Privacy Policy

Shiv's Web Studio is a web design service operated by Shiv Patel. Questions about this Privacy Policy or privacy-related requests can be sent to hello@shivpatel.net.

Shiv's Web Studio may collect information you choose to provide through the website, contact form, email, or linked forms. This may include your name, email address, phone number, business name, business type, website URL, project budget, timeline, and message details.

The website may also receive basic technical information such as browser type, device type, pages visited, referring pages, approximate location, and server logs through hosting, analytics, security, or performance tools if those tools are enabled.

This website may use cookies, analytics tools, hosting logs, or similar technologies to understand website traffic, improve performance, prevent misuse, and see how visitors interact with the site. These tools may collect basic technical information such as device type, browser type, pages visited, referring pages, approximate location, and interaction data.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Some website features may not function as intended if cookies or similar technologies are disabled.

Information is used to respond to inquiries, review project fit, prepare homepage concepts or website recommendations, provide quotes, deliver services, test contact forms, improve the website, and maintain basic business records.

Shiv's Web Studio does not sell personal information. Contact information is not used for unrelated marketing lists unless you specifically opt in or request ongoing communication.

Website form submissions are sent through Resend as an outbound email service. The sender address may appear as Shiv's Web Studio <hello@shivpatel.net>, and the email address submitted by the visitor may be used as the reply-to address so Shiv can respond directly.

Direct emails sent to addresses such as hello@shivpatel.net may be handled separately through email forwarding or a mail provider. Do not send sensitive passwords, payment card numbers, private keys, or highly confidential information through the contact form.

Shiv's Web Studio may use trusted third-party providers for website hosting, email delivery, forms, analytics, deployment, security, and project communication. These providers only receive information needed to perform their services.

If a client chooses third-party tools such as hosting platforms, booking systems, analytics, payment tools, or domain providers, those services are governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

If paid services are purchased, payment may be handled through third-party payment processors, invoice tools, banks, or payment platforms. Shiv's Web Studio does not intentionally collect or store full payment card numbers through this website. Payment providers process payment information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

Information is kept for as long as reasonably needed to respond to inquiries, provide services, maintain records, resolve issues, and meet business or legal obligations.

Reasonable safeguards are used to protect submitted information, but no website, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You may request that Shiv's Web Studio update, correct, or delete personal information associated with your inquiry, subject to reasonable business, legal, or security needs.

You can contact Shiv's Web Studio at hello@shivpatel.net with privacy questions or requests.

This website may link to third-party websites, tools, demos, examples, booking systems, maps, hosting platforms, or other services. Shiv's Web Studio is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of third-party websites. Visitors should review the privacy policies of any external services they choose to use.

This website is intended for business owners and prospective clients. It is not directed to children under 13, and Shiv's Web Studio does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

This Privacy Policy may be updated as the website, services, tools, or legal requirements change. The effective date below will be updated when meaningful changes are made.
