Your enquiries

OTHER DEPT., run by Aalim in London, uses the name, email address, optional phone number and project details you send to respond to your enquiry and discuss your project. We use this information to take steps at your request before a possible booking, or for our legitimate interest in answering general enquiries.

Your enquiry is stored in the studio’s private inbox on the website’s hosting infrastructure. Only the studio owner can read it. If email notifications are connected, an email delivery provider will also process the message to notify the studio. We do not add you to a marketing list or sell your details.

Enquiries that do not lead to a booking are normally kept for 12 months, then removed when the inbox is next checked or a new enquiry arrives. Booking records may need to be kept separately for business and legal purposes.

Optional analytics

Analytics run only if you choose “Allow analytics”. A first-party cookie named od_analytics distinguishes visits from the same browser within a day. It expires after 24 hours and is replaced for each new London calendar day. We store a daily hashed identifier, without your name, email, raw IP address or browsing history. Identifiers from earlier days are deleted when new analytics events arrive. We retain aggregate daily visitor and page-view totals.

The figures are estimates of consenting browsers, not a list of individual people. Declining analytics does not affect the website or enquiry form. You can change your choice using Cookie settings. Your preference is saved on this browser for up to six months.

Security & site login

The private studio editor uses Sign in with ChatGPT. The hosting and sign-in providers may use essential security and authentication technologies. Form abuse protection uses a short-lived hash of a network address, with a ten-minute expiry; expired entries are cleared on the next form submission. The form does not save your raw IP address. We do not add advertising trackers.

Your rights

You can ask to access or correct your information, request its deletion, or object to processing where applicable. Contact the studio on WhatsApp at 07741971307. You can also raise a concern with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
