Field Note: Protocol

Data Handling &
Digital Boundaries

We operate on a principle of radical clarity regarding your data. At our studio in Bogotá, we view privacy not as a legal obligation to obscure, but as a structural constraint to design around. This document outlines exactly what we capture, why we capture it, and the specific boundaries we enforce to keep your digital identity distinct from your operational needs.

Unlike agencies that bury policy in jargon, we treat this as a schematic. If you interact with our portfolio, request a quote, or sign a contract, we collect specific identifiers. We do not sell this data. We do not harvest secondary profiles. We treat your information as a project constraint: minimal, purposeful, and protected.

Storage & International Transfers

All data collected via pixlixa.company resides on secure servers located within the European Union (Frankfurt, Germany) via our infrastructure partner. This jurisdiction provides robust protections under GDPR. However, as a studio operating from Calle 93B #13-44, Bogotá, we maintain local backups for tax and operational continuity purposes, stored in encrypted vaults in Colombia.

We do not transfer data outside of these two regions. If you are accessing our portfolio from outside Colombia or the EU, your interaction is routed through our EU gateway to ensure highest-grade protection. No third-party marketing platforms are fed your data. We use a strict "zero-knowledge" approach with our analytics provider—meaning your session is anonymized before it hits our dashboard.

Key Takeaway

Your data crosses borders only once: from your browser to our EU server. It does not get shared, sold, or synchronized with ad networks. The only exception is legal compulsion by Colombian or EU courts.

User Rights

Exercising Control

Under Colombian Habeas Data Law (Law 1581 of 2012) and GDPR, you hold specific rights. We are legally and ethically bound to honor them within 15 business days.

Constraint

Backup Integrity: While you may request deletion, technical backups may retain encrypted fragments for up to 90 days due to our disaster recovery protocol.

Rectification

Spot an error in your invoice or contact details? We can correct specific data points without nuking the whole record.
