Privacy Policy
Draft — version of [DATE TBD]. Pending the owner's review and, where needed, review by a qualified attorney.
This is a working draft, not legal advice. It was prepared as a starting point for Anabella's Creations and has not yet been reviewed or approved by the business owner or a lawyer. Bracketed items marked TBD still need real answers. Do not treat this as final until it has been reviewed and the placeholders are filled in.
1. Who we are
Anabella's Creations ("we," "us," "our") is a small handmade-treats and personalized-gifts business based in Indiana, USA, operated by [owner's full/legal name — TBD] as [sole proprietor / LLC — TBD]. You can reach us at hello@anabellascreations.com or [mailing address — TBD].
2. What this policy covers
This policy explains what personal information we collect through anabellascreations.com — primarily the consultation request form — how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It does not cover information you give us in person, by phone, or by email outside the website, though we handle that information consistently with this policy.
3. Information we collect
Information you give us
When you submit the consultation request form, we collect:
- Your name and email address (required to reply to you);
- Your phone number (optional, only if you provide it);
- Details about your event: occasion, items you're interested in, date you need it by, rough budget, and anything you type into the free-text field;
- Your confirmation that we may contact you about your request.
Please only include information that's necessary to discuss your order. You do not need to share sensitive personal information, and we ask that you don't.
Information collected automatically
Our hosting provider automatically logs basic technical information with each request — such as IP address, date and time, and browser type — for security, troubleshooting, and spam prevention. The public marketing pages do not use advertising or analytics cookies or third-party trackers. [Confirm before launch that no analytics tool has been added — TBD.]
4. How we use your information
- To respond to your request and schedule a consultation;
- To prepare a custom quote and, if you order, to arrange and fulfill that order;
- To keep records we're required or reasonably need to keep (for example, tax and accounting records);
- To protect the website against spam, abuse, and fraud.
We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising or "targeted advertising."
5. Who we share it with
We share personal information only with:
- Service providers that help us run the site and handle your request — for example, our website host, the database service that stores consultation requests, and any email-delivery service we use to send ourselves your request. These providers are permitted to use the information only to provide their service to us. [List the specific providers once chosen — TBD.]
- Legal and safety recipients — if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our customers, the public, or the business.
If the business is ever sold or transferred, customer information may be part of that transfer; we would require the recipient to honor this policy.
6. How long we keep it
We keep consultation requests and order records for as long as needed to serve you and to meet business, tax, and legal requirements, then delete or anonymize them. [Set a concrete retention period, e.g. "consultation requests that don't become orders are deleted after 12 months" — TBD.]
7. Your choices and rights
You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information you've given us, or ask us to stop contacting you, by emailing hello@anabellascreations.com. We'll respond within a reasonable time and may need to verify your identity first.
Indiana has a consumer privacy law — the Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act — that takes effect January 1, 2026. As a small business, Anabella's Creations likely falls below the thresholds that make that law legally binding on us. Regardless of whether it applies, we will honor reasonable requests to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and we do not sell personal data or use it for targeted advertising. If we ever deny a request, you may ask us to reconsider by replying to our decision. [Confirm applicability and the exact request/appeal process with counsel — TBD.]
8. Children
The website is intended for adults planning events and purchases. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Cookies
The public pages of this site do not set advertising or analytics cookies. The private, owner-only administration page uses a single strictly-necessary session cookie so the owner can stay signed in; that cookie is not used for tracking and is never set for ordinary visitors.
10. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the information you send us, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access controls on the systems that store consultation requests. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the business changes. The version date at the top will change when we do. Significant changes will be noted on this page.
