Privacy Policy
Effective October 2026

McKinley Avenue Design Co. respects your privacy, and this policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website or contact us, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information you share with us
When you fill out our contact or inquiry form, email us, or book a consultation, we collect the information you choose to provide, which may include your name, email address, phone number, project address or general location, details about your project and timeline, your budget range, and any photos or files you send along.

Information collected automatically
Like most websites, ours collects some basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, and how you arrived at the site. This information is gathered through cookies and similar tools used by our website platform, Showit, [and by Google Analytics,] and it helps us understand how the site is used so we can keep improving it.

How we use your information
We use the information you share to respond to your inquiry, schedule and prepare for consultations, provide and manage design services, send proposals and invoices, and keep in touch about your project. [If you sign up for our newsletter, we will also send you occasional updates, and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.] We use automatically collected information to maintain the site, understand which pages are most helpful, and keep the site secure.

How we share your information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us run the business, such as our website host, email and scheduling tools, payment processor, and analytics provider, and only to the extent they need it to perform those services for us. Once you become a client, we may also share relevant project details with contractors, vendors, and trades working on your project, but only as needed to complete the work. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights, our clients, or the public.

Cookies and your choices
You can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when they are being used, although some parts of the site may not work as smoothly if you do. [To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.]

How long we keep information
We keep inquiry information for as long as needed to respond to you and follow up, and we keep client records for as long as needed to complete your project and meet our legal, tax, and accounting obligations.

How we protect your information
We use reasonable safeguards to protect the information you share with us, though no website or method of storing data online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your rights
You may ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, to correct anything that is inaccurate, or to delete your information, subject to any records we are required to keep by law. Depending on where you live, including in Texas, you may have additional rights under state privacy law, and we will respond to any request within the timeframe that law requires. To make a request, simply email us at [email protected].

Children’s privacy
This website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Outside links and social media
Our site links to our Instagram and TikTok accounts and may link to other outside websites, each of which has its own privacy practices, so we encourage you to review their policies when you visit them.

Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time, and the effective date above will always show when it was last revised.

If you have any questions about this policy or how your information is handled, please contact us at [email protected].
