What Data We Collect

We collect only what we need to serve you well:

• Contact information — your name, email address, and any project details you share through our contact form.
• Usage data — pages visited, time on site, browser type, and device information. This is collected in aggregate and is not tied to your identity without your consent.
• Communications — emails or messages you send us directly.

We do not collect payment information directly — any payments are handled by third-party processors with their own privacy policies.

How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and project requests
• Manage our business relationship with you
• Improve our website and services
• Comply with our legal obligations

We will never sell your data, and we don't use it for purposes beyond what's described here without asking you first.

Third-Party Processors

We use a small number of trusted services to run our business. When you submit a contact form, your information is sent to:

• Zoho CRM — to track and manage incoming leads. Zoho is a SOC 2 certified platform. You can review Zoho's Privacy Policy for details on how they handle data.

We choose vendors carefully and only share data that's necessary for them to perform their service.

Cookies

We use cookies to make the site work and, with your consent, to understand how visitors use it. There are two categories:

• Essential cookies — required for the site to function. These cannot be declined.
• Analytics cookies — used to measure site performance and improve the experience. These are only activated with your consent.

You can withdraw your cookie consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Correction — ask us to fix inaccurate data

GDPR Rights for EU Residents

If you're located in the European Union or European Economic Area, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our lawful basis for processing your data is typically your consent (for cookies and marketing) or our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe we've handled your data improperly. We'd rather you contact us first so we can make it right.

Data Retention

We keep your contact form submissions for as long as the business relationship is active, and for up to 3 years thereafter. You can request deletion at any time by emailing us.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. If you believe a minor has submitted data to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
