Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Forepoint Studio, a DBA of Cinos Partners LLC (“Forepoint,” “we” or “us”), collects, uses and shares information when you visit forepointstudio.com (the “site”) or contact us. If you have questions, email shawn@forepointstudio.com.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you fill out the contact form, we collect what you enter: your first and last name, company, work email, website, the services you're interested in, your type of business, number of locations, estimated budget, monthly ad spend, timeline, how you heard about us, whether you need an NDA or have an RFP, and your message. If you email us, book a call or work with us, we also collect the information you share in those conversations.

Information sent automatically with the form. The form also sends the address of the page you submitted it from (which can include campaign tags, such as UTM parameters, from the link you clicked) and the page that referred you to the site.

Information collected when you browse. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical information, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you request and the time of each request. We may also use analytics tools, such as PostHog, to understand how visitors use the site. These tools may use cookies or similar technologies to recognize repeat visits and measure things like which pages are viewed.

How we use information

• To reply to your inquiry, schedule calls and prepare proposals.
• To provide services if you become a client, and to manage that relationship, including billing.
• To understand how the site is used and to improve it.
• To keep the site and our systems secure and prevent spam and abuse.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.

We don't add you to a marketing email list because you filled out the contact form.

How we share information

We don't sell your personal information, and we don't share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share it only:

• With service providers that help us run the site and the business, such as our website host (Vercel), email delivery provider (Resend), analytics provider (PostHog) and scheduling tool (Cal.com). They may use the information only to provide their services to us.
• When required by law, or to protect the rights, safety or property of Forepoint, our clients or others.
• As part of a merger, acquisition or sale of all or part of the business, in which case this policy continues to apply.
• With your permission.

We don't share personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing.

Cookies, Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site will still work, although analytics may be less accurate.

Browsers send “Do Not Track” signals in different ways, and there's no agreed standard for responding to them, so the site doesn't change its behavior when it receives one. We treat a Global Privacy Control signal as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, even though we don't sell or share it. We don't allow third parties to collect personal information about your activity across other websites through our site for advertising.

How long we keep information

We keep inquiry information for as long as we need it to respond and follow up. If we don't end up working together, we delete it within 24 months, unless the law requires us to keep it longer. Client records are kept for as long as the engagement lasts and afterward as needed for legal, tax and accounting purposes.

How we protect information

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal information. No website or system is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. Depending on where you live, including California, you may also have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and the right not to be treated differently for exercising your privacy rights. We honor these requests whether or not the law requires it.

To make a request, email shawn@forepointstudio.com from the address you used to contact us, or tell us enough for us to find your information. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request, and we'll respond within 45 days. You can also authorize someone to make a request on your behalf.

Children

The site is for businesses and isn't intended for children under 16. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, email us and we'll delete it.

Where information is processed

Forepoint is based in the United States, and the information we collect is stored and processed in the United States.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll post the updated version here and update the effective date. If the changes are significant, we'll give more prominent notice, such as a notice on the site.
