Privacypolicy.

shUX Studio is operated by (SH)UX LLC, a UX studio based in Chicago, Illinois. This policy covers shux-studio.com. We keep it short because we collect very little.

What we collect

What you send us. When you use the contact form, we receive your name, email address, company (if you add it) and your message. If you email us, we receive what you write and your email address.

How the site is used. We use Google Analytics to understand which pages people visit and how they found us. It records things like the pages viewed, the site that referred you, your browser and device type, and an approximate location (city or country). Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses.

We don't run ads, we don't have accounts or logins, and we don't take payments on this site.

How we use it

• To reply to you and, if we work together, to run the engagement.
• To see which pages are useful and improve the site.

We don't sell personal information, and we don't share it for advertising. Google Signals and ad personalization are switched off in our analytics.

Who handles it for us

• Netlify hosts the site and receives contact form messages.
• Google provides Google Analytics and our email.
• Adobe Fonts and Google Fonts serve the typefaces. Your browser requests them from their servers, which see your IP address as part of that request.

Each of these companies handles data under its own privacy policy and its agreements with us.

Cookies and similar storage

Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (named _ga and _ga_ followed by an ID) to tell one visit from another. The site also uses your browser's storage to remember whether you chose the dark theme and whether you've seen the opening animation. Neither of those leaves your browser.

Your choices

• In the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland, analytics cookies are off by default and we don't set them.
• Global Privacy Control: if your browser sends this signal, we treat it as an opt-out and analytics cookies are not set.
• You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install Google's Analytics opt-out add-on.

How long we keep it

Analytics data is kept for 14 months. Messages you send us are kept as long as we need them to respond and to work together, and we'll delete them when you ask.

Your rights

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Depending on where you live, you may have further rights under laws such as the GDPR. Email us and we'll respond within 30 days.

Children

This site is for businesses and isn't directed at children under 16. We don't knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
