This policy explains, in plain language, what information Coded Genius collects through this website, why we collect it and the choices you have. We never sell your personal information.
01Who we are
Coded Genius is a veteran-led web design studio based in Stafford, Virginia. In this policy, "Coded Genius," "we," "us" and "our" mean our business, and "you" means anyone who visits this website or contacts us through it.
02Information we collect
Information you give us. When you fill out a form on this website, we collect what you choose to share:
- Project inquiries: your name, email, business name, the service you need and your project details, plus any optional details you add, such as phone, location, current website, timeline or budget.
- Call requests: your name, email, the day and time you prefer and anything you tell us about your project.
- Digital product interest: your name, email, the products you are interested in and any message you add.
- Chat messages: anything you type into the chat on this website, plus your name, email or phone number if you choose to share them. Chats may be answered by an automated assistant or by our team.
- Emails you send us and information you share during a project, such as logos, photos, written content and account access you choose to provide.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider may record standard technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type and the pages you view. This helps keep the website secure and working well. We do not add advertising cookies to this website.
03How we use it
- To reply to your messages, including chat messages, and confirm call requests.
- To prepare proposals and quotes for your project.
- To design, build, host and support your website and related services.
- To let you know when the digital products you chose are available. This is not a newsletter, and we only contact you about the products you selected.
- To keep business records, send invoices and meet legal obligations.
- To keep this website secure and fix problems.
05Third-party services
This website loads fonts from Adobe Fonts, which may receive technical information such as your IP address in order to deliver the fonts. The chat on this website is provided by LeadConnector (HighLevel), which processes and stores the messages and contact details you send through it so we can reply and follow up with you. Links to other websites, including our social media pages, are governed by those websites' own privacy policies.
06How long we keep it
We keep your information only as long as we need it for the purposes above. Client records, such as proposals and invoices, may be kept longer when tax and business record laws require it. You can ask us to delete your information at any time, and we will do so unless we are required to keep it.
07Your choices and rights
- Ask what information we have about you.
- Ask us to correct or update it.
- Ask us to delete it.
- Ask us to stop contacting you about digital products or follow-ups.
To make a request, send us a message. Depending on where you live, including Virginia, you may have additional rights under state privacy laws, and we will honor requests as those laws require.
08Security
We use reasonable measures to protect your information, and we limit access to people who need it to work on your project. No website or method of storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
09Children
This website is meant for business owners and adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has shared information with us, email us and we will delete it.
10Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page.
