Information We May Collect

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, telephone number, business or organization name, project details, booking information, messages, files, and other information submitted through forms or communications.

When you make a purchase or payment, payment information is processed through our third-party payment processor. Passionate Creatives | Studio does not intentionally store complete payment-card information on its own systems.

Our website platform and connected technologies may also automatically collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring pages, and information collected through cookies or similar technologies.

How We Use Information

We may use collected information to respond to inquiries, schedule appointments, prepare proposals, provide requested services, process transactions, communicate about projects, deliver purchased products or services, provide customer support, maintain business records, improve our website and services, prevent fraud or misuse, and meet legal or accounting obligations.

If you choose to join our email list, we may also use your email address to send business news, service announcements, creative updates, special offers, educational content, or other marketing communications.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe option included in those messages.

Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website is hosted through Squarespace and may use cookies, analytics tools, or similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and improve website performance.

Depending on the features enabled on the site, certain third-party services may also place or access cookies.

Browser settings may allow you to block or delete cookies; however, disabling cookies may affect some website functionality.

Payment Processing

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers, such as Stripe, or other payment services made available through our website.

Those providers process payment information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy practices of third-party providers when submitting payment information.

Third-Party Service Providers

We may use third-party providers to operate or support portions of our business, including website hosting, payment processing, email services, appointment scheduling, cloud storage, analytics, business communications, and creative-production tools.

These providers may receive information when reasonably necessary to perform services on our behalf or when information is submitted directly through their systems.

We do not sell personal information simply for profit from third-party advertisers.

Information Submitted for Creative Projects

Clients may provide photographs, manuscripts, logos, business information, recordings, creative assets, project files, or other materials necessary for us to perform contracted services.

Such materials will be used for the purpose of providing the requested service and carrying out legitimate business operations related to the project.

If a project contains confidential or sensitive information, clients should notify Passionate Creatives | Studio before submitting the material so appropriate arrangements can be discussed.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for business operations, customer service, project records, accounting, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and other legitimate purposes.

The FTC recommends that businesses avoid collecting unnecessary sensitive data and retain information only as long as there is a legitimate need for it. Federal Trade Commission

Information Security

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information in our possession. However, no website, email system, internet transmission, or electronic-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Sharing of Information

We may share information with service providers that assist us in operating our business; when necessary to complete a service requested by you; when required by law, court order, or legal process; to protect the rights, safety, or property of Passionate Creatives LLC or others; or in connection with a business transfer or restructuring.

We do not intentionally disclose personal information for purposes inconsistent with this policy without appropriate notice or authorization.

Children's Privacy

Our website and services are intended primarily for adults, businesses, organizations, and clients seeking creative services and are not intended to collect personal information directly from children under 13.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been submitted directly to us without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to address the information.

Your Privacy Choices

You may contact us to request that we update or correct personal information you have provided, ask questions about how your information is used, or request deletion of information when appropriate and when we are not legally or operationally required to retain it.

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have additional privacy rights.
