This Privacy Policy explains how Brand You Studios collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information through brandyoustudios.com and our services, and describes the privacy rights and choices available to you.

1. Introduction & Scope

Brand You Studios [insert exact legal entity name, e.g., Brand You Studios, LLC] (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information when you visit brandyoustudios.com (the “Site”), contact us, or use our services (the “Services”), and the rights and choices you have.

This Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Service. By using the Site or the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site or the Services. This Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties we do not control, or to personal information we process on behalf of our business clients, which is addressed in Section 13.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

Information you provide to us. Your name, business name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and the contents of messages, form submissions, booking or intake details, project materials, and any other information you choose to provide when you contact us, request a quote, book Services, or communicate with us.

Payment information. When you pay for Services, payment is processed by our third-party payment processor. We do not store full payment card numbers; we may receive limited billing details such as the last four digits, transaction confirmations, and billing contact information.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our providers may automatically collect device and usage information such as IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, referring pages, and interactions, using cookies and similar technologies (see Section 3).

Information from third parties. We may receive information from platforms and providers we use, such as social media, advertising, and analytics platforms, and from our customer-relationship and marketing platform, consistent with those parties’ terms.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We and our service providers use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to operate and secure the Site, remember your preferences, understand how the Site is used, and support marketing and advertising. This may include analytics tools (such as Google Analytics), advertising pixels (such as those provided by Meta or Google), and tracking provided through our marketing and CRM platform.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of certain advertising cookies through the platforms’ own tools and industry opt-out pages. Some features of the Site may not function properly if you disable cookies. Where required by law, we will seek consent for non-essential cookies.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to: provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Site and Services; respond to your inquiries and communicate with you about your projects and account; process bookings and payments; send administrative and, where permitted, marketing communications (see Section 6); personalize and measure our marketing and advertising; analyze usage and improve the Site and Services; protect the security and integrity of our business, prevent fraud, and enforce our Terms; and comply with legal obligations and exercise or defend legal claims. We may de-identify or aggregate information and use it for any lawful purpose.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share personal information as follows:

Service providers. With vendors and subprocessors that perform services for us, such as website and CRM platforms (for example, GoHighLevel), hosting and infrastructure providers, payment processors, email and SMS providers, and analytics and advertising platforms, who are permitted to use the information only to provide services to us.

Advertising partners. With advertising and analytics platforms that help us market our Services. Depending on your jurisdiction, some of this activity may be considered “targeted advertising” or a “sale” or “share” of personal information under applicable law; you may opt out as described in Section 9.

Legal and safety. When we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with law or legal process, to enforce our Terms, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our clients, or others.

Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, in which personal information may be transferred as a business asset.

We do not knowingly sell the personal information of, or engage in targeted advertising toward, individuals we know are under the age of 18.

6. Marketing Emails & Text Messages

If you opt in, we may send you marketing communications by email and, where you provide your mobile number and agree, by SMS text message. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies.

You can opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in the message, and you can opt out of marketing texts by replying STOP (or reply HELP for help). You may still receive non-marketing, service-related messages about your account or projects. We handle marketing communications in accordance with applicable law, including the CAN-SPAM Act and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). We do not share personal information collected for SMS with third parties for their own marketing.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide the Services, maintain business records, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we will delete, anonymize, or de-identify it, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

8. How We Protect Your Information

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that we consider reasonable to protect personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for unauthorized access to or use of information that occurs despite our reasonable safeguards or that results from events outside our reasonable control.

9. Your Privacy Rights & Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information. Texas residents, under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), and residents of other states with comparable laws, may have the right to:

confirm whether we process your personal information and access it;

correct inaccuracies in your personal information;

request deletion of your personal information;

obtain a portable copy of the personal information you provided; and

opt out of (a) targeted advertising, (b) the “sale” of personal information, and (c) profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

We do not process “sensitive” personal information without your consent where consent is required by law.

How to exercise your rights. Submit a request using the contact details in Section 15. We will verify your request using the information we have and may ask for additional information to confirm your identity. We will respond within the time required by applicable law (under the TDPSA, generally within 45 days, with a possible 45-day extension). We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Appeals. If we decline to act on your request, you may appeal by contacting us at the address in Section 15. If we deny your appeal, the TDPSA allows you to contact the Texas Attorney General to submit a complaint.

Authorized agents. Where permitted by law, you may use an authorized agent to submit a request; we may require verification of the agent’s authority.

10. Do Not Track & Opt-Out Preference Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no common industry standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, our Site does not currently respond to them. Where required by applicable law, we will honor recognized opt-out preference signals (such as the Global Privacy Control) as a request to opt out of targeted advertising or the sale of personal information for the browser or device from which the signal is sent.

11. Third-Party Links & Services

The Site and Services may contain links to, or integrations with, third-party websites, platforms, and services that we do not own or control. This Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites or services you use.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Site and Services are intended for adults and for business purposes, and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under the minimum age required by applicable law). If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us using the details in Section 15, and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

13. Data We Process on Behalf of Our Clients

When we provide Services to our business clients — such as managing their social media, building or hosting their websites, or running their email or SMS campaigns — we may process personal information about their customers, leads, and end users. In that role, our client is the controller of that information and is responsible for its collection and use, including providing any required privacy notices and obtaining any required consents; we act as a processor or service provider and use that information only to provide Services to the client and as instructed by the client, consistent with applicable law. If you interact with one of our clients, that client’s own privacy policy governs their handling of your information, and requests about that information should be directed to the client.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date above and post the updated Policy on the Site. Material changes may be communicated by additional means where required by law. Your continued use of the Site or Services after the updated Policy takes effect constitutes your acknowledgment of the changes. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
