Privacy Policy
Katsura Creative is a creative agency based in the United States. This policy explains what information we collect through katsuracreative.com and through applications we operate that connect to Google services, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information we collect
Contact form. When you send us a message through the contact form, we collect your name, email address, the service you're interested in, and your message. We use this only to respond to your enquiry. The message is delivered to our inbox by Resend, our email delivery provider.
Spam protection. To keep the contact form usable, we check the origin of each submission, use a hidden field that only automated scripts fill in, and issue a short-lived signed token when the form loads. We may also use Cloudflare Turnstile, which analyzes browser signals to tell people from bots. Rejected submissions are logged with the reason for rejection. None of this requires cookies.
Server and security logs. Our site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like most hosting providers, Cloudflare records basic request data such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested in order to serve the site and protect it from abuse.
Analytics. We may use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is privacy-first and does not use cookies, fingerprinting, or cross-site tracking. It gives us aggregate information such as page views and referring sites.
Fonts. The site loads typefaces from Adobe Fonts (Typekit). When your browser requests those fonts, Adobe receives your IP address and basic browser information. Adobe's handling of that data is described in its own privacy policy.
We do not use advertising trackers, and we do not sell personal information.
2. Google API Services
Some of our tools and workflows connect to Google services through Google APIs, using Google's OAuth sign-in. When you grant one of our applications access to your Google account:
- We request only the permissions needed for the feature you are using, and we tell you what those permissions are on Google's consent screen before you approve them.
- We use data from your Google account only to provide or improve the feature you asked for. We do not use it to serve advertising, and we do not sell it.
- We do not transfer Google user data to third parties except as needed to provide the feature, to comply with law, or as part of a merger or acquisition with notice to you.
- Humans at Katsura do not read Google user data unless you have given us permission, it is needed for security or to comply with law, or it has been aggregated and anonymized for internal operations.
- You can revoke our access at any time from your Google Account permissions page at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
3. How long we keep information
Contact form messages stay in our email for as long as we need them to handle your enquiry and any resulting work. Spam-protection tokens expire within two hours. Google user data is retained only as long as needed to provide the feature, and is deleted when you revoke access or ask us to delete it.
4. Sharing
We share information only with the service providers listed above (Cloudflare, Resend, Adobe, Google), each of which processes it on our behalf, and otherwise only when required by law.
5. Your choices and rights
You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or withdraw consent for a Google integration at any time. Email us at the address below and we will respond within 30 days.
6. Children
Our site and services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
7. Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the effective date above. Significant changes will be noted on this page.
