and, optionally, your audience size, your primary publishing platform, and the part of your workflow you would most like to improve. The Controller also processes your IP address.
Account and platform use. Once the platform is available, the Controller may, in connection with the provision of the services, also process: the User’s IP address, first name, last name, email address, Account login password, and billing information required by law (first name, last name, IČO, registered office/place of residence, DIČ (VAT), bank account number, and payment card details).
The Controller processes the above personal data to the extent necessary for the provision of electronic services on the basis of the Terms of Use. The data is obtained directly from Users. Providing the data is voluntary, but necessary for the proper provision of the services.
Legal basis and purpose of personal data processing
The legal basis for processing personal data is:
- consent given by the User — sending commercial information, newsletters, and information about the launch of the platform to Users who register for the waiting list and tick the consent box; the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, and consent may be withdrawn at any time;
- performance of a contract — managing your waiting-list registration and, once available, performing the Terms of Use (including maintaining an Account, enabling a Subscription, enabling the submission of opinions and complaints, and handling any complaints); the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR;
- compliance with the Controller’s statutory obligations, resulting in particular from tax and accounting regulations (including the need to issue and archive an invoice or other accounting document); the legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR;
- the Controller’s legitimate interest in optimizing the platform to ensure the greatest possible convenience of use, and in the investigation of and defense against potential claims related to the use of the platform; the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
The purpose of personal data processing is:
- managing the waiting list and notifying registrants about the launch of the platform;
- sending commercial information and conducting other marketing activities on the basis of consent;
- exercising the rights and obligations arising from the Terms of Use — the agreement concluded between the User and the Controller;
- fulfilling the statutory obligations incumbent on the Controller;
- the pursuit and defense of claims;
- optimizing the platform in order to ensure the greatest possible convenience for Users.
As a rule, the Controller does not make automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling within the meaning of Article 22 of the GDPR. Such processing may only take place if the User has given their explicit consent.
Data retention period
The Controller shall retain personal data:
- for the period necessary to exercise the rights and fulfil the obligations arising from the Terms of Use, or until the claims become time-barred or the relevant proceedings are concluded;
- for data processed on the basis of consent (including marketing emails sent to waiting-list registrants) — until the consent is withdrawn;
- until the Controller has fulfilled its legal obligations;
- for data processed on the basis of a legitimate interest — as a rule, until an objection is raised.
After the storage period has expired, the Controller deletes the personal data.
Recipients of personal data (the Controller’s processors)
The recipients of personal data, on the basis of relevant agreements, may be entities:
- involved in the provision of the services by the Controller on the basis of the Terms of Use;
- involved in ensuring the operation of the services on the terms specified in the Terms of Use;
- providing marketing services on behalf of the Controller.
The User’s personal data may be made available to external third parties processing payments, to the extent necessary to process those payments. The recipients of personal data are, in particular, mailing and cloud service providers.
The Controller does not transfer personal data to third countries located outside the European Economic Area or to international organizations.

Personal data security conditions
The Controller declares that it has taken all appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure personal data, including:
- entrusting the processing of personal data only to persons who have been instructed on the obligation of confidentiality with regard to personal data and other obligations to be observed in accordance with the GDPR, other applicable laws, or this Policy;

- conducting regular tests, assessments, and evaluations of the effectiveness of the technical and organizational security measures implemented.
The Controller declares that only authorized persons have access to personal data.
Final provisions
By registering for the waiting list and ticking the consent box — and, where applicable, by creating an Account — on the Stargaze Studio platform, the User confirms that they have read this Policy and accept it in full, and, where consent has been given, consents to receiving commercial communications and other emails from the Controller. The User may withdraw such consent at any time.
The Controller reserves the right to change this Policy. The updated version of the Policy will be published on the Stargaze Studio platform.
