1. Who we are
Forceflushingax is a small planning studio based at 75 Fountain St, Providence, RI 02903, USA. When this policy refers to "we", "us" or "our", it means the studio. When it refers to "you", it means a visitor to this website or a person who contacts us through it.
We are the controller of any personal information you choose to share with us through this website. Our contact details for privacy questions are listed at the end of this page.
2. The information we collect
We are deliberate about collecting only what we genuinely need to reply to you and to keep the website running well. Concretely, that means:
- Information you send us through the contact form. Your name, your email address, and the contents of your message. The consent checkbox confirms you have read this policy before sending the form.
- Information your browser sends automatically. When your browser requests a page, it shares technical data such as the page URL, the time of the request, your IP address, and your browser type. We use this information only to keep the site secure and to understand basic traffic patterns.
- Essential cookies. We use a small number of cookies that are strictly necessary to remember your privacy choice, so the privacy notice does not appear again after you accept it.
We do not collect special categories of personal data, we do not buy data from third-party brokers, and we do not run any form of behavioural advertising on this website.
3. Why we use this information
The legal basis for our handling of personal information varies depending on what you do:
- To respond to your contact form message — we rely on your consent, which you provide when you tick the box and submit the form.
- To follow up on a project we are working on with you — we rely on the legitimate basis of carrying out our agreement.
- To keep the website secure, free from abuse, and running properly — we rely on our legitimate interest in protecting our service and the people who use it.
- To comply with applicable law, such as tax or record-keeping obligations — we rely on legal obligation.
4. How long we keep your information
We keep information only as long as it is needed for the purpose we collected it.
- Contact form messages: up to twenty four months, then deleted unless you have become an active client.
- Project correspondence with an active client: for the duration of the engagement plus seven years, to satisfy accounting and contractual requirements.
- Server logs: rotated and deleted after thirty days.
5. Who can see your information
Inside the studio, your information is read only by the small team that handles your message or your project. We do not sell, rent or trade personal information.
We use a small number of trusted service providers to run the website, send emails, and store backups. We choose providers that take privacy seriously, sign written agreements with them, and only share what they need to perform their role.
6. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, to ask us to delete it, to restrict or object to certain uses, and to ask for a portable copy. You can exercise these rights by writing to us using the details below, and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
You can also withdraw your consent to our processing at any time. Withdrawal does not affect anything we did with your data before you withdrew consent.
7. Children
This website is intended for adults working in or with office teams. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under sixteen. If you believe a child has shared personal information with us, please contact us and we will delete it.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit, access controls, regular software updates and limited internal access on a need-to-know basis. No service connected to the internet can be perfectly secure, so we ask you not to send us highly sensitive information by email.
9. International transfers
Our services are operated from the United States. If you visit this site from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States. We rely on appropriate safeguards, including standard contractual clauses where required, for any international transfers our providers make on our behalf.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time, for example when we change a service provider or when laws change. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page whenever we do. Significant changes will be announced clearly on the homepage.
