We use submitted information primarily to respond to your inquiry and determine whether WebFoundry can provide the requested services.

We may retain inquiry information for reasonable business and recordkeeping purposes.

WebFoundry may use third-party payment processors to process payments.

When you make a payment, payment information may be collected directly by the applicable payment processor.

WebFoundry generally does not need to receive or store your complete payment-card number.

Payment processors may collect, use, and store information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

WebFoundry may use third-party services to operate its website and business.

These services may include providers for:

• Website hosting

• Payment processing
• Email
• Contact forms
• Analytics
• Website security
• Cloud storage
• Customer communication
• Other business functions

These providers may process information on WebFoundry's behalf or collect information directly when their services are used.

WebFoundry will only represent that a specific provider is used if that provider is actually being used by WebFoundry.

WebFoundry may use cookies or similar technologies.

Cookies may be used for purposes such as:

• Website functionality
• Security
• Remembering preferences
• Analytics
• Understanding website traffic
• Improving website performance

The exact cookies and tracking technologies used may change as WebFoundry's website and services change.

You can generally control cookies through your web browser settings.

If WebFoundry uses analytics or advertising technologies that provide additional privacy choices, WebFoundry will provide appropriate disclosures or controls where required.

If analytics tools are enabled on the WebFoundry website, they may collect information about how visitors interact with the website.

Analytics information may include pages visited, approximate location, device information, browser information, and other usage information.

Analytics providers may process information according to their own privacy policies.

WebFoundry does not sell personal information merely because you submit an inquiry or become a client.

We may share information when reasonably necessary to operate the business, including with:

• Payment processors
• Hosting providers
• Email providers
• Website and software providers
• Analytics providers
• Cloud-storage providers
• Professional advisers

We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect WebFoundry, our clients, users, or others.

We do not authorize third parties to use information provided to WebFoundry for purposes inconsistent with the services they provide to us, except as permitted by law or described in this Privacy Policy.

When WebFoundry builds a website for a Client, the Client may provide business information, photographs, logos, customer testimonials, employee information, or other materials.

The Client is responsible for ensuring that it has the appropriate rights and permissions to provide those materials to WebFoundry.

WebFoundry may process Client-provided information as necessary to provide the contracted services.

If the Client's website collects personal information from its own users, the Client is generally responsible for determining the appropriate privacy disclosures, notices, consents, and legal requirements applicable to that website.

WebFoundry may assist with implementing website functionality, but WebFoundry does not provide legal advice or guarantee that a Client's website complies with every privacy law applicable to the Client's business or customers.

WebFoundry may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Information may be retained for purposes including:

• Providing services
• Maintaining business records
• Accounting
• Resolving disputes
• Preventing fraud or abuse
• Complying with legal obligations
• Enforcing agreements

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, WebFoundry may delete or securely dispose of it, subject to legal, accounting, or legitimate business requirements.

WebFoundry takes reasonable measures to protect information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

The Federal Trade Commission recommends that businesses collect only information they need, protect the information they retain, and dispose of information when it is no longer needed.

Accordingly, WebFoundry aims to limit collection and retention of personal information to what is reasonably necessary for business purposes.

WebFoundry's services are intended for businesses and general audiences and are not directed toward children.

We do not knowingly request or intentionally collect personal information from children through our website.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information to WebFoundry, please contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.

The WebFoundry website may contain links to third-party websites or services.

WebFoundry is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of third-party websites.

You should review the privacy policies of third-party websites before providing them with personal information.

Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

These may include the ability to:

• Request information about personal information we maintain about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of certain information
• Ask questions about how information is used
• Withdraw certain communications or marketing preferences

Some requests may be subject to legal or business-record exceptions.

If you contact WebFoundry, we may use your email address to respond to your inquiry or communicate with you regarding a project.

We may also send necessary transactional or service-related communications.

If WebFoundry sends optional marketing communications, we will provide an appropriate way to unsubscribe where required by applicable law.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business, website, services, technology, or legal requirements.

When changes are made, we will update the “Effective Date” at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.

If we make material changes to how we use personal information, we will provide additional notice when required by applicable law.

WebFoundry will not intentionally make privacy commitments that it does not follow. The FTC has emphasized that businesses are expected to honor the privacy representations they make to consumers.
