Privacy Policy | Melsmark

Melsmark, LLC ("Melsmark," "we," "us," or "our") is a creative design studio based in East Bethel, Minnesota. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through melsmark.art (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have.

We keep this simple: we do not sell your personal information, and the information you submit through the Site is used to review and quote your project and to communicate with you about it.

Information We Collect

Information you provide. When you submit our contact or quote form, we collect your first and last name, your email address, and any optional phone number, company name, service of interest, and project details you choose to share. If you email, call, or text us, we receive whatever information you include.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, which set cookies and collect standard usage data such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages you visit, and how you arrived at the Site. This helps us understand how the Site is used and improve it.

How We Use Your Information

To review, prepare, and send project quotes and estimates
To respond to your inquiries and communicate with you about your project
To provide, maintain, and improve the Site and our services
To keep records of our business communications
To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights

We do not use your contact-form information for advertising, and we do not add you to marketing lists without your consent.

We Do Not Sell Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Service Providers

We rely on a small number of trusted third-party providers to operate the Site and our business. They process information only as needed to provide their services to us:

Vercel — website hosting
Neon — database hosting for form submissions
Resend — delivery of notification emails to us
Google (Tag Manager and Analytics) — website analytics

These providers maintain their own privacy practices. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our legal rights.

Cookies and Analytics

The Site uses cookies through Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics using Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Blocking cookies will not affect your ability to submit the contact form.

Data Retention

We keep contact submissions and related communications for as long as needed to evaluate and quote your project, provide our services, and maintain reasonable business records. You may ask us to delete your information at any time (see Your Choices and Rights below).

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices and Rights

You may contact us at info@melsmark.art to:

Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
Ask us to correct or update it
Ask us to delete it

Depending on where you live, including if you are a Minnesota resident, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information. We honor these requests as required by applicable law, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising them.

Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Links to Other Sites

The Site may link to third-party websites, such as our social media profiles. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above, and significant changes will be reflected on this page.
