By using this website or providing information to us, you acknowledge the practices described below.

1. Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to personal information collected from visitors to this website, prospective and current clients, business contacts, and individuals who communicate with the studio by email, telephone, or in person. It does not apply to third-party websites or services linked from this site, which are governed by their own privacy policies.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

  • Contact details: name, company or studio affiliation, email address, telephone number, and mailing address.
  • Brief and inquiry content: design briefs, project descriptions, reference materials, and any files or documents you submit through the contact form or by email.
  • Engagement information: information provided during a design engagement, which may include project specifications, brand materials, technical documentation, and correspondence.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Technical data: IP address, browser type and version, device identifiers, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited.
  • Usage data: date and time of visits, pages viewed, and navigation paths.

2.3 Information From Third Parties

We may receive contact information about prospective clients from referral sources and professional networks. Such information is used solely to respond to or initiate a business relationship.

3. How We Use Information

  • Responding to briefs, inquiries, and commission requests;
  • Evaluating, scoping, proposing, and delivering design engagements;
  • Maintaining project records, correspondence, and archives;
  • Complying with legal, tax, and regulatory obligations;
  • Protecting the security and integrity of our website and systems;
  • Sending administrative communications such as proposals, agreements, and policy updates.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use information submitted through this website for automated decision-making or profiling.

4. Confidentiality of Client Materials

Briefs, reference materials, technical documentation, and unpublished work product shared during an engagement are treated as confidential and used solely to deliver the commissioned services. Confidential materials are not shown to other clients, published, or used in portfolio or promotional contexts without written permission. Engagement-specific confidentiality terms may be further defined in individual agreements or non-disclosure agreements.

5. How We Share Information

We share personal information only in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers: vendors that perform functions on our behalf — website hosting, email delivery, file storage, and accounting — under contractual obligations to protect the information;
  • Engagement requirements: where delivering commissioned work requires sharing information with designated fabricators, printers, or contractors, as agreed with the client;
  • Legal obligations: when required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable government request;
  • Protection of rights: when necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of XSD MGMT, LLC, our clients, or others;
  • Business transfers: in connection with a merger, sale, or reorganization of the studio, subject to continued protection of the information.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, and archival requirements. Project files and engagement records are retained for the period required by applicable law and professional practice; expired records are securely destroyed or anonymized. Contact information for prospective clients who do not engage the studio is retained for a limited period and then deleted.

7. Data Security

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information and client materials against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Access to project files is limited to personnel working on the engagement. No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
