1.2 Services & No Formation of Contract

Information on this website is for general informational purposes only and does not create a binding agreement. Any paid work is governed by a separate written agreement (proposal/contract/invoice) agreed by both parties.

1.3 Professional Disclosures (No Guarantees)

We provide professional design/marketing/development services; however, we do not guarantee specific outcomes (including rankings, revenue, leads, or conversions). Marketing and SEO results depend on many factors outside our control. The FTC recommends that disclosures and qualifiers be clear and conspicuous. 

1.4 Client Responsibilities

If you become a client, you agree to provide timely access, content, approvals, and required assets. Delays in approvals or materials may extend timelines and/or affect pricing as defined in your project agreement.

1.6 Third-Party Platforms & Tools

We may use third-party tools/platforms (e.g., hosting, analytics, forms, scheduling, email providers, payment processors). We are not responsible for outages, changes, or performance issues caused by third parties.

For paid services, liability is limited to the total amount paid under the applicable signed service agreement.

1.10 Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold CarrasStudio harmless from claims arising out of your misuse of the website, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any rights of another party.

2) Privacy Policy

2.1 Information We Collect

We may collect:

  • Contact information: name, email, phone (if you submit a form).

  • Business information: company name, website, project details.

  • Usage data: pages visited, device/browser data, approximate location, referral source, and interactions—often via cookies/analytics tools.

  • Communications: emails/messages you send us.

On-demand web chat: when you choose Chat with us, we load Chatwoot from chatwoot.carrastechnologies.com, operated by CARRAS. It stores a conversation identifier in your browser to continue the chat and sends your messages, the page reference and connection information to our reception infrastructure through Cloudflare. Chat content is not sent to our analytics. Clearing browser data can prevent access to the previous conversation. Chat is separate from optional analytics; you can also contact us by email.

2.2 How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • respond to inquiries and provide quotes/services,

  • communicate about projects and support,

  • improve site performance and security,

  • measure marketing effectiveness (analytics).

We do not sell personal information for money.

2.3 Legal Bases (GDPR-style)

Where GDPR may apply, we process data under:

  • Consent (e.g., optional cookies/marketing),

  • Contract (to deliver requested services),

  • Legitimate interests (site security, basic analytics, business operations),

  • Legal obligations (tax/accounting, compliance).

2.4 Sharing

We may share data with service providers that help operate our business (hosting, analytics, email, forms, scheduling, payment processors). They process data under their own terms and privacy policies.

This website is hosted by Vercel. When you submit the contact form, Vercel processes the request and Resend delivers your name, email address, message and selected service interest to our business inbox. We use that information to respond to your inquiry; submitting the form does not subscribe you to marketing. Booking links open Cal.com, which processes information provided on its service.

2.5 Data Retention

We retain information only as long as needed for business purposes, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and enforcement of agreements. Typical retention:

  • inquiries: up to 24 months,

  • client project records/invoices: as required by law/tax needs,

  • analytics: stored on our infrastructure under the retention criteria above, with protected backups. The 180-day consent period is not a data-retention period.

2.6 Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission/storage is 100% secure.

2.7 Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or portability of your personal data. You may also object or restrict certain processing.

To make a request, contact: contact@carrasstudio.com.

2.8 California Privacy (CCPA/CPRA Notice)

If the CCPA/CPRA applies to our business activities, California residents may have rights to know, delete, correct, and opt-out of certain “sharing”/“selling” of personal information. California regulators highlight the requirement for a clear “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link when a business sells/shares personal information. 

Current practice: CarrasStudio does not sell personal information for money. If in the future we engage in activities that constitute “sale” or “sharing” under California law, we will provide the required opt-out link and mechanisms.

2.9 Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

2.10 International Visitors

If you access the site from outside the U.S., your information may be processed in the United States where privacy laws may differ.

3) Cookie Policy

3.1 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites function and improve user experience.

3.2 Types of Cookies We May Use

  • Essential cookies: necessary for site functionality.

  • Analytics cookies: help us understand site usage (e.g., traffic, pages viewed).

  • Local storage: carrasstudio-consent remembers your analytics choice, configuration version and dates for up to 180 days. It contains no advertising identifier. A previous dismissal of our notice does not count as analytics permission.

  • Marketing cookies (if enabled): help measure campaigns/ads.

3.3 Cookie Consent

With your permission, Umami on Carras-operated servers measures public page paths, language, referring site origin, contact-link clicks and inquiry starts or confirmed submissions. It does not set analytics cookies. We exclude form contents, names, emails, phone numbers, query strings and URL fragments. Cloudflare transports and protects requests to metrics.carrastechnologies.com; it and our server receive connection information such as IP and browser details. Umami uses connection information to derive visit statistics and approximate location. No advertising pixels or session replay are enabled.

3.4 Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through:

  • Privacy settings in the footer: accept or reject analytics with equal prominence, or withdraw permission. We honor GPC and Do Not Track and send no analytics before consent or after withdrawal. Clearing browser data or expiry requires a new choice. These controls do not prevent sending an inquiry,

  • your browser settings (block/delete cookies),

  • third-party opt-out tools (where applicable).
