Privacy policy
The short version: we collect what you send us and some basic data about how the site gets used. We use it to reply to you and to make the site better. We do not sell it.
Who we are
Wild Places is a design studio based in Atlanta, Georgia, and a Summit House company. This policy covers www.wildplaces.co. “We” and “us” mean Wild Places.
Questions about any of this go to goto@wildplaces.co.
What we collect
What you send us. The contact form asks for your name, email, company, a budget range, the kind of work you need and a message. The wp.breakpoints sign-up asks for your email. If you email us, we keep that conversation.
How the site gets used. We use Google Analytics, with your permission where the law asks for it. It records pages viewed, the site you came from, your device and browser type, and a rough location based on your IP address.
Which companies visit. We use Leadfeeder, a Dealfront product. It matches a visitor’s IP address to a company name so we can see which businesses are looking at our work. It is built to identify companies, not individual people.
Your consent choice. Consent Pro, by Finsweet, stores the choice you make in the cookie banner and keeps a record of it.
Server logs. Our host, Cloudflare, keeps standard logs such as IP address and time of request to keep the site secure and running.
How we use it
- To reply to your inquiry and scope a project with you.
- To send wp.breakpoints if you signed up for it.
- To see what is useful on the site and improve it.
- To understand which companies are interested in our work.
- To keep the site secure and meet our legal obligations.
We do not sell personal information. We do not run ads on this site, and we do not use your information to target ads on other sites.
Cookies
The site itself works without cookies. These are the ones our tools set:
- fs-consent (Consent Pro). Remembers your cookie choice for up to 12 months. Essential.
- _ga and _ga_JY51PM6ZNP (Google Analytics). Tell one visit from another so we can count traffic. Up to two years. Analytics.
- _lfa and _lfa_expiry (Leadfeeder). Recognize a returning browser for company-level visit data. Up to two years. Marketing.
Cloudflare may also set a short-lived security cookie.
Your choices
What the cookie banner asks depends on where you are, because the rules do.
- EU, UK and most other countries. Analytics and marketing cookies stay off until you accept them.
- US states with a consumer privacy law, plus Mexico, Russia and Singapore. They are on by default. You can reject them or opt out at any time. We honor the Global Privacy Control signal from your browser.
- Nevada. You can tell us not to sell your information. We do not sell it either way.
- Other US states. You get a notice. You can still change your settings at any time.
To change your mind later, use the preferences button in the corner of any page, or open cookie preferences. To leave the wp.breakpoints list, email us and we will take you off it.
Who we share it with
We share information only with the companies that help us run the site and the studio. Each one handles it on our behalf.
- Google. Analytics, Tag Manager and our email.
- Dealfront. Leadfeeder.
- Basin. Processes form submissions.
- Finsweet. Consent Pro, the cookie banner and consent records.
- Cloudflare. Hosting and security.
- Summit House. Our parent company, where needed to respond to your inquiry or run the business.
We may also share information if the law requires it, or as part of a merger or sale of the business.
How long we keep it
We keep inquiries and project conversations for as long as we are working together, and for a reasonable period after. We keep newsletter emails until you unsubscribe. Analytics and visit data follow the retention settings in those tools. Ask us to delete something sooner and we will, unless the law says we have to keep it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- See the personal information we hold about you and get a copy of it.
- Correct it or delete it.
- Object to how we use it, or opt out of analytics and marketing cookies.
- Withdraw consent you gave earlier.
- Appeal our answer if we say no.
Email goto@wildplaces.co and tell us what you need. We may ask a question or two to confirm it is you. We answer within the time your local law requires, and we will not treat you differently for asking.
If you are in the EU or UK, we rely on your consent for analytics and marketing cookies. We rely on our legitimate interest in running a studio to answer inquiries and keep the site secure. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Where it is processed
We are in the United States, and so are most of the services we use. If you visit from another country, your information is processed in the United States.
Security
We limit who can see inquiries and we use established providers with their own safeguards. No system is perfectly secure, so please do not send anything sensitive through the contact form.
Children
This site is for businesses. It is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Other sites
We link to client sites, social profiles and other Summit House studios. Their privacy practices are their own.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top. If the change is a big one, we will say so on the site.
