PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: July 8, 2026
Effective Date: July 8, 2026
PAI DESIGN LLC operates the website paidesignllc.com. We respect the privacy of individuals who interact with our business, and we are committed to handling your personal data responsibly. By accessing or using our Service, you accept and consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please discontinue your use of our website immediately.
1. Information We Collect
To ensure you experience our services seamlessly and to manage our client discovery process, we collect both information you actively provide to us and information collected passively through our website infrastructure.
A. Information You Give Us
When you interact with our website forms (such as our interactive Mad-Libs discovery intake form), we collect the specific information you enter. This includes:
First and Last Name
Business / Company Name
Email Address
Phone Number (Optional)
Project Budgets, Timelines, and Brief Notes
B. Information We Automatically Collect
When you browse or interact with paidesignllc.com, our servers and integrated analytics platforms automatically capture data from your device. This data includes:
Anonymized IP addresses and inferred geographic location
Browser metadata, operating system version, and device type
Usage & Session Data: Pageviews, timestamps, referral source (how you arrived at our site), button clicks, and scrolling behavior.
2. Cookies and Third-Party Tracking Technologies
We utilize cookies and page tags (such as Google Analytics 4 tracking scripts) to collect aggregated, anonymized statistics about our web traffic. Cookies are small data packets stored on your local browser that allow us to recognize repeat visitors, measure website performance, and optimize our visual layout.
Google Analytics 4 (GA4):
We have implemented Google Analytics features to examine usage trends and measure marketing efficiency. Google Analytics processes data under its own secure enterprise protocols. We do not store your raw analytics data locally on our servers.
Do Not Track (DNT) Signals:
We do not currently alter our practices in response to browser "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals, as there is no uniform global technical standard for interpreting them. However, you can manage your data preferences via your browser settings or utilize the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On to prevent your data from being used.
3. How We Use Your Information
PAI DESIGN LLC uses the collected data strictly for legitimate business operations:
To Evaluate Projects & Communicate: To review inbound project inquiries, verify budgets, and contact you via email or scheduled video calls regarding our design services.
To Improve Our Service: To analyze traffic patterns, monitor engagement trends, and upgrade our website layout and portfolio delivery systems.
To Ensure Security: To detect, investigate, and prevent malicious actions, fraudulent behaviors, or security incidents directed at our platform.
4. Third-Party Sharing & Data Protection
No Sale of Data: We do not sell, lease, trade, or distribute your personal or sensitive data to third-party data marketplaces, advertisers, or corporate aggregators.
Service Providers: We share anonymized traffic and button-click data with Google LLC strictly to power our GA4 analytics tools.
Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required to do so by applicable federal or state law, regulation, court order, or a valid legal subpoena.
Corporate Restructuring: If PAI DESIGN LLC undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred to the successor entity to ensure continuity of service.
5. Data Security & Retention
Security Measures: We use commercially reasonable, industry-standard digital protections to secure your personal data. However, no method of internet transmission or digital storage is 100% secure. You transmit all data to us at your own risk.
Data Retention: Direct contact details submitted through our forms are retained indefinitely for legal record-keeping, accounting, and ongoing client relations. Anonymized website analytics data captured via GA4 is automatically purged according to standard platform retention parameters (typically 14 months).
6. Children's Privacy
Our Service is not intended or designed for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal or sensitive information from anyone under 16 years old. If we discover that a child under 16 has submitted data to us without parental consent, we will remove that information from our database immediately.
7. Your Data Rights & Corrections
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, restrict, or request the deletion of your personal data. Because we do not use tracking profiles that link back to identifiable individuals unless you fill out a form, any request regarding automated analytics must include your specific browser cookie ID identifier. To exercise your data rights or update your records, please email our team at the address listed below.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or our operational workflows. Any revisions will take immediate effect upon posting to this page, marked by the "Last Updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this document periodically.
