MWD Websites (“me”, “I”, or “my”) operates https://www.mwdwebsites.com and provides web design, web hosting, and search engine optimization (SEO) services. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your information when you use my Website or services.

Information I Collect

When you interact with my Website, I may collect personal information that you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, business details, or any information submitted through contact forms or direct communication.

I also collect certain information automatically when you browse my Website, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and general usage data. This helps us understand how visitors use my site and improve overall performance.

How I Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve my business. This includes responding to inquiries, managing client relationships, delivering web design, hosting, and SEO services, and processing payments where applicable.

I may also use your information to communicate updates, provide support, or send occasional marketing messages. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

My Website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance user experience and analyze traffic. These tools allow us to remember preferences, understand how visitors interact with the site, and improve functionality.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect how certain features work.

Third-Party Services

To operate my business efficiently, I rely on trusted third-party providers. These may include website hosting services, analytics tools such as Google Analytics, and payment processors such as Stripe.

These providers may process limited personal information strictly on my behalf and are required to handle your data securely. I do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Payment Processing

If you make a purchase or pay for services, your payment information is handled securely through third-party payment processors. I do not store full credit card details on my servers.

Data Security

I take reasonable steps to protect your personal information using appropriate technical and organizational safeguards. While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Data Retention

I retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide my services, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to access, update, or delete your data, as well as the right to restrict or object to certain processing activities.

For users in the European Economic Area, these rights are governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For California residents, rights may apply under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). I do not sell personal data and honor valid data requests in accordance with applicable laws.

International Data Transfers

Because I operate online, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your local jurisdiction, including the United States. I take appropriate steps to ensure your data remains protected.

Third-Party Links

My Website may include links to external websites. I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites.

Children’s Privacy

My services are not intended for children under the age of 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
