Clear about your data.

This policy applies when you visit layerlane.studio, submit a contact or project form, respond to a LayerLane ad, create or use a client account, purchase services, upload materials, or otherwise communicate with us. It does not control the independent practices of third-party websites, social platforms, or services linked from our site.

LayerLane generally decides how personal information is used for our own inquiries, accounts, billing, marketing, and operations. When LayerLane handles personal information only to build or operate a service for a client, that client may control the information and its own privacy notice and instructions may apply.

We collect information directly from you, automatically from your browser or device, from a client who authorizes your access, and from services you choose to connect or use, such as Meta, Stripe, or an integration included in a project.

Please do not send Social Security numbers, government identification, health records, biometric information, precise geolocation, payment-card details, or other highly sensitive information unless we specifically request it through an appropriate secure process.

• Respond to inquiries, qualify requests, prepare proposals, and communicate about a possible project.
• Create and operate accounts, client portals, managed websites, portfolios, dashboards, integrations, and support services.
• Process subscriptions, invoices, payments, refunds, renewals, and related records.
• Review caller partner invitations, record and enforce agreement acceptance, administer compliant calls, attribute referred inquiries, and calculate or pay tiered rewards.
• Send service messages, authentication codes, project updates, receipts, and requested communications.
• Understand which pages and campaigns are useful, measure site performance, troubleshoot errors, prevent abuse, and improve our services.
• Protect LayerLane, our clients, and others; enforce agreements; comply with law; and establish or defend legal claims.

For visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction that requires a legal basis, we rely as appropriate on performance of a contract, steps requested before a contract, legitimate interests, legal obligations, and consent. Our legitimate interests include operating and improving the service, responding to inquiries, measuring our own marketing, and protecting our systems.

We use cookies and similar browser storage for essential sign-in, session continuity, security, preferences, and inquiry protection. We also store a random visitor identifier and campaign-attribution details in local storage so we can understand which referral or ad led to an inquiry.

LayerLane uses Vercel Analytics, Vercel Speed Insights, and a first-party UX measurement system to understand page use and performance. These tools may process device, network, page-path, referral, session, timing, and web-performance information. Our first-party measurement does not intentionally record form-field contents, keystrokes, or full referring URLs with query strings.

You can clear or block browser storage through your browser settings, but doing so may affect sign-in, security, attribution, or other site functions. Because there is no uniform standard for browser “Do Not Track” signals, we do not currently respond to DNT as a standalone instruction. We do not use website visitor information for sale or cross-context behavioral advertising. If that practice changes, we will update this policy and provide legally required choices.

We disclose personal information only as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, at your direction, or as required by law. The categories of recipients include:

LayerLane does not sell personal information for money. We may buy interest-based advertising from platforms such as Meta without giving those platforms LayerLane client lists. To the extent applicable law treats any future use of personal information for targeted advertising as a sale or sharing, you may opt out as described below.

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, the client relationship, security and fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and legal, tax, accounting, or contractual requirements. Retention depends on the type of record: active account and project records generally remain while the relationship continues; managed client content may be retained for up to 90 days after termination to permit recovery; and billing, transaction, consent, and legal records may be kept longer where required or reasonably necessary.

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed for the nature of the information, including access controls, authentication, encrypted connections, provider security features, validation, and rate limiting. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so please use care when deciding what to send.

Depending on where you live and subject to legal exceptions, you may have the right to:

• Confirm whether we process your personal information and request access to it.
• Correct inaccurate information you previously provided.
• Request deletion of personal information, subject to lawful exceptions.
• Request a portable copy or representative summary of information you provided, where applicable.
• Opt out of qualifying targeted advertising, sale of personal information, or certain profiling, where applicable.
• Withdraw consent when processing is based on consent and object to or restrict certain processing where applicable.

Email contact@layerlane.studio with the subject “Privacy request.” Describe the right you want to exercise and the email address connected to the information. We may ask for information reasonably needed to verify your identity or authority. We will respond within the period required by applicable law, generally within 45 days where the Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act applies.

If we deny a request, you may appeal by replying or emailing the same address with the subject “Privacy appeal.” We will explain our decision and any further complaint options available to you. You may also use an authorized agent where applicable. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.

You may unsubscribe from promotional email through the link in the message or by contacting us. Transactional, security, billing, and project messages may still be sent when necessary. If you want LayerLane not to use your information for qualifying targeted advertising, use the same privacy-request address and say “targeted advertising opt-out.”

LayerLane is a business and professional service not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.

LayerLane is based in Indiana, United States. If you access the service from another country, your information may be processed in the United States and other places where our providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate contractual or legal safeguards for international transfers.

We may update this policy when our services, providers, or legal obligations change. We will post the revised policy here, update the effective date, and provide additional notice when a change is material and applicable law requires it.

Questions, requests, and appeals can be sent to LayerLane at contact@layerlane.studio. LayerLane is based in Indiana and works with clients in multiple locations.
