PorchPixel Studio (“PorchPixel,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides website strategy, design, development, search foundations, and related services. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through porchpixelstudio.com, our enquiry forms, and direct communications that begin through this website.

We collect only the information reasonably needed to respond to enquiries, assess potential projects, provide services, operate the website, and protect it from misuse.

04

Cookies and technical data

The website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for security, form handling, preferences, and basic operation. We may also use analytics tools to understand aggregate website activity and improve performance.

Where applicable law requires consent, optional analytics or similar non-essential technologies will be used only after the required choice has been provided. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, although blocking essential technologies may affect website functionality.

We do not sell or rent personal information. We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate the website or deliver our services, such as:

• Website hosting and security providers.
• Email, form-processing, and communication providers.
• Analytics and performance providers.
• Professional advisers where reasonably necessary.

These providers may process information only as needed to perform their services. We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect legal rights, or to investigate fraud, abuse, or a security threat.

06

Retention and security

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, including responding to an enquiry, providing services, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards appropriate to the information we handle. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

07

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of certain personal information. You may also have the right to object to particular uses, withdraw consent, or receive a portable copy of information.
