Privacy notice

Effective October 23, 2026. Carolina Digital Works is a service of GLEWAL Enterprises, LLC.

Information you choose to share

Our forms ask for contact details and information about your business or proposed project. When you select Send request, your answers are processed by our Hostinger web server and delivered through Brevo to our business inbox. Downloading answers only saves a copy on your device. If direct submission fails, you can prepare an email using your own email app.

How we use inquiries

When you send an inquiry, we use the information to respond, discuss your project, and provide requested services. An inquiry does not subscribe you to marketing. Please do not send passwords, financial account details, health records, or private customer data through these forms.

Website technology

Google Analytics, Google Ads measurement, and Metricool load automatically on public pages without a consent prompt. Hostinger may process standard connection and request information, such as an IP address and requested page, to operate and protect the site. Your email provider processes messages you choose to send. Hostinger processes submitted form details on our website, and Brevo processes those details to deliver inquiry notifications to our business inbox. Our form handler uses a session cookie for request validation and duplicate prevention, and temporarily stores timestamps and hashed IP addresses for abuse prevention. Submitted enquiries and questionnaire answers are stored in private server files and our private tracking dashboard, and retained in our email system. Uploaded logos remain in the private intake storage.

Automatic website counting

Our own first-party counter automatically records daily page-view and booking-link-click totals by page and source. It uses no cookies or visitor identifiers and does not store IP addresses, referrers, form answers, or full query strings. Repeat page loads count separately. It does not estimate unique visitors or confirmed appointments. Internal tests are excluded from business totals.

Non-personal campaign labels, including contact_card, qr, local_handouts, and six_up_v1, are retained in this tab's session storage and carried through internal links. They let us label a submitted enquiry as Printed Contact Card in its saved record, notification email, and private dashboard. These labels do not contain a unique visitor identifier. Campaign attribution can be lost if storage is cleared and campaign parameters are removed.

Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Metricool

These services load automatically without a consent prompt. Google Analytics and Google Ads use analytics and advertising cookies and receive page visits, campaign labels, advertising click identifiers, general device and connection information, service choices, form starts, successful enquiry events, and booking-link clicks. Google consent settings are granted, including advertising measurement and personalization. Metricool also measures website traffic. These third-party services may process connection information such as your IP address. Their tracking is separate from our cookieless first-party counter.

We send fixed event categories and sanitized page/campaign information, never form answers, names, email addresses, or enquiry references to these measurement services. A booking-link click does not confirm an appointment; confirmed appointments are recorded separately. Google Analytics cookies are configured for a 180-day expiry without extending it on each visit. Browser settings or blocking tools may limit tracking. See Google's privacy policy and Metricool's privacy policy.

Your device and downloaded answers

Online answers remain in the current page until you submit, download, or leave the page. They are not automatically saved by this site. Downloads remain on your device under your control. On shared devices, close the page and remove any downloaded responses you do not want others to access.

Website speed tests

If you use the speed-test button, the public page address you enter is sent to Google PageSpeed Insights in a new tab. Google processes that request under its own privacy terms. Do not submit private links or URLs containing access tokens. The speed test does not send a project inquiry to us.

Optional newsletter

If you choose to subscribe, Brevo processes your email address, explicit signup consent, and confirmation record for Carolina Digital Works. We add you to the CDW newsletter list only after you click the confirmation link. A welcome email follows about one minute later, with occasional website, local SEO, and small-business marketing tips after that.

Newsletter signup is separate from inquiries, appointments, and other brands. You can unsubscribe through the link in each newsletter. We retain the records needed to respect unsubscribe choices. For correction or deletion requests, contact glenn@carolinadigitalworks.com. The signup form is hosted by Brevo; see Brevo’s privacy policy.

Questions and requests

To ask how an inquiry is being used, request a correction, or request deletion, email glenn@carolinadigitalworks.com. We may need to retain relevant records for an active project, business administration, or applicable obligations.

Changes

This notice will be updated when the site's data-handling practices change. The date above identifies this version.

Payments

Payments are processed through Stripe. Checkout collects your name, business name, email, website address, and payment information. Stripe processes card information; we use billing and subscription records to provide your services and manage your account. See Stripe's privacy policy.
