This Privacy Policy explains how ClarwareStudio handles information when you browse the website, ask about a project, apply for a role, or join our update list. We keep collection limited to what is needed to operate the site, respond clearly, and improve our services.

Information we collect

We may collect information you choose to send through the website, including:

• Your name, email address, subject, message, and the page related to a project or general inquiry.
• Reference IDs, status history, support replies, and related notes used to track project requests, contact concerns, and applications.
• Career application details such as role interest, location or timezone, availability, experience level, portfolio links, background, tools, skills, and work style.
• Your email address when you join the newsletter or launch update list.
• Technical request data needed to deliver and protect the site, such as IP address, request headers, browser information, timestamps, and rate-limit checks.

How we use information

We use submitted information to:

• Reply to project inquiries, service questions, partnership messages, and support requests.
• Review career applications and contact candidates whose experience may match current or future roles.
• Send requested newsletter or launch updates.
• Prevent spam, abuse, repeated automated submissions, and other misuse of the website.
• Maintain internal records about conversations, applications, and business opportunities.
• Provide status lookup pages so you can track the progress of submitted requests using your reference ID.

Forms and email delivery

Contact, career, and newsletter forms are sent to ClarwareStudio by email. Depending on our configuration, form messages may be delivered through the Clarware Studio SMTP mail system and stored in our secured hosting environment for delivery testing. We do not sell form submissions or newsletter addresses.

Cookies and analytics

The current website is designed to work without behavior-tracking analytics. We may still use strictly necessary technologies required for security, hosting, form submission, rate limiting, or basic site functionality. See our Cookie Policy for more detail.

Sharing information

We share information only when needed to operate the website, communicate with you, provide services, comply with legal obligations, protect our rights, or work with trusted service providers. Examples may include website hosting, email delivery, domain infrastructure, security tools, and collaboration tools used by our team.

Retention

We keep inquiry and application information only for as long as it is useful for the purpose it was submitted, for legitimate business records, or as required by law. Newsletter email addresses are kept until you ask us to remove them or unsubscribe where that option is available. Reference IDs and their status history may be retained as business records so prior requests can still be checked later.

Your choices

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information you previously submitted. We may need to verify your request before making changes, and some information may be retained if required for security, legal, or legitimate business reasons.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information submitted through the site. No internet transmission or storage method is perfectly secure, so please avoid sending passwords, payment card data, government IDs, or highly sensitive information through open text fields.

Children

This website is intended for business, portfolio, hiring, and professional communication. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Updates

We may update this policy when our website, services, forms, or legal requirements change. The latest version posted on this page will apply from the time it is published.
