Privacy Policy
Effective Date: November 13, 2026
At Still Water Interactive ("SWI," "we," "our," or "us"), we respect your privacy and believe in being transparent about how information is collected and used.
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information when you visit still-water.com, contact us, or inquire about our services.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information that you voluntarily provide, along with certain technical information necessary to operate and protect our website.
Information you provide
When you complete our contact form, we may collect:
- Your name and email address.
- Your company or organization, if provided.
- The services you select.
- The project goals you select.
When you communicate with us by email or other correspondence outside the contact form, we may also collect information you voluntarily include in that communication.
We encourage visitors not to submit sensitive personal, financial, or confidential information through the general contact form.
Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, our hosting and technical service providers may process information such as:
- IP address and approximate geographic location derived from it.
- Browser type, device information, and operating system.
- Pages requested and the date and time of access.
- Technical information used for website security, performance, and troubleshooting.
This information helps us maintain a secure, functional, and reliable website.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to:
- Respond to inquiries and requests for information.
- Discuss potential projects, services, and business relationships.
- Communicate about services you have requested.
- Maintain and improve website functionality and accessibility.
- Detect spam, abuse, and unauthorized activity.
- Meet applicable legal and operational obligations.
Submitting an inquiry does not automatically subscribe you to a marketing mailing list.
3. How Contact Form Submissions Are Processed
Our website uses Resend, a third-party email delivery service, to securely transmit contact form inquiries to our designated business email account.
Submitted information is processed by our website's server-side application and transmitted through Resend to our business email provider.
The contact form does not maintain a separate customer database solely for storing inquiry submissions. However, inquiry details may remain in our business email records and the systems used to deliver those messages.
We use this information to review and respond to your inquiry and manage related business correspondence.
4. Service Providers and Information Sharing
We use trusted service providers to operate our website and communicate with visitors. These include:
- Netlify: Website hosting, application delivery, and related infrastructure.
- Resend: Transactional email delivery for contact inquiries.
- Google Workspace: Business email hosting and correspondence.
These providers may process information as necessary to perform services on our behalf, subject to their applicable contractual terms and privacy practices.
We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect our rights or the security of our services, or as part of a legitimate business transaction, subject to applicable legal requirements.
We do not sell information submitted through our website's contact form or use those inquiries for third-party behavioral advertising.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining appropriate business records, resolving disputes, and meeting applicable legal obligations.
Information transmitted through Resend is subject to that provider's applicable retention practices. Copies of inquiries received in our business email system may be retained according to our business recordkeeping needs and applicable requirements.
When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or otherwise appropriately dispose of it.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.
Our website uses HTTPS to protect information transmitted between your browser and our website when properly connected.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information we maintain about you.
You may also have additional rights relating to certain uses or disclosures of your information.
To submit a privacy-related request, contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
We will review and respond to requests in accordance with applicable law.
9. International Visitors

Our website infrastructure and service providers may process or store information in the United States and other locations where they operate.
If you access our website from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be processed in a jurisdiction with different data protection laws.
Where required, applicable safeguards will be used for international transfers.
10. Children's Privacy
Our website is intended for business and professional audiences and is not directed toward children under the age of 16.
We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children through our website. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can address the matter appropriately.
