MidState Design (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website MidStateDesign.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website, contact us, or subscribe to our newsletter.

Information We Collect

We may collect information that you voluntarily submit through our website, including:

• Your name.

• Email address.

• Phone number, if you choose to provide it.

• Company or organization name.

• Website address.

• The contents of your message or project inquiry.

• Your email address and subscription preferences when you sign up for our newsletter.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information through our contact form unless we specifically request it.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, our server and website security tools may automatically receive limited technical information, such as:

• IP address.

• Browser and device type.

• Operating system.

• Pages viewed and approximate time of access.

• Referring website.

• Information contained in server and security logs.

• Other technical information used by our security and spam-prevention systems.

Limited analytics information may also be collected to measure general website traffic and usage patterns. Our analytics systems do not store visitors’ IP addresses. Analytics data is not used for behavioral advertising.

We use this information for website operation, security, troubleshooting, abuse prevention, spam prevention, threat detection, general site administration, and website improvement. We do not use it for behavioral advertising.

How We Use Information

We may use the information we collect to:

• Respond to questions, requests, and project inquiries.

• Communicate with you about services you request.

• Provide and improve our website and services.

• Understand general website traffic and usage patterns.

• Send newsletters or other marketing communications when you have requested or consented to receive them.

• Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and unauthorized activity.

• Maintain website, hosting, and information security.

• Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

We do not sell your personal information.

Contact Forms

If you submit our contact form, we use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry and communicate with you about your request.

Your submission may be transmitted by email, stored by our website or hosting system, and retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to you, provide services, maintain business records, resolve disputes, or comply with legal obligations.

Newsletter Subscriptions

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will collect your email address and any other information requested in the subscription form.

We use MailPoet to manage newsletter subscriptions and deliver email communications. Your information may be processed by that provider under its own privacy policy.

You may unsubscribe at any time by:

• Clicking the unsubscribe link in any newsletter; or

• Contacting us at midstatedesign@gmail.com.

After you unsubscribe, we will stop sending emails to that address, although we may retain limited suppression information to ensure that we do not accidentally send you future newsletters.

Cloudflare Turnstile

We use Cloudflare Turnstile to help protect our contact forms, comment forms, and subscription forms from spam, automated abuse, and malicious activity.

Turnstile evaluates technical signals from your browser or device, which may include your IP address, user-agent information, TLS fingerprint, website origin, and related security signals. Cloudflare states that Turnstile uses these signals to distinguish human visitors from automated traffic and does not use them to identify, profile, or target individuals for advertising. Turnstile does not access, store, or transmit the contents of form submissions or other page inputs.

Use of Turnstile is subject to Cloudflare’s Turnstile Privacy Addendum and Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.

CleanTalk and MagicSpam

We use third-party spam-prevention and security services, including CleanTalk and MagicSpam, to help detect and prevent spam, automated abuse, malicious activity, and unauthorized submissions.

These services may process technical information associated with website visits or form submissions, such as your IP address, browser and device information, user-agent data, website address, form-submission details, and other information used to evaluate whether activity may be abusive, fraudulent, or unauthorized. This information may be transmitted to or processed by these providers in accordance with their respective privacy policies.

For more information, please review:

• CleanTalk Privacy Policy

• MagicSpam Privacy Policy

Website Security

Our website and hosting systems use security tools to help detect and prevent malware, unauthorized access, malicious activity, abuse, and other security threats.

In connection with these security functions, our security systems may process technical information such as IP addresses, requested URLs or URI paths, browser information, screen-resolution data, and other location and browser metadata. This information is used for security monitoring, threat detection, abuse prevention, and responding to potential security incidents.

Privacy-Focused Analytics

We use analytics tools operated by MidState Design to understand how visitors use our website and to improve its content, performance, and usability. These tools include in-house analytics and the free version of the Independent Analytics WordPress plugin.

Independent Analytics operates within our WordPress website and stores analytics data in our website’s database. According to the plugin’s published information, it does not communicate with external analytics servers, does not use cookies, and does not save personal data. The plugin may use technical information and a fingerprinting technique to generate a unique ID for recognizing repeat visitors.

Our analytics systems may collect limited, non-sensitive usage and technical information, such as pages viewed, approximate time of access, referring website, browser and device type, operating system, screen size, general geographic information, and visit or session data. Our analytics systems do not store visitors’ IP addresses and are not used for behavioral advertising or tracking visitors across unrelated websites.

We do not sell or share analytics information with third parties for their own advertising or marketing purposes.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for website operation, security, form functionality, preferences, or session management.

Independent Analytics does not use cookies for its analytics functions. It may use technical information and a temporary or unique identifier to distinguish visits or recognize repeat visitors.

We do not use Google Ads, advertising cookies, or similar technologies for behavioral advertising.

Our website may also use cookies or collect technical data associated with services used to operate the site, such as our server, content management system, security tools, contact form system, newsletter signup system, or analytics systems.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the operation of some website features.

How We Share Information

We may share personal information with service providers that help us operate our business and website, including:

• Service providers that help us operate, secure, maintain, and back up our website and systems.

• Email and newsletter delivery providers.

• Website security and spam-prevention providers, including Cloudflare, CleanTalk, and MagicSpam.

• Professional advisers, government authorities, or other parties when required by law or necessary to protect our rights.

We do not sell personal information or share it with third parties for their own advertising purposes.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, providing services, maintaining business and security records, honoring unsubscribe requests, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal information. However, no website, email transmission, server, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
