Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 23, 2026

Introduction

Shuksan Studios (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates a web design business based in Ridgefield, Washington. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or engage our services.

By using our website or services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our website and services.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you:

• Fill out a contact or inquiry form
• Request a quote or consultation
• Enter into a service agreement with us
• Communicate with us via email, phone, or other channels

This information may include your name, email address, phone number, business name, website URL, and any other details you choose to share.

Information Collected Automatically

We do not use cookies, and we do not use any third-party analytics services — there is no Google Analytics or similar tracking on this site.

To understand roughly how many people visit, we keep a privacy-preserving count of unique daily visits. When a page loads, your browser sends an empty signal to our server, which records a one-way, salted hash derived from your IP address and browser user-agent for that day only. We do not retain your raw IP address or user-agent for this count; the hash rotates daily and cannot be reversed to identify you; and we use a short-lived sessionStorage entry (not a cookie) so a single visit is counted only once. This count honors the browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Controlsignals — if either is enabled, no signal is sent.

When you submit our contact form, we store the information you provide together with your IP address and user-agent at the time of submission. We retain these only in connection with your inquiry, for record-keeping and to resist spam and abuse.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
• Deliver the web design and development services you have requested
• Send project updates, invoices, and service-related communications
• Improve our website, services, and user experience
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party tools and services to operate our business, including but not limited to:

• Hosting providers (e.g., Vercel, Supabase) to host our website and client projects
• Email services (e.g., Resend, Google Workspace) to communicate with clients

These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they handle your data. We encourage you to review their policies.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Project-related files and communications may be retained for the duration of our business relationship and a reasonable period thereafter.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Opt out of certain data collection practices

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.

Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
