Privacy notice

Data

We process contact and billing details, Stripe checkout and payment identifiers, consent records, access status, support correspondence and security records. Stripe receives card details; AetherStudio does not store full card numbers. A one-way hash of the normalized email address supports optional internal reporting of distinct people. The public counter counts confirmed EUR 9 payments, and no supporter identity is shown publicly.

Purposes

Data is used to supply the Experience, maintain access, operate the verified counter, meet accounting and legal duties, prevent abuse and answer support requests. Marketing requires separate consent.

Providers

Stripe processes payments and Cloudflare provides hosting, security and limited campaign data storage. Their published safeguards apply to any processing outside the EEA.

Retention

Abandoned checkout intents are retained for up to 30 days where operationally possible. Payment, consent and accounting records are retained for the applicable Belgian statutory and limitation periods. Other data is deleted or anonymised when no longer needed.

Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or portability and may complain to the Belgian Data Protection Authority. Questions and rights requests: sila@aetherstudio.vc or +32 56 19 66 11.

Tracking

The Sila site uses no advertising trackers or behavioural analytics. Strictly necessary security and checkout technologies may be used.
