Privacy Policy

Overview

Built by Pine (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website www.builtbypine.co. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or engage our services.

Information We Collect

We collect only what we need to operate the site and respond to inquiries:

• Contact information you provide through our contact form — your name, email address, current website URL, and any message you send.
• Aggregate usage data from privacy-friendly analytics — pages viewed, referrer, device type, and country. This data is anonymous and aggregated; it does not identify you individually.

Cookies and Tracking

This website does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and does not sell or share your personal information. Because of that, you will not see a cookie consent banner — there is nothing to consent to.

For analytics we use Plausible Analytics, a cookieless, privacy-focused tool. It sets no cookies, collects no personal data, and does not track you across other websites. Any cookies that are set are strictly necessary for the site to function.

How We Use Your Information

• To respond to your inquiries and provide our web design and development services.
• To understand, in aggregate, which pages are useful so we can improve the site.
• To send communications related to your project, if you have asked us to.

Third-Party Services

We rely on a small number of third-party providers to run this website. Each processes data under its own privacy policy:

• Vercel — website hosting and content delivery.
• Plausible Analytics — cookieless, aggregate site analytics.
• Resend — delivery of contact-form messages to our inbox.
• Adibilis / AIDA — the on-site accessibility assistant. It loads to provide accessibility features and does not set tracking cookies.

We do not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels (such as Meta or TikTok), session-replay tools, or third-party chat widgets on this site.

Data Retention

We retain inquiry details only for as long as necessary to respond, manage active conversations, and operate the website responsibly. Some technical and operational logs may also be retained by our hosting or service providers for security, debugging, and reliability purposes.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your personal data.
• Object to or restrict our processing of your data.
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the form on our website.

Your California Privacy Choices

We do not sell or share your personal information, and we do not use it for cross-context behavioral advertising. There is therefore no “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” action to take on this site. We honor browser-level opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC). California residents may still request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal information using the contact form, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the “Last updated” date.
