Privacy Statement

Last updated 17 August 2026

Hihiri Studio is a motion design studio based in New Zealand. This statement explains what personal information we collect through hihiristudio.com, why we collect it, and who else sees it.

We collect as little as we can. We don’t use advertising trackers, we don’t set cookies, and we never sell or share your information for marketing.

What we collect

When you send an enquiry through the form on our site, we collect your name, your email address, your business name, and the type of project you’re enquiring about.

All four are required — we can’t reply to an enquiry without them. Using the form is entirely voluntary; if you’d rather not, email us directly at Josh@Hihiristudio.com.

When you visit the site we collect aggregate analytics through Framer, such as page views and general traffic patterns. This doesn’t identify you, and our site sets no cookies.

Why we collect it

Only to reply to your enquiry, prepare a quote, and — if you go ahead — deliver the work and invoice you. We don’t use your details for anything else and we won’t add you to a mailing list.

Who else sees it

We use the following services to run the studio. All are based overseas, which means your information is held outside New Zealand.

— Framer — website hosting and the enquiry form (United States)

— Google, via Gmail — where enquiries arrive and our correspondence with you happens (United States)

— Stripe — invoicing and payment, for clients who go ahead (United States)

— Make — automated deposit and delivery emails (European Union)

We share your information with these services only so they can provide those functions to us. We don’t disclose it to anyone else unless the law requires it.

How long we keep it

— Enquiries that don’t become projects: 12 months, then deleted

— Client records: 7 years, to meet New Zealand tax and record-keeping requirements

Your rights

Under the Privacy Act 2020 you can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct anything that’s wrong, and ask us to delete it where we aren’t required to keep it.

Email Josh@Hihiristudio.com and we’ll respond within 20 working days.

Complaints

If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your information, tell us first and we’ll try to put it right. If you’re still not satisfied, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.
