Data and Intellectual Property Policy
Last Updated: 11.11.2026
At Pixelizma (https://www.pixelizma.com/), we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of data security, confidentiality, and intellectual property integrity. This Data and Intellectual Property (IP) Policy outlines how we manage, protect, and govern data, proprietary assets, and intellectual property across our website, client projects, and digital services.
This policy applies to website visitors, clients, contractors, and partners interacting with Pixelizma.
1. Data Protection & Confidentiality
1.1 Client Data
"Client Data" refers to all text, images, logos, database records, customer lists, or proprietary information supplied by the client to Pixelizma for the execution of digital projects.
- Ownership: All Client Data remains the exclusive property of the client. Pixelizma claims no ownership rights over data provided by our clients.
- Confidentiality: We treat all non-public Client Data as strictly confidential. We will not disclose, sell, rent, or share Client Data with third parties without prior written consent, except where strictly necessary to perform our services (e.g., hosting providers, deployment tools) or as required by UK law.
1.2 Data Security & UK GDPR Compliance
- We process personal data in strict compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
- We employ robust technical and organizational security measures (including encryption, secure servers, and access restrictions) to safeguard client data against unauthorized access, alteration, loss, or theft.
- Upon termination of a project or written request, Pixelizma will securely return or delete Client Data, subject to applicable statutory data retention obligations.
2. Intellectual Property (IP) Rights
2.1 Pixelizma Website Content (Our IP)
All content published on https://www.pixelizma.com/—including but not limited to branding, logos, website layout, graphics, text, software, code, illustrations, case studies, and media—is the exclusive intellectual property of Pixelizma and is protected by UK and international copyright, trademark, and database laws.
- You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, display, or exploit any content from our website without our prior written authorization.
2.2 Client-Supplied Assets
Clients warrant that any materials (logos, graphics, fonts, copy, or media) supplied to Pixelizma for project development are either owned by the client or appropriately licensed. The client agrees to indemnify Pixelizma against any third-party copyright, trademark, or IP infringement claims resulting from client-supplied materials.
2.3 Custom Deliverables & Transfer of Rights
For our client projects (web design, development, branding, digital production):
- Conditional Transfer: Intellectual property rights to bespoke designs and custom code created specifically for the client ("Deliverables") are assigned or licensed to the client only upon full and final payment of all agreed fees.
- Pre-Payment Status: Until all project invoices are paid in full, all draft designs, mockups, prototypes, and developed code remain the sole intellectual property of Pixelizma.
- Background IP & Tools: Pixelizma retains all rights to its pre-existing tools, proprietary frameworks, internal routines, know-how, and reusable design components ("Background IP"). Clients receive a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use such elements strictly as integrated into the final deliverable.
2.4 Third-Party & Open-Source Materials
Websites and digital products frequently utilize third-party plugins, open-source code libraries (e.g., WordPress, React, open-source packages), commercial fonts, or stock imagery:
- These materials are governed by their respective third-party licenses (e.g., MIT, GPL, commercial font licenses).
- IP rights for third-party tools do not transfer to the client; rather, the client is granted usage rights in accordance with the relevant license terms.
2.5 Portfolio and Marketing Rights
Unless explicitly agreed otherwise under a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), Pixelizma reserves the perpetual, non-exclusive right to:
- Display completed client projects, screenshots, and visual designs in our online portfolio, case studies, social media channels, and marketing presentations.
- Include a discreet attribution link (e.g., "Designed by Pixelizma") in the footer of developed websites, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
3. IP Infringement & Reporting (Notice and Takedown)
Pixelizma respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that any material available on our website or hosted on our platforms infringes upon your copyright or intellectual property rights:
Please send a written notice of claimed infringement to info@pixelizma.com containing:
- Identification of the copyrighted work or IP claimed to have been infringed.
- A description of where the allegedly infringing material is located on our site.
- Your contact details (name, address, email address, telephone number).
