The fine print · DDC®
What we collect, why we collect it, who else sees it, and how to make us delete it. Short version: we collect very little, we never sell it, and you can ask us to erase it at any time.
Welcome to Daytime Design Co. LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company ("Company," "DDC," "we," "us," or "our"). We value your trust and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your data when you visit www.daytimedesign.co and any related subpages (the "Website").
By accessing or using the Website, you agree to the practices described here. This Policy applies when you:
This Policy does not cover data collected offline, data collected by third-party websites or platforms we link to, or client project data governed by a separate signed services agreement.
We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If you are under 16, please do not submit any personal information to us. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from someone under 16, we will delete it promptly. If you believe we have collected such information, contact us at hello@daytimedesign.co.
We may collect the following categories of personal information:
We do not collect payment or financial information through this Website. Invoicing and payment for design services happen outside the Website through third-party processors, under a separate services agreement.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information, including data revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health conditions, precise geolocation, or biometric data. Please do not send it to us.
When you fill in the contact form, subscribe to the newsletter, reply to an email, or send us files.
Through cookies and similar technologies when you browse the Website, and through our hosting provider's standard server logs.
We do not use your personal information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising in exchange for money.
One caveat worth stating plainly. Some privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act, define "sale" and "share" broadly enough that allowing third-party analytics or advertising cookies on a website can fall inside those definitions. If you would rather no third-party cookies run at all, decline in the cookie notice or use the Cookie Preferences link, and we will treat that as an opt-out of any such sharing.
To opt out of everything at once. Decline in the cookie notice and email hello@daytimedesign.co with the subject line "Privacy request." We will confirm and action it. No forms to chase, no dark patterns.
If you send us content such as a testimonial, review, image, or other creative work through the Website or our social channels, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license to use, modify, distribute, and display that content for marketing and promotional purposes.
Please be aware that anything you share publicly is shared at your own risk. We cannot control how other users or third parties interact with content you post in public.
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights over your personal information. We extend these rights to everyone who asks, regardless of location.
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@daytimedesign.co or use our contact form. We may need to ask a question or two to confirm who you are before we act, and we will not charge you for a reasonable request. We respond within 45 days, and will tell you if we need a single extension of up to 45 additional days.
If we decline your request, we will explain why, and you may appeal by replying to our response. If your appeal is denied, you may lodge a complaint with your state attorney general or applicable data protection authority.
DDC is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act (Minn. Stat. §§ 325M.10 to 325M.21), effective July 31, 2025, gives Minnesota consumers a set of rights over their personal data. As a small studio, we very likely fall below the Act's applicability thresholds. We honor these requests from Minnesota residents anyway.
In addition to the rights listed above, if you are a Minnesota resident you may:
We also recognise universal opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control, as a valid opt-out of targeted advertising and of any sale of personal data.
We keep your personal information only as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected. Enquiries that do not turn into projects are kept for up to two years so we have context if you come back. Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe. Client records are kept for as long as the relationship lasts and afterwards for the period required by tax, accounting, and legal obligations.
You can ask us to delete your data at any time, except where retention is required by law.
We use reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, including encrypted connections, access controls, and reputable third-party providers. No transmission of data over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
This Website recognises and responds to browser-initiated Global Privacy Control signals as an opt-out request. Support for Do Not Track headers is inconsistent across browsers and platforms, so we cannot guarantee that every form of tracking is disabled by one. For more on GPC, see globalprivacycontrol.org.
We are based in the United States and our service providers primarily operate here. If you are located outside the United States, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where those providers operate. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses to make those transfers lawful.
We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or our legal obligations. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the current version. If we make a material change, we will post a notice on the Website and, where we hold your email address for that purpose, let you know by email. Continuing to use the Website after a change indicates your acceptance of the updated Policy.
