Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12 October 2026

This policy explains what personal data ISOLA STUDIOS collects through isolastudios.ae, why, and how you can control it. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to answer enquiries and understand how the site is used.

Who we are

ISOLA STUDIOS is a creative production studio based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, founded by Angelo Meloni and Andrea Folino. For any question about this policy or your data, write to hello@isolastudios.ae.

What we collect

• Brief form. When you send a brief, we receive your name, email address, brand or company (optional) and your message.
• Direct messages. If you contact us by email, WhatsApp or Instagram, we receive the details you choose to share in that conversation.
• Analytics, only with your consent. If you click “Accept” on the cookie banner, Google Analytics collects information about your visit: pages viewed, approximate location (city or country), device and browser type, and how you arrived on the site. If you click “Decline”, Google Analytics is not loaded.
• Technical data. Our hosting provider processes standard server information, such as your IP address and browser type, to deliver the site securely.

How we use it

• To reply to your enquiry and prepare a proposal for your project.
• To understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site so we can improve it.

We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising.

Cookies and local storage

• Google Analytics cookies (names beginning with _ga) are set only after you click “Accept”. They distinguish visits and expire after up to two years.
• Your cookie choice is remembered in your browser’s local storage so the banner does not appear on every visit. It contains no personal data.

You can change your choice at any time:

Who processes your data

• Netlify hosts the website and receives brief form submissions.
• Google provides Google Analytics (only with your consent) and serves the website fonts. Films hosted on YouTube load from Google only when you press play.
• Zoho hosts our email.
• WhatsApp and Instagram (Meta) handle messages you choose to send there.

These providers may process data outside the United Arab Emirates, under their own privacy and security terms.

How long we keep it

Enquiries and related correspondence are kept for as long as needed to discuss and deliver a project, and then for a reasonable period for our records. Google Analytics data is kept according to the retention period set in our Analytics account.

Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you, or to stop using it. Write to hello@isolastudios.ae and we will reply within a reasonable time. If you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
