Privacy
Your data, simply. Treated like it’s yours.
The short version: we collect the minimum needed to email you an audit report or reply to your inquiry, we don't sell anything to anyone, and we delete what we no longer need.

1. Who we are
PixelCarve Digital (“PixelCarve,” “we,” “us”) is a sole-proprietorship web studio based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. This policy explains how we handle personal information collected through pixelcarvedigital.com and our free SEO audit tool.
2. What we collect
We only collect information you give us, plus a small amount of technical data your browser sends automatically.
- Contact form submissions: name, email, vendor type (photographer, planner, HMUA, etc.), and any message you write.
- Audit tool submissions: the website URL you submit, the email address you provide to receive the report, and the vendor type you select.
- Audit results: the performance metrics returned by Google PageSpeed Insights for your URL, and the analysis our AI generates from those metrics.
- Standard request data: IP address, browser type, referrer, and timestamps captured by our hosting provider for security and abuse prevention.
We do not use marketing cookies, behavioural tracking pixels, or third-party analytics.
3. Why we collect it
- To deliver your audit report by email, including a PDF summary and the underlying scoring.
- To reply to your inquiry if you reach out via the contact form, WhatsApp, or email.
- To improve the audit tool by reviewing aggregated performance patterns (we do not single you out).
- To prevent abuse such as automated submissions and bot traffic.
4. Where your data goes
We use a small set of trusted third-party services to actually run the website and the audit tool. Each one only sees the slice of data it needs to do its job.
- Vercel — hosting and infrastructure. Sees standard request data (IP, browser). Vercel privacy policy →
- Resend — transactional email delivery. Sees the recipient email address and the contents of the audit report or reply we send you. Resend privacy policy →
- Anthropic (Claude) — generates the written analysis inside your audit report. Sees the URL you submitted and the PageSpeed metrics, but not your name or email. Anthropic privacy policy →
- Google PageSpeed Insights — measures the performance of the URL you submit. Receives only the URL. Google privacy policy →
We do not sell, rent, or trade your information to anyone, ever.
5. How long we keep it
- Inquiries and contact-form messages: kept for up to 24 months so we can keep context across follow-ups, then deleted.
- Audit submissions: the URL and email pass through our system to generate and send the report. We retain a copy of the generated report for up to 60 days for support purposes.
- Server logs: retained by our hosting provider for up to 30 days for security and debugging.
6. Your rights
Under Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and similar provincial laws, you have the right to:
- Ask what personal information we hold about you.
- Request a copy, correction, or deletion of that information.
- Withdraw consent for us to keep contacting you (we’ll honour this immediately).
- File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Email pixelcarvedigital@gmail.com and we’ll respond within 30 days.
7. Cookies & tracking
The site sets only the bare-minimum cookies required to render pages. We do not use analytics platforms, advertising pixels, or cross-site trackers. If we ever add basic, privacy-respecting analytics in the future, we’ll update this page first.
8. Children
The site is intended for business owners and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from minors.
9. Security
All traffic to the site is encrypted in transit via HTTPS. Our hosting and email providers maintain SOC 2 controls. No system is perfect, but we follow standard practices to keep your data safe.
10. Changes to this policy
If anything material changes, we’ll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
