Privacy Policy

Last updated 12 August 2026

This site is run by Rumeau Design LLC. This page explains what happens to your information when you visit it or get in touch, in plain terms.

If you would rather just ask: [email protected].

The short version

Browsing this site does not require you to give us anything, and we do not ask you to make an account or accept anything. Two things do happen automatically: our host keeps standard server logs, and — because we advertise on Facebook and Instagram — a Meta tracking pixel loads on every page. If you fill in the contact form, we keep what you send us for up to two years.

We do not run analytics of any kind, we do not load web fonts from anyone else, and apart from the Meta pixel described below, we set no cookies.

What we collect, and when

When you just look at the site

We do not ask you for anything, and there is no login. Our host records the ordinary information any web server records to serve a page and keep the site up: your IP address, the page you asked for, the time, and your browser and device type.

When you contact us

Our contact buttons open a form hosted by Tally. Whatever you type there — typically your name, your email address and your message — comes to us, and Tally holds a copy as the form provider.

We use that to reply to you and to do the work you are asking about. We do not add you to a mailing list, and we do not pass it to anyone else.

The Meta pixel

This site loads Meta's tracking pixel on every page. It runs because we advertise on Facebook and Instagram and it tells us which ads lead to people actually visiting.

It loads as soon as the page does, whether or not you have a Facebook or Instagram account, and it tells Meta:

• your IP address,
• which page you are on and when,
• your browser and device type,
• and a cookie it sets in your browser, _fbp, which lets Meta recognise the same browser across separate visits.

Meta receives this directly. What Meta then does with it is governed by their own policies, not ours: facebook.com/privacy/policy.

How to stop it. Any of these work, and none of them break the site:

• Use a content blocker, or a browser that blocks trackers by default — Firefox, Brave and Safari all do to varying degrees.
• Turn off "Activity off Meta technologies" in your Facebook or Instagram settings, which stops Meta connecting this browsing to your account.
• Use a private or incognito window, which discards the cookie when you close it.

We would rather say this plainly than bury it. The pixel is here because it is useful to a small studio buying ads, not because we want your browsing history.

Who else is involved

Running a website means other companies handle some of this. These are all of them:

• Cloudflare hosts the site, and sees your IP address and the pages you request, in its server logs.
• Sanity stores the site's content and serves every image on it, so it sees your IP address whenever your browser fetches one.
• Tally runs the contact form, and holds whatever you type into it.
• Meta receives what the pixel sends, described above.
• Google supplies the preview thumbnail on a few pages that have a video with no still image of its own, and sees your IP address on those pages.
• YouTube and Vimeo play the videos, and see nothing at all unless you press play — see below.

Videos do not load until you ask them to. Where this site shows a video, it displays a still image and a play button, and only builds the actual YouTube or Vimeo player when you click it. Until then, those companies are not contacted and cannot set cookies. On a few pages the still image itself comes from YouTube, which means Google sees your IP address on those pages even if you never press play.

Cookies and browser storage

The Meta pixel sets one cookie, _fbp, described above. That is the only cookie on this site.

One other thing is stored in your browser, and it is not a cookie and never leaves your device: if you use the ink-mode toggle to switch the site's appearance, your choice is remembered under rdc-ink so the site looks the same next time. Nobody sees it but you, and clearing your browser data removes it.

There is nothing here to accept or dismiss.

How long we keep things

Contact form submissions and the email conversations that follow them: up to two years, then we delete them. Long enough to pick up a conversation that went quiet, short enough that we are not sitting on a pile of old enquiries.

Server logs are held by our host on their own retention schedule, which we do not control and cannot shorten.

What Meta keeps is up to Meta.

Why we are allowed to do any of this

If you are in the UK or EU, the law requires us to name a lawful basis for each thing we do with your information. Ours are:

• Answering you. When you send us an enquiry, we use it to reply and to discuss the work. That is either the necessary first step toward a contract with you, or our legitimate interest in running a design studio.
• Keeping the site up. Server logs exist so the site can be served, kept secure, and debugged when it breaks. That is our legitimate interest.
• The Meta pixel. We use this for our legitimate interest in advertising effectively as a small business. You can switch it off at any time by any of the methods listed above, and nothing on the site stops working if you do.

We do not use your information for anything else. Specifically, we do not profile you, we do not make automated decisions about you, and we have no mailing list to add you to.

What you can ask us to do

Whatever country you are in, you can ask us to:

• tell you what we hold about you,
• correct it,
• delete it,
• or stop using it.

Email [email protected] and we will do it. There is no form and no process — this is a small studio, and it will be Chris reading the message.

If you are in the UK or EU, the GDPR gives you those rights formally, plus the right to receive your data in a portable form and the right to complain to your national data protection authority. If you are in California, you have comparable rights under the CCPA.

We do not sell your personal information. For completeness: the Meta pixel shares browsing activity with Meta for advertising purposes, and some privacy laws — California's among them — treat that kind of sharing as its own category even though no money changes hands. Turning it off is covered above.

Children

This site is aimed at businesses and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

Changes

If this changes, the date at the top changes with it. If it ever changes in a way that materially affects what happens to your data, we will say so here rather than quietly editing it.
