Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
What we collect
- Account info — when you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile photo from Google.
- Designer applications — company/studio name, website, portfolio links, a bio, a profile photo, and a sample cover image, all submitted voluntarily when applying to be listed.
- Newsletter signups — your email address and the date you subscribed, if you opt in.
- Essential cookies— a session cookie (to keep you signed in) and a cookie that keeps the homepage's randomized cover order stable while you browse and paginate. Neither is used for advertising or tracking across other sites.
- Analytics— we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, how you got here, rough geography). Google Analytics sets its own cookies for this. We use it only in aggregate to improve the site, never to identify you, and we don't use it for advertising.
- On-site activity counts— we record which pages, designer profiles and covers get viewed, so designers can see interest in their work and we can see what's popular. This uses a random id stored in a cookie purely to avoid counting the same browser twice. It contains no personal information, isn't linked to your account or shared with anyone, and never follows you to other sites. Contact-form messages are counted, but the message itself is only sent to the designer — we don't store it.
How we use it
To operate the designer directory (displaying approved designers and their covers), review and respond to applications, and — only if you opt in — send occasional newsletter updates.
Who we share it with
Google, as our sign-in provider and as our analytics provider (Google Analytics). Sender.net, as our email delivery provider for the optional newsletter. We don't sell or share your data with anyone else.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct, or delete your data at any time, and you can unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link in any email we send. Contact us at [email protected] for any of this.
