Privacy
Privacy notice.
What this website collects, why, and who handles it. We keep it short because we collect very little.
Who we are
Stella Gene LLC, which trades as StellaGene™, is a boutique agency in Portland, Oregon. For anything in this notice, get in touch through the contact page and choose "Something else".
What we collect
- The contact form. Your name, work email, company, what you'd like help with and your message. Optionally your website or LinkedIn address, timing and phone number. It reaches us as an email, and the site doesn't keep a copy anywhere else.
- Spam protection. To limit spam, the server keeps a scrambled record of how often one connection has sent a message in the past hour.
- Server logs. Our hosting provider keeps standard logs of visits, such as your IP address, the pages requested, the time and your browser type.
- No cookies or tracking. This site doesn't set cookies and doesn't use analytics or advertising trackers.
How we use it
- To reply to your inquiry and discuss a possible project.
- To keep a record of inquiries, and to keep the site secure and free of spam.
- We don't send marketing emails from this site, and getting in touch doesn't add you to a mailing list.
Who we share it with
- Our host and email provider (GoDaddy) run the site and deliver the messages to us, on our behalf.
- Google Fonts supplies the typefaces. When a page loads, Google receives your IP address and browser details.
- We don't sell your information. We share it otherwise only if the law requires it.
- Links to other sites, such as Amazon, Substack or ProVideo Coalition, take you to places with their own privacy notices.
How long we keep it
We keep an inquiry for as long as it takes to reply and, if we start work together, for the length of the project and the records we need afterwards. If we don't work together, we delete the inquiry after 24 months.
Your choices
You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. We'll do this for anyone, wherever you live. Get in touch and tell us what you'd like.
Buying our products
Purchases happen on Amazon, under Amazon's own privacy notice. We don't receive your payment details.
