Data Controller
The entity responsible for the processing of personal data on this website within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR is:
Hosting and server logs
This website is hosted by Hostinger International Ltd. (61 Lordou Vironos Street, 6023 Larnaca, Cyprus). It is served from servers inside the European Union. Hostinger processes the data as a processor under Art. 28 GDPR.
With every request the server automatically stores access data in log files: the address requested, date and time, volume of data transferred, a message about successful retrieval, browser type and version, operating system, referring page and the IP address. This data serves secure operation, troubleshooting and defence against attacks. It is not merged with other data sources.
Retention: log files are deleted or truncated after 30 days.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Legitimate interest in the secure and stable operation of this website).
Content Delivery & Video Hosting (BunnyCDN)
To deliver high-resolution 4K showreels, commercial video assets, and static media with minimal latency globally, we utilize the Content Delivery Network (CDN) provided by BunnyWay d.o.o. (Dunajska cesta 165, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia, "BunnyCDN").
When accessing our media assets, technical connection data (including IP address, browser headers, timestamp, and requested file) is processed by BunnyCDN edge servers to transmit the media stream securely to your device.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Legitimate interest in providing secure, high-performance, and buffer-free video streaming for our commercial productions).
Contact Form & Scheduling
A. Contact Form (Formspree)
When you submit an inquiry through our contact form, the data you enter (such as name, company website, email address, and project brief) is processed to evaluate feasibility and reply to your request. For form handling and transmission, we use Formspree, Inc. (Austin, TX, USA). Data transfers are safeguarded via EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC).
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual communication) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
B. Discovery Call Scheduling (Cal.com)
We offer the ability to schedule a 15-minute discovery video call directly on our website using the scheduling integration provided by Cal.com, Inc. (Wilmington, DE, USA). When selecting an appointment time, your chosen slot, name, and email address are processed to generate calendar invites and meeting links.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual inquiries and appointment fulfillment).
Job applications
Applications reach us by email at contact@syntaxmotion.com. We process the data submitted (name, contact details, CV, portfolio, showreel and any further voluntary information) solely to assess the application and run the selection process.
Retention: if we decline, we keep the documents for seven months so that we can evidence any claims under the Equal Treatment Act, then delete them. We keep them longer in a talent pool only with your explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time. If an employment relationship starts, the data moves into personnel administration.
Legal basis: Section 26(1) DSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures); for retention after a rejection Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; for a talent pool Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Analytics, ad measurement and Tag Manager
This website uses Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads conversion tracking (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google Analytics evaluates pseudonymous usage data so we can improve the website. Google Ads measures whether someone contacts us after clicking one of our ads.
Google Tag Manager and all Google services are only loaded after you choose "Accept All" in the cookie banner. Before that, and if you choose "Essential Only", no data is sent to Google. After your consent, Google sets cookies such as _ga, _ga_* and _gcl_au on this domain and IDE on doubleclick.net. Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the USA; Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
We store your choice only locally in your browser (localStorage, entry "syntaxMotionCookieConsent") so the banner does not appear on every visit.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page. This deletes the Google cookies and shows the banner again.
Fonts and icons
The fonts used (Blauer Nue, Cinzel) and the icons (Lucide) are stored on our own server and loaded from there. No connection is made to Google Fonts or any other third-party service, and no IP address is transmitted to a third party.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Legitimate interest in a consistent, aesthetic presentation across devices).
Retention and automated decisions
We store personal data only for as long as the purpose requires or statutory retention periods demand. Enquiries sent through the contact form or by email are deleted three years after the last contact, unless an assignment resulted from them. Records relating to assignments are kept for seven years (Section 132 BAO).
There is no automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. Providing your data is neither required by law nor by contract. Without the details in the contact form, however, we cannot answer an enquiry.
Map on the contact page
On the contact page you can display a Google Maps map. The map is deliberately not embedded in advance: opening the page establishes no connection to Google. The map is only loaded once you click "Load map".
With that click your IP address and technical details about your browser and device are transmitted to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. A transfer to Google LLC in the United States is possible. Google may set cookies and evaluate your use of the map. We have no influence on the scope or purpose of that processing. Details are in Google's privacy policy.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). You give consent by clicking "Load map"; if you do not load the map, no transfer takes place. The consent applies to that page view only and is withdrawn by reloading the page.
