Privacy policy
Effective July 5, 2026 · Last reviewed July 12, 2026
This page explains, in plain English, what information Davis Digital Studio collects and how it’s used. The short version: I collect only what’s needed to respond to you and do the work, I never sell it, and you can ask me about any of it directly.
What I collect
When you contact me or use a free tool — your name, email, and whatever you choose to share, such as your website address or details about your business. Contact form submissions are delivered through Formspree.
When you become a client — the information needed to run your project: your contact details, project brief, messages, files you upload, invoices, and approvals, all kept inside the private project workspace. The portal has its own Workspace Terms covering data ownership, backups, and offboarding.
Automatically — standard technical logs (like IP address and browser type) that hosting providers record to keep the site running and secure.
How it’s used
To reply to you, deliver the service you asked for, run your project, send invoices and project updates, and improve the site. Nothing else. I don’t sell personal information, and I don’t share it except with the service providers below, as needed to deliver what you asked for.
Email you can actually leave: every email that isn’t strictly transactional includes a working one-click unsubscribe. Unsubscribing adds your address to an automated suppression list, honored before anything else is sent — you won’t hear from me again unless you ask to.
Services that help run this site
Like most modern studios, I rely on a small set of established providers, each receiving only what it needs to do its job: Supabase (secure database and file storage for the project workspace), Netlify (website hosting), Formspree (contact form delivery), Stripe (payments), Resend (transactional email), Calendly (call scheduling), Google Fonts (the typefaces on these pages — your browser fetches them from Google’s servers, which sees only a standard font request), and Anthropic (the AI behind the free review tools and the portal assistant — see the AI disclaimer for exactly what’s sent and what isn’t).
A note on payments: card details go directly to Stripe over their secure checkout. They never touch this site’s servers, and I never see your card number.
Cookies & analytics
Analytics only runs if you say yes. The first time you visit, a small banner asks whether I can use Google Analytics to see which pages help visitors most. If you decline — or simply ignore the banner — Google Analytics never loads and no analytics cookies are set. If you allow it, Google sets its usual cookies to make the measurement work, with IP anonymization on. Your choice is remembered in your browser’s local storage: a simple on-device setting this site reads, not a tracking cookie, and never sent anywhere.
The private project workspace contains no third-party analytics at all — what you do in your portal isn’t tracked by anyone.
How long I keep things
Enquiries and free-tool submissions are kept as long as they’re useful for responding to you, then cleared out periodically. Client project records are kept for the life of our work together and a reasonable period afterward for records, taxes, and any follow-up you ask for. When a client relationship ends, portal offboarding and deletion are handled as described in the Workspace Terms.
Your choices
You can ask what information I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it — email eric@davisdigitalstudio.com and I’ll handle it personally and promptly. I honor reasonable requests without making you jump through hoops.
Taking your data with you: clients can export what they own — content, files, and records from the project workspace — at any time, and I’ll help if you want a hand with it.
Deleting your account: ask any time. Deletion runs after a 30-day cooling-off period, during which you can still download everything — or change your mind and cancel. When it executes, your login is deleted and your personal details are anonymized. The one exception: invoices and payment records are retained, because tax law requires it — they’re kept only for that purpose.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes with it, and significant changes will be called out rather than slipped in quietly.
Contact
Questions about your data? Email eric@davisdigitalstudio.com or use the contact page — you’ll get an answer from me, not a form letter. This policy is written in plain English on purpose; if anything is unclear, ask.
