Privacy policy

The data controller is DAMA MEDIA, a creative video production studio in Latvia. For anything about your personal data, write to contact@damamedia.agency.

When you send the contact form, we receive:

• your name, and your company if you add it
• your email address
• the type of project, your description of it, and a budget range if you pick one
• your confirmation that you agree to this policy

To stop spam, the server briefly checks how many messages come from your IP address. It keeps that count in memory for at most 10 minutes and does not store it.

Like any website, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical information when you visit (such as IP address, browser and time of the request) to deliver the site and keep it secure.

We don't use analytics, advertising pixels or any other tracking, and we don't buy or sell personal data.

We use your form details only to reply to your inquiry, discuss your project and prepare an offer. The legal basis is your consent, given with the checkbox on the form, and steps taken at your request before entering into a contract (GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and (b)).

Spam protection and the hosting provider's technical logs rely on our legitimate interest in keeping the website secure and working (Article 6(1)(f)).

You can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing us. This doesn't affect anything we did with your data before you withdrew it.

We don't share your data with anyone for their own purposes. These service providers process it on our behalf, under data processing agreements:

• Resend, which delivers the contact form message to our inbox
• our email provider, where we receive and answer your message
• our website hosting provider, which serves the site

Some of these providers are based in the United States. Where data leaves the European Economic Area, it is protected by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

The Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn links on this site take you to those platforms, where their own privacy policies apply.

If your inquiry doesn't turn into a project, we delete it within 12 months of our last contact.

If we work together, we keep the correspondence for as long as the project and our working relationship last, and afterwards only as long as Latvian law requires (for example, for accounting).

The spam-protection count disappears after 10 minutes at most. The hosting provider's technical logs are kept for a short period under its own policy.

This website sets no tracking or advertising cookies, so there is no cookie banner. It stores only these small items on your device, all of them strictly to make the site work:

• NEXT_LOCALE (cookie, 12 months): remembers your choice if you switch between English and Latvian
• dama-shutter (session storage, cleared when you close the tab): plays the transition when you change language
• a note in local storage that you closed the language suggestion, so it doesn't appear again

You can delete them at any time in your browser settings.

Under the GDPR you have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you and get a copy of it
• have it corrected if it is wrong or incomplete
• have it deleted
• restrict or object to how we use it
• receive it in a portable format
• withdraw your consent at any time

Email contact@damamedia.agency to use any of these rights. We'll reply within one month.

If you think we've handled your data wrongly, you can also complain to the Latvian Data State Inspectorate (Datu valsts inspekcija, www.dvi.gov.lv) or the data protection authority in your own country.

If we change how we handle personal data, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
