Use of Creative Work in Our Portfolio
- We reserve the right to display samples of our creative work—including logos, branding, and website designs—in our portfolio, on our website, and in promotional materials.

If you prefer this not be included, you may request its removal in writing and we will respect that request.
Contractors, Passwords & Backups
- We occasionally work with experienced third-party contractors, including some based outside the United States, to support design, development, and marketing tasks. All contractors are bound by non-disclosure agreements and operate under strict confidentiality protocols.
- To further protect client data and proprietary information, we routinely change passwords for internal systems and tools, and we recommend that our clients do the same. We also encourage the use of encrypted password managers to store and share login credentials securely. We also create and store backup files of client projects in secure storage for recovery or future edits, unless otherwise agreed. We take data security seriously and are committed to safeguarding your information while delivering flexible, efficient service.

- Access restricted to authorized personnel only
- No payment information is stored on our servers; all transactions are handled by secure third-party gateways
