The fine print
Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 13, 2026
Namostee Design Studio (“Namostee,” “we,” “us”) is a design studio in Frederick, Maryland. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through namostee.com (the “Site”) and in the course of our work, how we use it, and the choices you have. It is effective November 13, 2026.
1. Information we collect
- Inquiries. When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, phone number, business name, what you’re interested in, a budget range, and your message. The form is delivered to our email inbox by FormSubmit, a form-delivery service.
- Communications. Anything you send us by email, phone or message while we work together.
- Project materials. Files and content clients share for their projects — for example logos, photos, text, and account details you choose to share for setup work.
- Technical basics. Our hosting provider (Google Firebase) keeps standard server logs — things like IP address, browser type and time of visit — to run and secure the Site.
- Payments. If you pay us, payment is handled by payment processors. We do not store full card numbers.
2. How we use it
We use the information we collect to: respond to your inquiries; provide, manage and support our services; send proposals, invoices and project updates; operate, maintain and improve the Site and our services; and keep business and tax records and comply with the law. We do not use your information for third-party advertising.
3. What we never do
We never sell your personal information. We do not rent it, and we do not share it with marketers.
4. Who processes or receives it
Only the providers we need to run the studio receive information, and only as needed:
- FormSubmit — delivers contact-form messages to our email.
- Google — Firebase hosts the Site, and Google services power our email and, for clients who choose it, Google Workspace.
- Payment processors — when you pay us.
- Professional advisors — such as accounting or legal advisors, under obligations of confidentiality.
- Authorities — if legally required.
These providers process information under their own privacy policies.
5. Cookies
This Site does not use tracking or advertising cookies. See our Cookie Policy for the short, complete story.
6. How long we keep it
We keep inquiry and client information as long as reasonably needed for our relationship and for business, tax and legal records, and then delete or anonymize it. If you’d like your inquiry information deleted sooner, just ask.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the information we hold, consistent with the Maryland Personal Information Protection Act, and we will notify affected individuals of a data breach as that law requires. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your choices and rights
Email hello@namostee.com to ask what personal information we hold about you, or to request a correction or deletion. We’ll respond within a reasonable time and honor requests as required by applicable law. You can also ask us at any time to stop contacting you about our services.
9. Children’s privacy
Our services are for businesses, and the Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13; if you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we’ll post the new version on this page with a new “Last updated” date, and significant changes will be noted on this page.
