Your trust matters. This policy explains, in plain language, what we collect through this site and questionnaire, how we use it, and the control you have over it.
This policy is provided for transparency and is not legal advice. If your business serves clients in regions with specific privacy laws (such as California or the EU), have a qualified attorney confirm this meets your obligations.
This Privacy Policy explains what information Chicago Brand Studio ("CBS," "we," "us") collects through this website, how we use it, and how we protect it. We keep this simple because our approach is simple: we only collect what we need to talk with you and do your work, and we never sell it.
When you fill out the brand questionnaire, a contact form, or email us, we collect what you choose to share, which may include:
Our host and service providers may collect basic technical data such as IP address and browser type for security and to serve the site. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address in order to deliver those fonts. We do not run advertising trackers.
We use your information only to respond to you, understand your project, provide our services, and communicate about your work. We do not use it for advertising, and we do not sell, rent, or trade it to anyone.
A few trusted providers help us run the studio:
These providers process data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
This site does not use advertising or behavioral-tracking cookies, and we do not sell data to advertisers. Any cookies present are limited to what's needed for the site to function.

We keep your information for as long as needed to work with you and maintain our business records. You may ask us to delete your information at any time, and we will do so unless we're required to keep it.
You can request a copy of the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Just email us. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the CCPA or GDPR.
