Your data stays in bounds.
We do not sell your information or use it for advertising. What you tell us here stays with us and with the services that run this site for us.
In plain lines
A booking, page counts, and what your browser keeps for a visit. That is the whole of it.
Who we are
Jacob Caggige Studio LLC, doing business as Stonehut Studio, of Burlington, Vermont, runs this site and decides what it collects and why. In privacy law that makes us the controller of your information. Write to hello@stonehut.studio about anything on this page.
What you tell us
When you book a call: your name, your email address, the kind of work you pick, your current site if you add it, and how you found us if you say. When you write to us: your email address and what you write.
What we collect as you browse
Page views, counted by Plausible Analytics. Plausible sets no cookies and stores no IP address or anything else that identifies you; it counts visits in total, not people. Cloudflare, which hosts the site, receives each request, your IP address included, to serve the page and keep the site secure. We may see the name of the organization that runs the network you visit from, such as a company or a university, never who you are. To find it, we may check the public records for your address: its DNS name, and its entry with ARIN, the registry for US and Canadian addresses. We keep that name, the place, the pages read and for how long, never your IP address. A link we send you may carry a short code, which tells us it was opened. If you book a call, your organization’s earlier visits are linked to the booking. We do none of this in the EU, the UK or Switzerland.
How you found us
For the length of a visit, your browser keeps the site that sent you here, any campaign tags in the link, the page you landed on and the pages you read. With a yes to Statistics in the cookie settings, it also remembers how you first found us, from one visit to the next. That record stays in your browser unless you book a call; then it comes with the booking, and we know where the call came from. Two things from it do reach us as you read, outside the EU, the UK and Switzerland: the time your visit began, which ties its pages together, and a link’s code if you came through one.
Booking a call
The call goes on our calendar in Google Workspace, and Google sends you the invite with a Google Meet link. Before the booking is made, Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a person is booking and not a program. It shows you nothing, and what it reads is covered by Cloudflare’s Turnstile Privacy Addendum. If our own booking cannot answer, you are sent to our page on Calendly, and the booking is made there under Calendly’s policy.
On the call
We take notes on the call with Wispr Flow, a tool that transcribes it, and keep the notes with the record of your booking. The booking says so beside its button, we say so again at the start of the call, and if you would rather we did not, we do not.
Cookies and storage
One item in your browser keeps your cookie choice. A few more last only for the visit and make the site work: the page transitions, the intro shown once, and the record of how you found us. With a yes to Statistics, one more keeps how you first found us. We set no advertising cookies and run no advertising trackers. Change your answer at any time from Cookies at the foot of any page. Browsers can send a Do Not Track signal; nothing here follows you to other sites, so the signal changes nothing.
What it is for
To book and hold the call, to reply to you, to follow up about the work you asked about, and to see which pages get read, where visitors come from and which organizations read the site. Where the law asks for a reason: booking and replying are steps you asked for before a possible contract; following up, counting pages and seeing which organizations visit are our legitimate interest in running the studio; remembering how you first found us rests on your yes, which you can take back.
Who handles it for us
Cloudflare (hosting, security and Turnstile), Google Workspace (calendar, Meet and email), Wispr Flow (notes from calls), Supabase (the database behind the studio’s own records), Plausible Analytics (page counts), AI tools that help us keep the studio’s records, and Calendly only if our booking cannot answer. Each handles your information to provide its service to us, under its own terms. ARIN, the public registry for US and Canadian addresses, sees an address when we look it up. We do not sell it, share it for advertising, or add you to a list you did not ask for. We would disclose it if the law required us to.
Where it lives
Our records are kept in the United States. Page counts are kept in the EU. If you write to us or book from outside the United States, your information comes to the United States to be handled, where the law may protect it less than at home.
How long we keep it
A booking, its record and the notes from the call stay for as long as they are useful in working with you. We delete them when you ask, unless the law requires us to keep them. The record of which organizations visited is kept the same way. If the call becomes a project, its records are kept as long as our contracts and tax law require. Email stays as long as we are in touch.
Your requests
Write to hello@stonehut.studio to see, correct, delete or take a copy of what we hold about you, or to object to how we use it. We answer within thirty days, wherever you live, and we never treat you differently for asking. In the EU or the UK, you can also complain to your data protection authority.
Keeping it safe
Only the people who need your information can reach it, behind a sign-in, and our providers encrypt it on the way. No system is perfectly secure. If something goes wrong that affects you, we tell you as the law requires.
Children
This site is for businesses. It is not meant for anyone under sixteen, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this page changes, the date at the top changes with it. If a change matters to what we do with your information, we say so here before it applies.
