Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information CoutureCut Studio collects when you enquire about or commission design, pattern and sampling work, and how that information is used.

Last updated: 1 August 2026

Placeholder notice: items shown as [Jurisdiction] must be replaced with the governing territory before this document is published.

1. Who we are

CoutureCut Studio is a fashion design studio providing trend research, silhouette design, colorway development, fabric sourcing, pattern engineering and garment sampling. For the purposes of data protection law in [Jurisdiction], CoutureCut Studio is the data controller for information described in this policy. Questions may be sent to enquiry@codexis.store.

2. Information we collect

  • Enquiry details — name, business name, email address, and the contents of your brief (style count, price points, delivery windows).
  • Project data — measurement charts, fit model dimensions, block libraries, tech packs, supplier terms and other materials you share for development.
  • Commercial records — contracts, purchase orders, invoices and payment references.
  • Website data — basic server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested) used to keep the site secure and available.

3. Why we use it

We use your information to answer enquiries, prepare quotes and schedules, deliver design and sampling work, arrange mill and factory introductions, issue invoices, and keep records required by law in [Jurisdiction]. We do not sell your data and we do not use client design material for marketing without written permission.

4. Legal basis for processing

Where required in [Jurisdiction], we rely on the performance of a contract for project delivery, our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries and protecting the studio, and legal obligation for tax and accounting records. Where consent is the basis (for example, publishing a finished style in our portfolio), you may withdraw it at any time.

5. Confidentiality of designs

Unreleased concepts, patterns, measurement data and mill terms are treated as confidential. Access is restricted to the designers, pattern cutters and sample machinists assigned to your project. We will sign your own non-disclosure agreement on request.

6. Sharing with third parties

We share only what is necessary with mills, dye houses, trim suppliers, courier services, accountants and IT providers engaged to deliver or support your project. Each is bound by confidentiality terms. We may disclose information where required by a competent authority in [Jurisdiction].

7. International transfers

Sampling and sourcing often involve suppliers outside [Jurisdiction]. Where data is transferred internationally, we use the safeguards recognised under the law of [Jurisdiction], such as standard contractual clauses.

8. Retention

Enquiry correspondence is kept for 24 months. Project files, patterns and tech packs are kept for the duration of the engagement plus seven years, or the period required by the accounting and limitation rules of [Jurisdiction], whichever is longer. Physical samples are held for twelve months after final delivery unless you ask for their return.

9. Your rights

Subject to the law of [Jurisdiction], you may request access to your data, correction of inaccurate records, deletion, restriction of processing, portability, or object to processing based on legitimate interests. Write to enquiry@codexis.store and we will respond within the statutory period applicable in [Jurisdiction]. You may also lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in [Jurisdiction].

10. Security

Project files are stored in access-controlled systems with encryption in transit, role-based permissions and regular backups. Printed patterns and physical samples are stored in the studio and destroyed securely at the end of the retention period.

11. Cookies

This website uses only the strictly necessary cookies required to serve pages and maintain security. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are set. If analytics are introduced, this policy will be updated and consent obtained where required in [Jurisdiction].

12. Changes and contact

We will post any material change to this policy on this page with a revised update date. For any privacy question, email enquiry@codexis.store.
