Your Rights
Subject to legal limits, individuals may request access to their data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of data that is no longer needed, or restriction of certain processing. Where processing is based on consent, consent may be withdrawn for future processing. Requests are reviewed in light of the records involved and the obligations that apply to them.
How to Make a Request
To make a privacy request, provide enough information to identify the relevant record and describe the action sought. We may ask for additional details before responding if needed to protect confidentiality or confirm the request. Some requests may be limited by recordkeeping, contractual, or legal requirements.
Data Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the inquiry, project administration, delivery, accounting, dispute handling, or legal compliance purposes that apply to it. When data is no longer required, it is deleted, anonymized, or archived in a limited form where retention is necessary.
Policy Changes
If we make material changes, we will update the policy text on the website and may provide additional notice where appropriate. The revised version applies from the stated effective date or, if none is stated, from the time it is posted.
How We Use Data
We use personal data to respond to inquiries, assess project scope, review product counts and style requirements, prepare quotes and delivery plans, arrange planning calls, confirm session details, manage proofing and file delivery, process payments, maintain records, and operate and secure the website. We may also use data to communicate about scheduling, service updates, and administrative matters related to an active or completed project.
Service Providers
We may share personal data with service providers that support website hosting, communications, file delivery, scheduling, payment processing, or similar operational tasks. These parties may process data only as needed to perform their services and are expected to handle it under appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.
Legal Disclosures
We may disclose personal data where required to comply with law, a lawful request, court process, or other binding obligation. We may also share information to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the business, clients, or others.
