This Privacy Policy explains how Bauerstone collects, uses, and protects the personal information you provide through this website. We keep it short and in plain language, because that's how we'd want it explained to us.

1. Who we are

This website is operated by Bauerstone LLC, 66 West Flagler Street, Suite 900, Miami, FL 33130, United States ("Bauerstone", "we", "us"). For any question about this policy or your data, you can reach us at info@bauerstone.com, which is our main channel of contact.

2. What information we collect

We only collect the information you choose to give us through our forms:

• Contact form: the service you're interested in, your name, your email address, and the description of your project or enquiry.

• Footer form: your name, your email address, and the service you're interested in.

We do not knowingly collect any other personal data through the site, and we don't require you to create an account.

3. How we use your information and why

We use this information solely to respond to your enquiry, understand what you need, and prepare a proposal if there's a fit. The legal basis for this is your consent when you submit the form and the steps taken at your request before entering into a possible agreement. We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.

We do not currently send marketing emails or newsletters. If we introduce one in the future, we will ask for your separate, explicit consent first, and you'll be able to unsubscribe at any time.

4. How long we keep it

We keep enquiry information for as long as needed to handle your request and any resulting relationship, and afterwards only for the period required to meet our legal or accounting obligations. When it's no longer needed, we delete it.

5. Who we share it with

We never sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers that make this website and our communication work, and only to the extent necessary:

• Framer — website hosting and basic analytics.

• Google Workspace — our email (info@bauerstone.com).

These providers may process data on servers located in the United States. Where required for users in the European Union, such international transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

6. Cookies and analytics

We use privacy-friendly analytics provided by Framer to understand, in aggregate, how the site is used. This analytics does not use tracking cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information, so this site does not currently require a cookie-consent banner.

If we later add third-party content that sets cookies (for example, embedded videos from YouTube or Vimeo), we will update this policy and add a cookie notice and consent mechanism where required.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you have rights over your personal data, including the right to access it, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its processing, request a copy in a portable format, and withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these, just email us at info@bauerstone.com and we'll respond as required by law.

If you're in the European Union and believe your data has been mishandled, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (in Spain, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, AEPD).

8. Global compliance

Bauerstone is committed to complying with the international data-protection and privacy regulations applicable in the regions where we work and where our clients are based. This includes, among others:

• The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union.

• The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) of the United States.

• Other applicable national data-protection laws in the jurisdictions we serve.

Any concern regarding compliance will be handled in accordance with the applicable legal requirements and with full transparency toward our clients and contacts.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against loss, misuse, or unauthorized access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to keep your data safe and to limit who can access it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes will be reflected clearly on this page.

11. Contact
