Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 26, 2025

Welcome to Metis Media. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our site or interact with us. We’re committed to keeping your data safe.

1. What We Collect

  • Contact Form: When you use our Contact Us page, we collect your name, message, and email address. This info is sent to us via email and stored on Squarespace, our website host.

  • Cookies & Analytics: Our site uses cookies for basic functionality (like the contact form) and analytics (to see how people use the site). We also use Google reCAPTCHA to prevent spam, which may collect your IP address and browsing data.

  • Automatically Collected Data: Squarespace logs things like your IP address, browser type, and visit duration for site performance.

2. How We Use It

  • Contact Form: We use your name and email to reply to your message. That’s it.

  • Cookies & Analytics: Cookies keep the site running smoothly, and analytics help us improve it. reCAPTCHA data verifies you’re not a bot.

  • Legal Stuff: We might use your info if required by law.

3. Who We Share It With

  • Squarespace: They store your contact form data and site analytics.

  • Google: reCAPTCHA shares data with Google per their Privacy Policy and Terms.

  • We don’t sell or share your info with anyone else unless legally obligated.

4. How Long We Keep It

  • Contact form data is kept as long as needed to respond to you, then deleted when no longer necessary.

  • Analytics data is anonymized and kept indefinitely by Squarespace.

5. Your Rights

  • You can ask to see, update, or delete your personal data we hold. Email us at James@metismediastudio.com

  • You can opt out of non-essential cookies via the cookie banner.

6. Cookies

  • We use essential cookies for site functionality (no consent needed) and optional ones for analytics (you can say no via the banner). Check our cookie banner for details and to manage your preferences.

7. Security

  • We rely on Squarespace’s security measures to protect your data. Still, no system is 100% secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute safety.

8. Contact Us

  • Questions? Reach out at James@metismediastudio.com

9. Changes

  • We might update this policy. Check back here for the latest version.

We may transfer contact form data (e.g., name, email) and related sales information (e.g., company, pain points, sales progress, and communications) to a secure offline Excel sheet stored on a password-protected and encrypted local device. This helps us manage inquiries and track the sales process. We keep this data only as long as needed—typically until the sales process concludes or up to 1 year after our last contact—then securely delete it. This information is not shared with anyone and is protected against unauthorized access. If you have questions or want to access, update, or delete your data, email us at james@metismediastudio.com.
