Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information Marklund Ventures (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects when you visit our website or contact us, and how we use and protect that information. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly

When you submit a contact form, discovery form, or privacy request, we may collect:

• Your name
• Email address
• Phone number (optional)
• Business name (optional)
• Project details, service needed, budget range, and timeline
• Any other information you choose to include in your message

Please do not submit sensitive personal, medical, financial, or confidential information through our forms. Our general contact forms are not designed to receive protected health information, financial account numbers, Social Security numbers, or similar sensitive data.

Website AI assistant

If you use the website assistant, your question and up to four recent messages are sent to Base44's AI service to generate a response. This site keeps the visible conversation in memory while the page is open and does not save it as a lead. Provider processing and retention are governed by their policies. To request a response from our team, review and submit a project, support or callback request in the assistant or contact form, or email info@marklundventures.com. Only the message and contact details you submit are saved as an inquiry and used to notify the studio. The optional Listen control uses your browser’s speech service; processing depends on your browser and chosen voice. The assistant cannot access your accounts, identify anonymous visitors, or connect to your personal Dot agent.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, we and our service providers may automatically collect:

• IP address and approximate location (region/country level)
• Browser type, device type, and operating system
• Pages visited, referring URLs, and time on site
• Cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy)

2. How We Use Your Information

• To respond to your inquiry and provide the services you request
• To send project proposals, quotes, and related communications
• To improve our website, services, and content
• To monitor for fraud, abuse, and security threats
• To comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information. We do not automatically subscribe contact-form users to marketing newsletters. Where we offer marketing communications, you must affirmatively opt in and may opt out at any time.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality and, with your consent where required, for analytics and marketing. You can manage your preferences using the cookie consent banner or the Cookie preferences button in the footer. See our Cookie Policy for details.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

We rely on trusted third parties to operate the website. These providers may process limited data as our processors:

• Hosting & platform: Base44 (application hosting, file storage, and database services)
• Spam & bot protection: Cloudflare Turnstile verifies contact and privacy request forms. Google reCAPTCHA protects messages sent to the AI assistant. These services process technical browser and network signals to detect automated abuse. Form contents are not sent to Cloudflare for this verification.
• Fonts: Google Fonts (font delivery)
• Imagery: Unsplash and Base44 media CDN (stock and generated images)
• Email delivery: Resend (used to deliver form submissions and notifications to our team)
• Maps: OpenStreetMap / Leaflet (service area map)
• Social media: Links to Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn (these platforms set their own cookies when you click through)

These providers have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data. We encourage you to review them.

5. Data Retention

We retain form submissions and related correspondence only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, provide services, and meet legal or record-keeping obligations. Marketing consent records are retained to honor your preferences. You may request deletion at any time (see “Your Privacy Rights”).

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including HTTPS encryption, access controls, server-side secret management, and spam protection on public forms. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information using reasonable safeguards.

7. International Data Transfers

Our service providers may process data in the United States or other countries. If you visit from the EEA, UK, or other regions with data transfer rules, your information may be transferred to a country with different privacy laws. We take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place where required.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Withdraw consent for optional processing
• Opt out of marketing communications
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Request portability of your data where applicable

To exercise any of these rights, submit a Privacy Request or email us at info@marklundventures.com. We will verify your identity before disclosing or deleting personal information.

U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain U.S. states (such as California under the CCPA/CPRA, and Florida under the Florida Digital Bill of Rights, among others) may have additional rights. We do not “sell” or “share” personal information as those terms are legally defined. If applicable, you may designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf.

Global Privacy Control

Where technically supported, we honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as an opt-out of certain “sale” or “share” of personal information. Because we do not sell personal information, a GPC signal primarily limits optional analytics and advertising where applicable.

9. Marketing & Email (CAN-SPAM)

If you opt into marketing emails, we include a clear unsubscribe link in every message, honor opt-out requests promptly, and identify the sender accurately. We do not use deceptive subject lines. Our physical mailing address is 343 N Bay St, Suite 110, Eustis, FL 32726.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can delete it.

11. Healthcare & Regulated Clients

Marklund Ventures builds websites for healthcare, legal, and other regulated organizations. Our public contact forms are not intended to collect protected health information (PHI), and Marklund Ventures is not a HIPAA-covered entity merely because it serves healthcare clients. Compliance requirements for client projects are assessed individually based on architecture, data flows, vendors, and applicable law.

12. Business Transfers

If Marklund Ventures is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via the website if your information is materially affected.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will revise the “Last updated” date above when we do. Material changes will be highlighted on the website where practical.
