Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Briana Leigh Studio ("Studio," "we," "our," or "us") is a Florida-based sole proprietorship operating under the registered fictitious business name Briana Leigh Studio.

We respect your privacy and aim to be transparent about how personal information is collected, used, stored, and shared when you visit our website, contact us, submit a project inquiry, subscribe to communications, purchase digital products, or work with the Studio.

This Privacy Policy explains our practices concerning information collected through our website and Studio-operated services. Third-party storefronts, payment platforms, and external websites may maintain additional privacy policies governing their own processing activities.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect the following information:

Information you provide directly:

• Your first name, last name, and email address.
• Business, brand, or project names and website links.
• Project descriptions, creative preferences, reference materials, budgets, timelines, and inquiry responses.
• Information provided through contact forms, email correspondence, feedback, or other communications.
• Newsletter subscription information and communication preferences.
• Information needed to provide commissioned services, manage projects, deliver products, and maintain business records.

Transaction information:

When you purchase a product or commission a service, we may receive order details, billing information, transaction amounts, invoice records, payment status, and related purchase information.

Payments may be handled by third-party payment processors or storefront platforms. Payment-card details entered through those providers are processed under their own applicable security and privacy practices. We do not request full payment-card numbers through our standard project inquiry forms.

Technical and usage information:

When you access the website, our hosting, security, and other configured technology providers may process information such as IP addresses, browser and device types, pages requested, approximate location derived from IP addresses, timestamps, referring websites, and technical diagnostic data.

The precise information collected depends on the services and tracking technologies enabled on the website.

3. How We Use Information

We use personal information for legitimate business purposes, including:

• Responding to inquiries and providing project information.
• Reviewing project requirements, preparing estimates, and developing proposals.
• Managing client relationships, agreements, project communications, and deliverables.
• Processing transactions, maintaining invoices, and fulfilling purchases.
• Sending requested resources, receipts, administrative messages, and service communications.
• Sending newsletters and promotional communications to recipients who have subscribed or where otherwise permitted by law.
• Maintaining website functionality, security, and performance.
• Investigating technical problems, preventing misuse, and protecting the Studio.
• Maintaining records required for accounting, tax, legal, and contractual purposes.
• Complying with applicable laws and responding to lawful requests.

Submitting a project inquiry does not automatically subscribe you to marketing emails.

Where applicable privacy laws require a specific legal basis for processing, we rely on the relevant basis, which may include performing a contract, taking steps requested before entering a contract, complying with legal obligations, legitimate business interests, or consent.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website and the third-party services integrated with it may use cookies, browser storage, or similar technologies for necessary functionality, such as maintaining website functionality, protecting forms, and preserving certain user preferences or form progress.

If optional analytics, advertising, or other nonessential tracking technologies are enabled, those technologies must be disclosed and managed in accordance with applicable law.

You can generally control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling necessary website storage may affect certain features.

5. How Information Is Shared

We may share information only as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including with:

• Website hosting, infrastructure, and security providers.
• Form-processing, database, and client-management providers.
• Email, newsletter, and communications services.
• Payment processors, invoicing systems, and digital-product storefronts.
• Cloud-storage and project-delivery providers.
• Professional advisers or service providers where reasonably necessary.
• Government authorities, regulators, or other parties where required or permitted by law.

These providers may process information under their own terms and privacy policies.

We do not sell subscriber email lists or disclose personal information to unrelated businesses for their independent marketing merely because someone contacts or commissions the Studio.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to protect legal rights, investigate fraud, enforce agreements, or comply with lawful obligations.

6. Newsletters and Marketing Communications

If you subscribe to a Studio newsletter, we may send creative updates, educational content, resources, product announcements, or promotional communications.

Marketing communications will provide an unsubscribe mechanism. You may also request removal from marketing communications by emailing hello@brianaleighstudio.com.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from sending necessary messages regarding an existing purchase, contract, project, or legal obligation.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Retention depends on factors including:

• Whether an inquiry or client relationship remains active.
• Whether the information is necessary to provide services or complete contractual obligations.
• Applicable accounting, tax, recordkeeping, and legal requirements.
• The need to resolve disputes, protect rights, or maintain appropriate business records.
• Whether a subscriber remains on an active mailing list.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we seek to delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to technical limitations and applicable recordkeeping requirements.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.

However, no website, transmission method, storage provider, or electronic system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, complete payment-card details, medical records, passwords, or other unnecessary sensitive personal information through ordinary project inquiry forms or email.

9. Your Privacy Choices and Requests

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, or information about certain processing activities.

You may also ask us to stop sending marketing communications.

To submit a privacy request, email hello@brianaleighstudio.com with the subject line "Privacy Request."

We may request reasonable information to verify your identity before disclosing or changing personal information. Requests may be limited where retaining information is necessary or permitted by applicable law.

We will respond in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

10. Online Tracking and Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" preference. There is no universally adopted response standard for all such browser signals.

A browser's Do Not Track setting does not automatically disable technically necessary website functions. Where applicable law requires us to recognize specific opt-out preference signals for certain processing activities, we will address those obligations in accordance with that law.

Third-party services integrated into the website may collect technical information according to their configurations and privacy practices. Any use of cross-site advertising or profiling technologies must be separately disclosed where legally required.

11. International Visitors

Briana Leigh Studio operates from the United States and may work with individuals and businesses internationally.

Information may be processed or stored in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate.

If laws in your jurisdiction provide additional privacy protections, those rights will apply to the extent required by law.

12. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact hello@brianaleighstudio.com so we can review and address the matter.

13. External Websites and Third-Party Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, storefronts, creative platforms, social networks, and other services.

Those providers are responsible for their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing information.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our business practices, technologies, services, or applicable legal requirements change.

The effective date displayed above will be updated when changes are published. Material changes may also be communicated through appropriate website notices or other methods when required by law.
