Last updated: [Month Year]. This policy explains what information [Business Legal Name] (“we,” “us”) collects through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. This is placeholder legal text — have it reviewed by an attorney before publishing, and fill in the bracketed details.

Information from the contact form

When you submit the contact form on this site, we collect the name, email address, phone number (optional), reason for contact, and message you provide. We use this information only to respond to your inquiry — about a project, a property, or a question you’ve asked. We do not sell this information, and we don’t share it with third parties except [placeholder — e.g. our email provider, which simply delivers the message to our inbox] or as required by law.

Images and media

If you download an image from this site, be aware it may contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS), depending on how the original photo was taken. We try to remove this before publishing, but you should check before re-sharing any photo downloaded from here.

Cookies

This site does not use cookies to track visitors browsing the public pages. The only cookies WordPress sets are functional ones for site administrators logging in to manage content — visitors filling out the contact form or browsing the site do not receive any cookies from us.

This site loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com) to display its typefaces. Loading these fonts sends your browser’s IP address to Google as part of that request; see Google’s privacy policy for details on how they handle that. [Placeholder — if this site switches to self-hosted fonts instead, this paragraph can be removed.]

If analytics, advertising, or other tracking tools are added to this site in the future, this policy will be updated and a cookie consent notice added where required.

Embedded content from other websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content (for example, a map or video). Embedded content from another website behaves exactly as if you had visited that other website directly, and that site may collect data about you, set its own cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.

How we share information

We do not sell personal information. Contact form submissions are emailed to our team through our website host and email provider, which process that data on our behalf to deliver it to us — they don’t use it for their own purposes. We may also disclose information if required to by law.

How long we keep it

Contact form submissions are kept in our email inbox for as long as is useful for following up on your inquiry, and are deleted when no longer needed. We don’t maintain a separate database of visitor submissions beyond our email records.

Your rights over your data

You can ask what personal information we hold about you that you’ve submitted through the contact form, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by emailing us at the address below. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act — reasonable requests will be honored regardless of where you’re located.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time, for example if new features are added to the site. The “last updated” date above will change when it is.

Questions about this policy or a request about your data can be sent to info@example.com.
