Privacy Policy

Who we are

Studio Germina, LLC is a growth, brand, and commercialization consultancy based in Houston, Texas. This policy explains what information we collect through studiogermina.com, why, and what we do with it. Questions about it can be sent to [email protected].

What we collect

Information you give us. When you submit the consultation form, we receive what you enter: your name, email address, phone number if you provide it, the name of your business, practice, or brand, where you currently show up online, what you are trying to build, what feels stuck, and how you heard about us. We also record the time of submission and technical details of the request, such as an IP address and browser type, to detect abuse.

Information collected automatically. This site uses first-party analytics provided by our website platform, described under "Cookies, pixels and advertising measurement" below. Our server keeps ordinary access logs.

Player preferences. The podcast player stores your current episode and position in your browser's session storage so playback can continue as you move between pages. This stays in your browser, expires when the tab closes, and is never sent to us.

How we use it

To respond to your inquiry and, if there is a fit, to prepare a proposal. To understand how the site is used and improve it. To protect the site from spam and abuse. We do not sell personal information for money.

Who we share it with

Service providers that help us run the site and respond to inquiries, such as hosting, email, and analytics providers, each of which is bound to use the information only on our behalf. Authorities, if the law requires it. Any analytics or advertising tags this site loads are listed under "Cookies, pixels and advertising measurement" below.

How long we keep it

Consultation inquiries are kept for as long as needed to respond and, if an engagement follows, for the life of the relationship and the period our records obligations require. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and then deleted. You can ask us to delete your inquiry at any time.

Cookies, pixels and advertising measurement

What we use. Studio Germina, LLC uses the following technology on studiogermina.com: first-party analytics. Our website platform's measurement tool stores a random identifier in your browser's local storage so visits and sessions can be counted. It does not set advertising cookies. Your IP address is converted into a one-way code that changes every day and is used only to remove duplicate visits; the IP address itself is not stored.

This site does not currently load third-party analytics tags or advertising pixels (such as Google Analytics, the Meta Pixel or the TikTok Pixel), and our servers do not report your actions on this site to advertising platforms. If we add such a tag, we will list it on this page first, and it will not load in a browser that has opted out or that sends a Global Privacy Control signal.

What we do not do. We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not sell or rent our contact lists. We do not use these tools to target ads at children under 13.

Your choices

Your Privacy Choices. The "Your Privacy Choices" link at the bottom of every page is where you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and of targeted advertising. Because this site does not currently load third-party analytics or advertising tags, there is nothing to opt out of today. We treat a Global Privacy Control signal sent by your browser as a request to opt out.

Browser controls. You can block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Blocking them does not stop the site from working.

Your information. You can contact us at [email protected] to access, correct, or delete the information you have given us, and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Analytics retention

Our first-party analytics records are deleted after about 13 months.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live (for example California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Oregon or other states with consumer privacy laws), you may have the right to know what personal information we collect, use and disclose, and get a copy of it; to ask us to correct or delete it; to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and of targeted advertising; and to appeal our decision on your request.

To make a request, email [email protected]. We will verify your request before acting on it, and we will not treat you differently for using these rights. You may use an authorized agent.

Children

This site is intended for professionals and businesses and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be noted on the page itself.
