Privacy Policy
1Who we are
This site is run by ARTRIXSTUDIO LLC, registered in the State of California. For anything in this policy, write to hihi@artrixstudio.com.
2What this website collects
Short version: almost nothing. Apart from the visit records described next, there is no analytics, no advertising pixel and no cookie. The one thing stored is your light/dark preference, kept in your own browser so the page does not flash the wrong theme next time. It never leaves your device and we cannot read it.
Concept pages and our homepage are the exceptions. When we make a concept for a company and
send it to them, it lives at its own address under artrixstudio.com/p/. Those pages, and their
screenshot pages, tell our own server when they are opened: the time, which page, how long it stays
open on screen, how far down it is scrolled, which of its links or buttons are clicked, the width of
the browser window, whether it is a phone or a computer, and the site the link was opened from (its
address only). We use this to know whether the person we wrote to has seen it, so we don’t
follow up blindly. The IP address and browser details are not stored; they become short one-way codes,
made with a secret key, so we can tell one device or connection from another, and leave out our own
visits, without keeping the address itself. No
cookie is set, nothing goes to another company, the record sits in a private folder on our host, and
we delete it within 12 months. Our homepage keeps the same kind of record, plus the short tag some of
our own links carry (for example ?src=newsletter), so we know which of our channels brings
visitors. The rest of this site records nothing of the kind.
Nothing on this site loads from another company. The typefaces and code libraries are served from our own server, so opening a page does not tell Google, Cloudflare or anyone else that you were here. Our host, HostGator, keeps standard server logs — IP address, page requested, time — for security, to keep the site running, and to show us aggregate figures: how many people read a page, and which site they arrived from. That summary is produced by the host from those logs; nothing is added to the page to make it happen, and no third party sees it. We do not use those logs to identify or follow anyone.
3What we collect when you get in touch, and when you become a client
If you use the form on our start page, we receive what you type in it — your name, work email, company website, what you need and anything you add — by email on our own domain, with a copy kept in a private folder on our host that is closed to the web. It goes to no other company. To prepare a reply we then look at your company’s public website ourselves.
If you email us we hold what you send — your name, address, what you tell us about the work, and any attachments — and use it to reply and, if we work together, to do the work. As a client we also hold the brief and files you give us, our correspondence and billing records. When we build an automation, we work inside your own n8n and accounts; the data it moves stays in your tools, and we see it only as far as testing the build needs. We never see or store your full card number. We do not sell or rent any of it, and we do not add you to a marketing list you did not ask for.
4Who else processes it
| Provider | What it handles |
|---|---|
| HostGator | Email on our own domain, and the hosting for this site. |
| Stripe | Card and ACH payments, invoices and billing records. Stripe holds your payment details; we never see your full card or account number. |
| Notion | The shared board where client requests, status and feedback live. |
| Google Drive | Working files and final deliverables, shared only with the email addresses you name — never as an open link. |
| Design tools — Adobe Creative Cloud, Canva, Framer and similar | The tools the work is made in. Your brief, files and brand assets pass through them while we work. |
| AI tools | Used to speed up production. They are run by other companies under their own data terms, which we do not control. Only public material goes into them, such as your live site or published copy. Private or confidential material — your numbers, unreleased products, anything not yet public — never does. Which tools, on request. |
| Contractors | Only when the workload needs it: designers or developers we have vetted and worked with before, helping with production under written confidentiality agreements. They never handle confidential material, and each sees only what their task needs. |
We are US-based and so are most of our providers, so if you are outside the US your information is processed there. A vetted contractor who helps with production may work in another country; they never handle confidential material and receive only what their task needs, under contract. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
5How long we keep it
Inquiries that go nowhere: deleted within 12 months. Concept-page visit records: deleted within 12 months. Client files and correspondence: kept for the engagement and 24 months after, or sooner if you ask. Invoices: kept as long as tax law requires, typically seven years — we cannot delete these on request.
6Your rights
Wherever you are, you can ask us to show you what we hold, correct it, delete it or send you a copy. One email is enough, there is no charge, and we respond within 30 days.
UK and EU: you have the GDPR rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. Our legal bases are performing our contract with you, our legitimate interest in answering inquiries and in knowing whether a concept we sent was seen, and legal obligation for financial records. You may complain to your local supervisory authority. California — as we are — you have the right to know, delete, correct and not to be discriminated against for asking.
7Security, children, and changes
The accounts we run for client work are access-controlled, with multi-factor authentication turned on wherever the service offers it, and files are shared only with the email addresses you name, never as an open link. Contractors get access to a project's files only while they are working on it. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affected your information we would tell you and the relevant authority as the law requires.
This is a service for businesses. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.
If this policy changes materially we update the date above and, for clients, say so by email.
