Privacy Policy | E. Curtis Designs

Effective Date: October 3, 2026

E. Curtis Designs (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates https://www.ecurtisdesigns.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal information when you visit our Site or use our services.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you:

Submit our contact form, which asks for your name, email address, phone number, website URL, and message
Email us or communicate with us about a project
Make a payment for services

Contact form submissions are sent to us by email. They are not stored in our Site’s database.

Our newsletter signup link takes you to a form hosted by Mailchimp. Any information you enter there, such as your email address, is collected and stored by Mailchimp on our behalf and used only to send you our newsletter.

Payments

We accept payments through PayPal. On our Site you enter only the payment amount and a reference, then you are sent to PayPal to complete the transaction. We never see or store your card or bank details. PayPal provides us with basic transaction records, such as your name, email address, and the amount paid.

Automatically Collected Information

We do not use Google Analytics or any other visitor tracking or advertising tools. The information collected automatically when you visit our Site is limited to:

Standard server logs kept by our web hosting provider, which include your IP address, browser type, and the pages requested
Security logs on our Site that record IP addresses tied to failed login attempts, lockouts, and blocked requests
Signals processed by Cloudflare Turnstile and Google reCAPTCHA to tell real visitors apart from bots (described below)

Google Search Console

We use Google Search Console to monitor how our Site appears and performs in Google search results. Search Console reports aggregated search data, such as search terms and click counts. It does not run on our Site, does not set cookies in your browser, and does not give us information that identifies individual visitors.

Security and Bot Protection

Cloudflare Turnstile

We use Cloudflare Turnstile, a security tool from Cloudflare, Inc., to help protect our Site from bots and automated abuse. Turnstile runs when you load a protected part of the Site and checks whether you are a real person. To do this, it processes signals such as your IP address, TLS fingerprint, and browser user-agent, along with the site key and the site it is running on. Cloudflare states that it cannot directly identify individuals from these signals.

Cloudflare processes these signals for us to detect and block bots. Cloudflare also uses them to improve its own bot detection, and for that purpose Cloudflare acts as the data controller. Cloudflare’s handling of this information is described in the Cloudflare Turnstile Privacy Addendum, and Cloudflare’s use of cookies is described in its Cookie Policy.

Google reCAPTCHA

Parts of our Site use Google reCAPTCHA v2 to block spam and automated abuse. reCAPTCHA collects hardware and software information, such as device and browser data, and sends it to Google for analysis. Use of reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Site Security Logging

We use a WordPress security plugin to protect our Site from unauthorized access. It records the IP addresses involved in failed login attempts, lockouts, and blocked requests. These logs are stored on our Site and used only to protect it.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

Respond to your inquiries and provide requested services
Process payments for our web development services
Send our newsletter if you have signed up for it
Maintain records of our business communications
Protect our Site from spam, bots, and unauthorized access
Comply with legal obligations

How We Share Your Information

We share your information only with:

Service Providers: PayPal (payment processing), Mailchimp (newsletter management), Google (business email, reCAPTCHA bot protection), Cloudflare (Turnstile bot protection), and our web hosting provider
Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our legal rights

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Sale of Personal Information

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking cookies may prevent some forms on our Site from working.
