Privacy Policy

A minimal policy, written for adults.

Last updated: May 2026

Overview

Belle & Company respects your privacy and handles personal information with care, discretion, and professionalism. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

Information we collect

We collect information you voluntarily provide through our inquiry forms, Academy list sign-ups, and product purchases. This may include name, email address, phone, company, location, discipline, portfolio and social links, referral source, project briefs or attachments, and the contents of your messages.

We also collect limited technical information through standard web logs and analytics (such as device type, browser, referring page, and approximate location) to understand site usage and improve performance.

How inquiry form data is used

Information submitted through Client Inquiry, Representation, Private Advisory, and general contact forms is used solely to review the inquiry, communicate where appropriate, and maintain internal records. Inquiry submissions are not added to marketing lists.

How Academy and product data is used

Information submitted when joining the Academy list or purchasing an Academy product is used to deliver the product, provide access to purchased materials, send transactional communications related to the purchase, and send Academy updates where you have opted in.

Payment information (card details, billing address) is collected and processed by our payment provider and is not stored on Belle & Company servers.

Email and marketing consent

You will only receive marketing or Academy update emails if you have explicitly opted in (for example, by joining the Academy list). Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can withdraw consent at any time by emailing us at the address below.

Analytics and cookies

This site may use limited analytics cookies and similar technologies to understand aggregate usage, measure performance, and improve the experience. Where required by law, cookie usage is subject to your consent and you may decline non-essential cookies through your browser settings.

Third-party processors

We rely on a limited set of trusted third-party services to operate the website and deliver our work, including hosting and site infrastructure, email delivery, analytics, and the payment processor used for Academy purchases. These providers process data on our behalf under their own terms and security standards.

Data sharing

We do not sell personal information. We share information only with the processors described above, with professional advisors where strictly necessary, or where required by law.

Data retention

Inquiry, Academy, and purchase records are retained for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which they were collected and to meet legal, tax, and record-keeping obligations.

Your rights

Depending on where you are located (including under GDPR and CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export the personal information we hold about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to opt out of marketing communications. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below.

Security

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is guaranteed to be completely secure.

This policy may be updated periodically. Continued use of the website constitutes acceptance of the current policy.
