§ 01

Privacy Policy

How ClearVisualGrid handles personal data under the GDPR

ClearVisualGrid (“the Studio”, “we”) is the data controller for personal information collected through this website, correspondence, and project engagements. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and the rights you exercise under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).

Our registered studio address is 7 Résidence Aimara, 97340 Grand-Santi, France. Privacy questions may be directed to [email protected].

We process contact details you submit through inquiry forms—including name, email, telephone number, company, service interest, budget range, and project narrative—primarily to respond to your request, prepare proposals, and deliver contracted design work.

Legal bases include performance of a contract or steps taken at your request prior to contracting (Article 6(1)(b)), our legitimate interest in operating and improving the Studio (Article 6(1)(f)), and consent where required (Article 6(1)(a)).

We do not sell personal data. Limited technical information (such as browser type, approximate location derived from IP, and pages viewed) may be processed by analytics tools you have accepted via the cookie banner, to understand which editorial pages resonate.

Personal data is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy—including statutory tax and accounting obligations—after which it is securely deleted or anonymized. Project correspondence may be archived for professional reference under legitimate interest.

Recipients may include infrastructure and email providers acting as processors under appropriate contractual safeguards. Transfers outside the EEA, if any, rely on standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards.

You may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, or object to processing by emailing [email protected]. You may also lodge a complaint with the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL) or your local supervisory authority.

§ 02

Terms of Service

Commercial conditions for studio engagements

These Terms of Service govern access to the ClearVisualGrid website and the professional design services we offer, including editorial brand websites, design systems, audits, landing compositions, identity systems, motion design, responsive engineering, and design retainers. ClearVisualGrid is based at 7 Résidence Aimara, 97340 Grand-Santi, France.

Engagements begin when a written proposal or statement of work is accepted and any required deposit is received. Scope, deliverables, timelines, and fees are defined in that proposal; changes require mutual written agreement and may adjust schedule and investment.

Fees are quoted in euros or US dollars as stated in the proposal. Invoices are payable according to the schedule set out in the engagement (commonly deposit plus milestone or final balance). Late payments may suspend work and attract interest at the statutory rate.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, upon full payment you receive a perpetual license—or assignment where the proposal so provides—to the custom deliverables created specifically for you. ClearVisualGrid retains ownership of pre-existing tools, methods, and reusable libraries, which we license to you as needed for the project’s intended use.

You are responsible for providing accurate content, timely feedback, and lawful materials. Delays in approvals extend delivery dates. We may rely on approved drafts as authorized by you.

The Studio may use anonymized or non-confidential aspects of completed work in its portfolio unless you instruct otherwise in writing before publication. Confidentiality obligations apply to information you mark confidential or that a reasonable party would treat as confidential.

Services are provided with professional care but are not a guarantee of specific commercial results. Third-party platforms (hosting, CMS, payment providers, fonts, maps) remain subject to their own terms.

Either party may terminate an engagement for material breach after a reasonable cure period, or immediately if the other party becomes insolvent. Work completed up to termination remains payable. Liability is limited to fees paid for the affected engagement, to the extent permitted by law, except for fraud or wilful misconduct.

§ 03

Cookie Policy

Browser storage and consent controls

Cookies and similar technologies (such as localStorage) allow this website to function and, where you consent, help us understand how visitors use our editorial content. ClearVisualGrid does not use cookies for cross-site advertising networks.

Essential cookies are required for core site behavior. This includes remembering your cookie-banner choice (for example, stored under the key cvg_cookie_consent) so the notice does not reappear on every visit.

Analytics cookies, if enabled after your acceptance, may measure aggregated traffic—pages viewed, referral sources, and device categories—to improve clarity of our service catalog. You may refuse analytics without losing access to the site.

When you choose “Essential Only”, only necessary storage is retained. When you choose “Accept All”, analytics categories are permitted for as long as the consent remains valid or until you change your preference.

You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential storage may impair the cookie notice and other basic interactions. Google Maps embeds on our contact page may set additional cookies governed by Google’s policies; map content is used solely to display the studio location at 7 Résidence Aimara, 97340 Grand-Santi, France.

Questions about this policy may be sent to [email protected] or addressed to ClearVisualGrid, 7 Résidence Aimara, 97340 Grand-Santi, France.

§ 04

Refund Policy

Deposits, retainers, and fair settlements

ClearVisualGrid offers professional design services under agreed scopes. Because each commission involves customized creative labor, standard commercial invoices are generally non-refundable once work has commenced, except as set out below.

Before work starts. If you cancel in writing before the studio has begun substantive work, any deposit paid for that commission may be returned, less any unavoidable third-party costs already incurred on your behalf.

After work starts. If you cancel mid-project, fees cover work performed, hours committed, and reserved capacity up to the cancellation date. The studio will invoice the completed portion and refund prepaid amounts exceeding that portion where applicable.

Retainers. Monthly design retainers are billed in advance for a defined support window. Unused hours in a given month do not automatically roll over unless the engagement letter states otherwise. Canceling a retainer takes effect at the end of the current paid month.

Studio-caused issues. If ClearVisualGrid cannot deliver agreed milestones due to its own material failure, we will work to remedy the issue or, failing that, refund fees for undelivered milestones on a pro-rata basis.

Third-party costs. Fonts, stock imagery, paid integrations, hosting, or map services procured for your project are typically non-refundable once purchased.

Refund requests are reviewed against the accepted proposal and engagement correspondence. Write to [email protected] with your project reference. Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method within a reasonable period after approval.
