I'm Francisco. I make design work and this website is how people like you find me and get in touch. I value your privacy and I’m committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how this website (thechicostudio.com->) collects, uses, and safeguards your information when you visit.
Sharing is caring, especially when it comes to trust.
If you use the contact form I may collect: your name, email, LinkedIn URL (if you add it) and the message you write.
If you sign up for the (optional) newsletter, I’ll store your email address and any preferences you provide. 
This website also uses Google Analytics for anonymous site statistics, and small cookies that help it run properly.
I only use this information to:
• Reply to your message and discuss potential projects
• Prepare proposals, contracts, and invoices (if we work together)
• Improve the website through anonymous analytics
• Include project details in my portfolio, but only with your clear permission
I never sell or share your personal data.
I process messages because it’s necessary to communicate and possibly prepare a contract. For newsletters and non-essential cookies I rely on your consent. I’ll always respect your choices.
Messages from the contact form go to my business account. The site is hosted on Webflow, and the domain is managed by GoDaddy. 
Data is only kept for as long as it’s needed for the purpose, or to meet any legal obligations.
I use Webflow, GoDaddy, Google (Gmail, Analytics)for specific services. Each has its own privacy rules. Some processing may happen outside the EU; these providers use standard safeguards (e.g., contractual protections) to keep your data safe.
We use your information solely for the following purposes:We do not use third-party cookies.
