Privacy Policy

1. Overview & Commitment

At Cadence (“we,” “our,” or “us”), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personal data through transparent, responsible engineering practices. This Privacy Policy details our policies and practices regarding the collection, use, maintenance, and disclosure of information when you access or use our website, themes, and related architectural services.

We adhere to a static-first design philosophy. By minimizing client-side scripts and server dependencies, our architecture significantly reduces data footprint and eliminates involuntary user tracking.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked with you (“personal information”). The categories of information we collect depend on how you interact with our services:

• Voluntarily Provided Information: When you submit our contact forms, request an architectural audit, or communicate with our engineering team, we collect your full name, email address, telephone number, organization name, and message contents.
• Device and Technical Telemetry: Standard HTTP server logs automatically capture anonymous technical parameters, including IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, referring URLs, and timestamps to ensure infrastructure stability and security monitoring.
• Theme Preferences: Your preferred color scheme (Light, Dark, or System) is stored solely within your browser’s local storage (localStorage) and is never transmitted to or processed on our backend servers.

3. How We Use Your Data

We process collected information for specific, lawful purposes including:

1. Providing architectural design consultations, technical recommendations, and responding to inquiries.
2. Delivering, maintaining, and enhancing the security, performance, and accessibility of our web platforms.
3. Verifying compliance with licensing agreements and preventing unauthorized use or malicious attacks.
4. Communicating essential service notifications, administrative updates, or legal compliance notices.

Zero Data Brokering: We do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade your personal information to third-party data brokers, marketers, or advertisers under any circumstances.

4. Storage & Security

We implement industry-standard physical, organizational, and technical safeguards engineered to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, or disclosure. All data transmissions across our public endpoints enforce strict Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3 encryption).

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was gathered, satisfy legal obligations, or resolve ongoing contractual matters.

5. Third-Party Disclosures

We may engage vetted third-party service providers to facilitate infrastructure hosting, analytics, and transactional communications. These providers process data strictly on our behalf under contractual non-disclosure and privacy safeguards:

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our websites are engineered to be cookie-free by default. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or fingerprinting scripts. Any local storage utilization (such as client theme preferences) operates strictly on-device.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as under GDPR, CCPA, or applicable state and international privacy regulations), you have rights regarding your personal information, including:

• The right to know what personal data we hold about you.
• The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete records.
• The right to request the deletion (“right to be forgotten”) of your personal data.
• The right to restrict or object to certain processing activities.

To exercise any of these rights or submit a privacy inquiry, please reach out to our designated compliance officer using the official contact details below. We verify requests to protect your security and respond within the statutory timeframe.
