This Website Privacy Policy explains how Montclair Studios collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit our website, contact us, request a consultation, submit a project inquiry, sign up for updates, or otherwise interact with Montclair Studios online.

This policy covers Montclair Studios’ website and website-based communications. Separate written agreements, statements of work, order forms, or client service terms may govern services we provide to clients.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways.

You may provide information directly to us, including:

• Contact information, such as your name, email address, phone number, company name, job title, and mailing address.
• Project and business information, such as your website URL, brand materials, marketing goals, budget, timeline, industry, project description, preferred services, and other information you choose to provide when requesting a consultation or submitting an inquiry.
• Communications, including messages sent through contact forms, email, phone, social media, or other communication channels.
• Client materials, such as logos, brand assets, photos, videos, creative briefs, copy, files, credentials, or other content you voluntarily provide in connection with a potential or active project.
• Billing and transaction information, if you become a client, such as billing contact details, invoice information, payment status, and related business records. Payment information may be processed by third-party payment processors and is subject to their terms and policies.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your inquiry or project.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the website, we or our service providers may automatically collect:

• IP address;
• browser type and version;
• device type and operating system;
• pages viewed and links clicked;
• referring URLs;
• approximate location inferred from IP address;
• dates and times of visits;
• form interaction data;
• website performance, diagnostics, and security logs;
• Google Analytics identifiers, such as cookies or similar identifiers used by Google Tag / Google Analytics; and
• reCAPTCHA security signals, such as IP address, browser and device information, interaction signals, and other data used to help distinguish legitimate users from spam, abuse, or automated activity.

Google Tag / Google Analytics

We use Google Tag / Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the website, which pages are visited, how the website performs, and which referral sources may be working. Google Tag / Google Analytics may collect information such as IP address, device and browser information, pages viewed, links clicked, referring URLs, approximate location derived from IP address, timestamps, and cookie or similar identifiers.

Google may collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process information collected through Google Tag / Google Analytics according to Google’s Privacy Policy, Google Analytics terms, and other applicable Google policies. Montclair Studios does not control all of Google’s processing and does not make promises about how Google uses information once collected by Google.

Montclair Studios does not intentionally send Google Analytics information that directly identifies a person, such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, payment information, project descriptions, message content, or files submitted through website forms.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use Google reCAPTCHA on contact forms to help protect the website from spam, abuse, fraud, and automated submissions. reCAPTCHA may process device, browser, interaction, and security signals to determine whether a form submission appears legitimate.

Information from third parties

We may receive information from third parties, including:

• analytics, hosting, security, and anti-abuse providers, including Google Tag / Google Analytics and Google reCAPTCHA;
• email, CRM, scheduling, or support tools;
• social media platforms if you interact with our profiles;
• referrals, partners, vendors, or clients; and
• public sources, such as business websites, social profiles, and public directories.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

• operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website;
• respond to inquiries, consultation requests, and support messages;
• evaluate potential projects and communicate about services;
• prepare proposals, estimates, statements of work, and client agreements;
• provide branding, website, marketing, content creation, and related services;
• manage client relationships, billing, project delivery, and business records;
• send service-related communications;

• detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, spam, security incidents, or technical issues;
• comply with legal obligations; and
• protect the rights, safety, and property of Montclair Studios, clients, visitors, vendors, and others.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website may use cookies, pixels, scripts, tags, local storage, log files, and similar technologies for essential website operations, security, performance, analytics, form functionality, and, if enabled in the future, marketing measurement.

Google Tag / Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies, to collect analytics information. Google reCAPTCHA may use cookies or similar technologies to protect contact forms from spam and abuse.

You can learn more in our Cookie Notice and Your Privacy Choices page.

We may disclose information to:

• Service providers and contractors that help us host the website, process forms, schedule consultations, provide analytics, deliver email, operate CRM tools, maintain security, invoice clients, process payments, or provide professional services.
• Google services, including Google Tag / Google Analytics for website analytics and Google reCAPTCHA for spam, abuse, and automated-submission prevention.

5. Sale, Sharing, and Analytics Disclosure

Montclair Studios does not control all of Google’s processing of information collected by Google.

California privacy law defines “sale” and “sharing” broadly.

6. Client Materials and Confidentiality

If you provide project materials before signing a written agreement, we will handle them reasonably, but unsolicited materials are not automatically confidential. Confidentiality obligations apply only if they are stated in a written agreement signed by Montclair Studios or otherwise required by law.

Do not submit trade secrets, unpublished creative ideas, confidential business plans, sensitive data, passwords, payment card numbers, government IDs, health information, or other sensitive information through public website forms.

In general:

• inquiry and contact information may be retained to respond to the request and maintain business records;
• marketing subscription information may be retained until you unsubscribe or we delete the list;
