Information we may collect

Information you provide

• Contact and inquiries: name, email address, phone number, project details, and other fields you submit through contact forms, review forms, newsletter sign-ups, or similar.
• Design brief tool: if you use our interactive brief builder, the information you enter may be processed to generate or store your brief. Draft answers may be saved in your browser (see below).

Information collected automatically

• Usage and diagnostics: we use analytics and error-monitoring services that may record pages viewed, approximate location, device type, and technical events. These help us understand traffic and fix issues.
• Server logs: our hosting infrastructure may log IP addresses, timestamps, and request metadata for security and reliability.

Cookies and similar technologies

Yes — this website uses cookies and similar technologies as part of normal operation. In particular:

• Essential / functional: cookies and storage needed for the site to work securely (for example session continuity where applicable).
• Analytics: we use Google Analytics 4 (via Google Tag / gtag) to understand how visitors use the site. Google may set cookies such as _ga to distinguish sessions and remember preferences. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Vercel Analytics: our hosting provider may use cookies or local storage for privacy-friendly, aggregated web analytics. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.
• Error monitoring: if enabled, Sentry may collect technical diagnostics when errors occur. See Sentry's Privacy Policy.

Browser storage (not HTTP cookies): the design brief builder may save progress in your browser's localStorage so you do not lose your work. This data stays on your device unless you clear it or we provide a sync feature.

Why we use this information

• To respond to inquiries and provide architectural services.
• To operate, secure, and improve the website and user experience.
• To measure audience and marketing effectiveness where applicable.
• To comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes.

WhatsApp and third-party platforms

If you contact us via WhatsApp or follow links to social networks (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.), those platforms process your data under their own policies. We only receive what you send us through those channels.

Retention

We retain messages and form submissions only as long as needed to handle your request, manage our relationship with you, and meet legal or business requirements. Analytics data may be retained according to Google, Vercel, and Sentry settings.

Security

We use industry-standard measures such as HTTPS for data in transit. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, or to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights or ask questions, contact us at the email above. You can also use browser settings to block or delete cookies, though some features may not work as intended.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
