Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 26, 2026  ·  Effective: February 26, 2026

We keep this simple: we collect only what we need to run your project, we don't sell your data, and we use Stripe and Supabase to handle the sensitive parts so we never touch your card details directly.

1. Overview

Balanced Designs ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and your rights regarding that data.

By using our website (agency.balanced-designs.com or app.balanced-designs.com) or our services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. What We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

  • Name and email address (when you submit a contact form or create an account)
  • Company name and website URL (when you sign up for a project)
  • Payment information — handled entirely by Stripe; we never store card numbers
  • Communications you send us (emails, messages, revision feedback)

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • IP address and browser/device type (via Vercel and standard web logs)
  • Pages visited and time on site (via Vercel Analytics)
  • Referral source (how you arrived at our site)
  • Performance data (via Vercel Speed Insights — anonymized)

2.3 Information From Third Parties

  • Stripe may share transaction confirmation data (customer ID, payment status) with us via webhooks
  • We do not purchase or receive data from data brokers

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To deliver our services — building and delivering your demo or full redesign
  • To process payments through Stripe
  • To communicate project updates, revision feedback, and delivery notifications
  • To respond to contact form inquiries
  • To improve our website performance and user experience
  • To comply with legal obligations

4. Who We Share Your Data With

We may also disclose your information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of Balanced Designs or others.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Specifically:

Account and project data is retained for the duration of your engagement and up to 2 years after project completion, in case of warranty or dispute.

Payment records are retained as required by law (typically 7 years for tax purposes).

You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by emailing contact@balanced-designs.com. Deletion may be limited where we are required to retain records by law.

6. Cookies

Our website uses cookies primarily for authentication. Specifically:

Authentication cookies from Supabase allow you to stay logged in across our agency site and client portal (app.balanced-designs.com). These are session-scoped and necessary for the service to function.

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or sell cookie data to third parties.

You may disable cookies in your browser settings, but doing so will prevent you from logging into the client portal.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Access — Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

Correction — Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete data.

Deletion — Request that we delete your account and personal data.

Portability — Request your data in a machine-readable format.

Objection — Object to certain processing of your data.

To exercise any of these rights, email contact@balanced-designs.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure authentication via Supabase, and access controls limiting who can view your project data.

However, no internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. We will notify active clients of material changes via email. Continued use of our services after an update constitutes acceptance.
