Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Internet Crafters ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you use our website and services.
Domains, email and hosting bought at our store
Our store at shop.internetcrafters.com runs on separate systems and has its own Privacy Policy, which covers what you give it when you register a domain, open a mailbox, or buy hosting. Registering a domain also requires that certain registrant contact details be passed to the registry that operates the domain ending, because the domain name system requires it. This policy covers internetcrafters.com.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide: We collect information you voluntarily provide, including:
- Contact information (name, email address, phone number)
- Business information for website development projects
- Payment information processed through third-party payment processors
1.2 Information Automatically Collected: We automatically collect certain information when you visit our website:
- IP address and browser information
- Pages visited and time spent on our site
- Referral source
- Device and operating system information
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- Providing and improving our website development services
- Communicating with you about projects and services
- Complying with legal and tax reporting requirements
- Analyzing website usage to improve user experience
- Preventing fraud and ensuring security
3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
3.1 Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our business, including:
- Payment processors for handling transactions
- Cloud hosting providers for website and data storage
- Analytics services to understand website usage
- Email service providers for communications
3.2 Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information when required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect our rights and safety.
3.3 Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
4. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. Tax-related information is retained for at least 7 years as required by IRS regulations.
Our first-party analytics keeps individual events and error occurrences for 90 days, removed by a daily cleanup. Daily totals and grouped issue history remain available beyond that window for historical reports and maintenance. Hosting logs, backups, and other providers' records have separate retention schedules.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
- Access: Request access to your personal information
- Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
- Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal requirements)
- Portability: Request a copy of your information in a portable format
- Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications
7. Cookies and Tracking
Our website uses analytics and browser storage to understand activity and diagnose problems. Browser settings and privacy signals affect what we collect, as described below.
Our analytics and error monitoring
Internet Crafters records page paths, timestamps, page views, and clicks in our customer portal. Normal browser mode uses a random ID in session storage to connect activity within that browser session. It can include campaign labels from links, such as UTM source and campaign, but strips raw advertising click identifiers, URL queries, and fragments from page paths.
We count call-button clicks, email-link clicks, directions, submit-button clicks, and form attempts separately. A successful contact-form response, including a confirmed embedded-form callback, records a completed-form event without the answers. These actions don't prove a call connected, an email was sent, or how many different people contacted us.
Error monitoring collects error type, code location, software release, and coarse browser or operating-system information. Our collector doesn't capture form contents, error-message text, or session replay. Matching failures become grouped issues for staff review, not automatic support tickets.
Server-side crawler observation records request paths, times, response status, and user-agent information. The portal stores a keyed hash of the crawler IP address instead of the raw address. Crawler counts describe automated requests, not visits by people.
Privacy signals and reduced-data counts
When your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, our first-party collector switches to reduced-data counting. It sends only the page path, event type, minute-rounded time, and a separate random ID for each event to prevent duplicate processing. It doesn't use session storage, link events to a visitor, or include campaign labels, click destinations, or browser error details.
These counting requests omit cookies, credentials, and the referrer header. Our collector doesn't forward browser IP addresses or user agents into the portal. Hosting providers still receive network information needed to serve requests and can keep their own operational logs, so reduced-data counting isn't a promise that no personal data is processed anywhere.
We don't use these reduced-data counts for visitor profiles or cross-site advertising. Browser blockers can prevent collection, and we don't bypass them. For other privacy requests, use the contact details below.
Other analytics providers
This website also uses Google Analytics and, when configured, Statsig for usage analysis. Statsig can record session replay and interaction data, and these tools can use their own browser identifiers or storage. Those features are separate from our first-party collector.
We don't initialize Google Analytics or Statsig when Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control is enabled. Changing browser settings doesn't erase information already collected. Customer websites can use different tools and should describe them in their own privacy notices.
Advertising cookie and your choice
Google Ads is configured on this site, and it can set an advertising cookie. That cookie is off by default. It is set only after you agree to it, and agreeing is the only thing that turns it on.
What it does: it lets Google connect your visit to an advertising click, so we can see which ads bring people here, and it adds you to the audience we can show ads to on other sites later. Without it, we still count conversions, but Google estimates the connection to a click rather than observing it.
We ask once, in a banner at the bottom of the page. Declining changes nothing else about the site. You can change your answer at any time through the "Cookie choices" link in the footer of every page, and withdrawing takes effect immediately.
When your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, the advertising cookie stays off and we do not ask. A browser-level opt-out is an answer, and we treat it as one.
The advertising click that brought you here
When you arrive from one of our ads, the link carries an identifier that says which ad you clicked. We keep that identifier in your browser for 90 days, and send it with your request if you fill in the project form.
What it is for: telling which ads bring work in. Without it, a sale that started with an ad looks the same to us as one that did not, and we would be guessing about where to spend.
Where it goes: our own systems and, when we report a completed sale, Google Ads. It is stored in your browser, not in a cookie, and no other site can read it. We do not use it to show you ads, build a profile, or follow you anywhere else.
This is separate from the counting described above, which still strips these identifiers and still does not keep them. When your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, we do not keep the identifier at all.
8. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.
9. Children's Privacy
Our services are not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
