When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies and is used to improve the website experience and understand how visitors interact with our site.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries and evaluate your project, to communicate with you about our design services, to schedule consultations and provide project proposals, to improve our website and user experience, and to comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
Contact forms. When you send a form on this site, what you enter (name, email, phone, property address and project details, and on the correction-sheet form the file you attach) is emailed to us and stored on our site so we can respond. We use it only to answer your inquiry and keep a record of it.
Analytics providers: Google (Analytics, Ads and Tag Manager), Microsoft (Clarity) and Ahrefs receive the usage data described under Analytics and tags. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Legal requirements. We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal process, such as a court order or subpoena.

Cookies & Analytics
Our website may use cookies, small text files stored on your device, to improve functionality and analyze site usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain features of the website but will not prevent you from contacting us by phone or email.
Analytics and tags
This site uses Google Tag Manager to load Google Analytics 4, which records page views and interactions such as phone taps and form submissions using cookies and similar identifiers. Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing run through the same container, and a Google Ads tag also loads directly on each page. Tag Manager also loads Ahrefs Web Analytics, which records page visits. Microsoft Clarity records how visitors use pages, including clicks and scrolling, to help us improve the site. You can opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, and you can block cookies in your browser settings.
