Privacy Policy

Dager Design Collective respects your privacy and understands the importance of protecting the personal information and property photographs you share with us.

Dager Design Collective is a founder-led interior and exterior home design visualization business based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving homeowners throughout the United States.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, which service providers may process it, and how you can contact us about your information.

This policy applies to our website, project inquiry system, customer communications, and design visualization services.

Business Contact: hello@dagerdesigncollective.com

Please avoid uploading sensitive personal information or photographs containing information unrelated to your project.

Transaction Information

When services are purchased, we may maintain records of:

• Selected services
• Agreed project pricing
• Payment status
• Transaction references
• Payment and refund dates

Payment-card information is processed by our payment provider rather than collected through our standard project inquiry form.

Technical and Website Information

Our website and its technology providers may automatically process information such as:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address
• Browser and device information
• Pages visited
• Website usage and performance information
• Security and error logs
• Cookies or similar technical identifiers where implemented

We use information for purposes including:

• Receiving and reviewing project inquiries
• Contacting prospective customers
• Determining whether we can accept a project
• Understanding existing spaces and design goals
• Developing personalized design concepts
• Creating realistic design visualizations
• Preparing design recommendations
• Delivering purchased services
• Managing projects and revisions
• Sending project confirmations and updates
• Processing and recording payments
• Providing customer support
• Maintaining accurate business records
• Protecting the website against fraud, spam, and misuse
• Fulfilling legal and tax obligations

We do not require customers to create an account to submit a project inquiry.

Submitting an inquiry does not automatically result in a charge.

Photographs and project materials submitted through our intake form are intended for private project evaluation and design development.

We use cloud-based storage and access controls to restrict access to submitted materials.

Authorized access to customer project records and photographs is limited to the founder or other personnel expressly authorized for legitimate business purposes.

When necessary, temporary access mechanisms may be used for secure photograph viewing or downloads.

Although we take reasonable precautions, no online storage system is completely free of security risk.

We do not automatically publish customer-submitted photographs or design concepts in our public portfolio.

Separate permission is required before we use identifiable customer project materials for public marketing or promotional purposes.

Dager Design Collective uses modern digital tools, including artificial intelligence, to help create conceptual design visualizations.

Our design process incorporates personal creative direction, design selections, and review.

To provide these services, relevant photographs, design instructions, inspiration images, and project information may be processed through third-party AI and visualization services.

Such providers may process or retain information in accordance with their contracts, privacy terms, and applicable service configurations.

We aim to share only the information reasonably necessary for the requested design work.

Because provider practices differ, customers should contact us before submitting photographs if they have concerns about third-party AI processing.

We do not promise that all AI providers automatically delete submitted photographs immediately after processing.

We do not intentionally use customer photographs to train our own AI models.

We cannot categorically guarantee how independent third-party AI providers use information unless their applicable terms and settings expressly support that guarantee.

Dager Design Collective uses third-party services to operate its website and deliver customer projects.

These currently include, or may include when enabled:

Lovable and Lovable Cloud

Website operation, project inquiry processing, backend functionality, database services, application authentication, and email functionality.

Supabase or Related Backend Infrastructure

Database and private file-storage infrastructure supporting customer inquiries, photographs, and administrator access, where used by the website backend.

Google Workspace

Business email, communication, and potentially document storage or project-related collaboration.

Stripe

Secure payment processing, payment confirmation, and transaction records.

AI and Digital Visualization Providers

Processing design references, project photographs, and instructions for the creation and refinement of design concepts.

Other Necessary Service Providers

Services supporting website security, technical operations, and business administration.

We may share relevant information with these providers only as reasonably necessary for the described purposes or as otherwise disclosed to you.

Providers may operate in different locations and may process information in other jurisdictions.

This list will be updated as our actual service providers and practices change.

We use:

hello@dagerdesigncollective.com

for business correspondence and customer communication.

We may also use a separate authenticated sending subdomain:

notify.dagerdesigncollective.com

to deliver automated transactional emails, including:

• Confirmation that a project inquiry was received
• Notifications regarding project submissions
• Other service-related messages when implemented

Our email service providers may process recipient addresses, message content, delivery status, and technical information necessary to send and monitor these messages.

Project confirmation emails are transactional communications, not subscriptions to promotional marketing.

We do not automatically enroll inquiry customers in a promotional email list.

If promotional email programs are introduced in the future, they will be subject to appropriate notices and applicable consent and unsubscribe requirements.

When customers purchase services, payments may be processed through Stripe.

Stripe may collect payment-card details, billing information, and other transaction data under its own privacy policies.

Dager Design Collective generally receives payment confirmation and relevant transaction records rather than complete payment-card numbers.

We do not ask customers to enter payment-card numbers into our standard project inquiry questionnaire.

Please review Stripe's privacy information for additional details about its payment-processing practices.

We may share personal information:

• With providers necessary to operate our website or services
• With payment processors
• With design and visualization technology providers
• With appropriate professional advisers when necessary
• When legally required or to respond to valid legal processes
• When reasonably necessary to investigate fraud or protect rights and security
• With other recipients at your request or with your permission

Dager Design Collective does not sell customer contact lists or submitted property photographs as part of its business model.

We do not authorize publication of customer project photographs through third-party marketing solely because the materials were submitted for design services.

We do not disclose customer photographs publicly without appropriate permission.

We may separately request permission to showcase a design project in our website portfolio, social media posts, or promotional materials.

Such permission is optional and is not required to inquire about or purchase services.

An inquiry submission or agreement to our Terms of Service does not automatically provide public marketing permission.

When showcasing projects, we aim to distinguish proposed design concepts from actual completed construction.

You may contact us to discuss previously granted permissions or request changes to future use of project materials under our control.

Removal from independent third-party websites or previously distributed materials may not always be technically possible.

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies for essential functionality, authentication, security, and performance.

Certain third-party website infrastructure may automatically collect device information, session information, or technical logs.

If we introduce optional analytics, advertising pixels, or nonessential tracking technologies, we will update this policy and implement additional notices or consent controls when legally required.

You can manage many cookies through your browser settings, although disabling essential cookies may affect certain website functions.

We retain personal information and project materials for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including:

• Evaluating inquiries
• Providing design services
• Managing project communications and revisions
• Maintaining transaction and tax records
• Addressing disputes
• Meeting legal obligations
• Protecting system integrity

Retention periods may differ by information category and provider.

Inactive inquiries and completed-project photographs will be periodically reviewed for continued business need.

We do not promise automatic deletion after a fixed period unless such a retention schedule has been implemented and verified.

Where deletion is appropriate, we will take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify eligible information from systems under our control.

Some information may remain temporarily in backups, security logs, or third-party systems according to their applicable retention practices.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect customer information.

Depending on the system, these include:

• Restricted administrator access
• Authentication and authorization controls
• Private file storage
• Time-limited photograph access
• Input validation
• Abuse prevention
• Access restrictions for customer project records

No website, cloud platform, or electronic storage system can guarantee absolute security.

We encourage customers not to submit highly sensitive information unrelated to their design projects.

If a security incident occurs, we will assess it and take appropriate measures, including notifications where legally required.

You may contact us to request:

• Information about personal data we maintain
• Correction of inaccurate information
• Deletion of eligible personal information or photographs
• Information about relevant processing and service providers
• Withdrawal of optional marketing permission
• Clarification of how submitted material is used

We may request reasonable verification of identity before responding, particularly when a request involves private property photographs or project records.

Certain information may be retained where necessary for legal obligations, business records, fraud prevention, or other lawful purposes.

We will consider and respond to requests in accordance with applicable law.

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights under applicable consumer privacy laws.

These rights vary by jurisdiction, and some laws apply only to businesses meeting specified thresholds.

Where a state privacy law applies to Dager Design Collective, we will honor the rights and obligations required by that law.

You may contact us using the information below to ask about your personal information and applicable privacy rights.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against individuals for exercising legally protected privacy rights.

Our design services are intended for adults.

We do not knowingly solicit personal information directly from children under the age of 13.

If we learn that personal information has been collected from a child in circumstances requiring parental permission or deletion under applicable law, we will take appropriate action.

Customers should avoid uploading unnecessary photographs or identifying information involving children.

Our website and design deliverables may contain links to external websites, including retailers, inspiration sources, social media platforms, and payment providers.

These third parties operate independently and may have their own privacy practices.

Dager Design Collective is not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of independently operated external websites.

We encourage visitors to review the relevant third-party privacy notices.

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology providers, or legal obligations change.

The updated policy will be published on our website with a revised effective date.

Where legally required, we will provide additional notice or request consent before materially changing how personal information is handled.

Previously recorded customer acknowledgments will not be automatically represented as acceptance of a later policy version.
