Who we are

 
Our website address is: https://clawprint.life. We are Clawprint Life LLC, a graphic design consultancy registered at Bishop Ranch 3, San Ramon, CA 94583, USA. You can contact us via email at design@clawprint.life. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you interact with our website or use our design services.
 

Comments

 
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form (e.g., name, email address, comment text) as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This data is used solely to detect and prevent spam.
 
An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you have an active Gravatar profile. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if linked to Gravatar) will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
 

Media

 
If you upload images to the website (e.g., reference materials for design projects, comment attachments), avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in the files. Visitors to our site may download and extract any location data from images you upload. For design project submissions, we recommend removing EXIF data before sharing sensitive visual assets.
 

Cookies

 
We use cookies to enhance your experience on clawprint.life, with no unnecessary tracking. Here’s how we use them:
 
  • If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies expire after one year and eliminate the need to re-enter your details for future comments.
  • When you visit our website, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
 
We do not use cookies for user registration, login, or content editing (our site does not offer user accounts or content publishing features for visitors). You can disable non-essential cookies via your browser settings, though this may limit some site functionality.
 

Embedded content from other websites

 
Our website may include embedded content (e.g., design portfolio videos, case study images, or third-party design resource links) from external platforms. Embedded content behaves the same way as if you have visited the original website.
 
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This includes tracking your activity if you are logged into an account on their platform. Clawprint Life LLC is not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites.
 

Who we share your data with

 
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:
 
  • Automated spam detection services (to screen comments for malicious content).
  • Trusted service providers assisting with our core operations (e.g., payment processors for design project fees, as outlined in our Terms & Conditions) – these providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.
  • Legal authorities if required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights, property, or the safety of our clients and users.
 
We do not share your IP address or personal data for password resets, as our website does not offer user registration or password reset functionality.
 

How long we retain your data

 
  • Comments and their metadata are retained for 2 years. This allows us to automatically approve follow-up comments and maintain a record of client/visitor interactions for support purposes.
  • Design project-related data (e.g., reference materials, client communication, project files) is retained for 2 years after project completion, in line with our legal and administrative obligations.
  • Temporary cookies (browser acceptance checks) are discarded immediately after you close your browser. Opt-in comment cookies expire after one year.
 
We do not retain data from user registrations, as our site does not offer account creation for visitors.
 

What rights you have over your data

 
If you have left comments on our site or engaged our design services, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
 
  • Request an exported file of all personal data we hold about you, including comments, project communication, and submitted materials.
  • Request the erasure of your personal data, except for data we are legally required to retain (e.g., billing records for tax compliance, project contracts for liability protection).
  • Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete data (e.g., updated contact information for project communications).
 
To exercise these rights, contact us at design@clawprint.life with your full name, contact details, and a clear description of your request. We will respond within 30 business days.
 

Where your data is sent

 
Visitor comments are checked through an automated spam detection service to protect our site and users from malicious content. No personal data is stored by the spam detection service beyond what is necessary for screening, and the service adheres to strict data protection standards.
 
All other personal data (e.g., project details, contact information) is stored on secure, encrypted servers located in the United States, compliant with California privacy regulations and industry best practices.
