Who we are
align79 ("we," "us," or "our") is an AI-native creative studio. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices — covering both this website (align79.com) and the automated content-publishing system we operate to manage our own social media presence, including our use of the Pinterest API.
If you have any questions, contact us at our contact page or by email at vitetalex@gmail.com.
Information we collect
We keep data collection to a minimum. Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
- Contact details you provide — when you submit our contact form or email us, we receive your name, email address, and the message you send. Our contact form is processed by a third-party form service (Web3Forms) that relays the submission to us.
- Scheduling information — if you book a call, our scheduling provider (Calendly) collects the details you enter to set up the meeting.
- Basic technical data — like most websites, our hosting provider may log standard request data (such as IP address and browser type) for security and reliability. We do not use this to identify you personally.
Our automated content publishing & the Pinterest API
align79 operates an internal automation (our "Content Engine") that publishes our own marketing content — images, captions, and links — to social media accounts that we own and control, including Pinterest, on a scheduled basis.
When we connect to the Pinterest API, we use it solely to create and manage pins and boards on our own Pinterest business account. We do not collect, store, sell, or share the personal data of other Pinterest users, and we do not use the Pinterest API to access content or accounts that do not belong to us. Access tokens are stored securely by our automation platform and are used only to publish our own content.
Our use of information received from Pinterest's APIs adheres to the Pinterest Developer Guidelines and the Pinterest Privacy Policy. The same principle applies to any other social platform we publish to (such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook): we act only on accounts we own.
How we use information
- To respond to your inquiries and provide the services you request.
- To schedule and conduct calls or meetings you book with us.
- To operate, maintain, and secure our website.
- To publish our own content to our own social accounts.
- To comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your contact details for unrelated marketing without your consent.
Affiliate links
Some content we publish contains affiliate links, including as an Amazon Associate. When you click these links and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links do not change what we collect about you through this website.
Third-party services
We rely on a small set of reputable providers to run our site and operations, each governed by its own privacy policy:
- Cloudflare — website hosting and delivery.
- Web3Forms — contact-form processing.
- Calendly — call scheduling.
- Pinterest, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook — social platforms we publish our own content to via their official APIs.
Data sharing
We share information only with the service providers listed above, as needed to operate our site and services, or where required by law. We never sell your data.
Data retention
We keep contact and scheduling information only as long as needed to respond to you and maintain our business records, then delete it. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited information we hold, including secure storage of any API access tokens. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to safeguard your data.
Cookies
Our website uses minimal cookies — primarily those set by our hosting and embedded providers (such as the scheduling widget) needed for basic functionality. We do not run our own advertising trackers.
Children's privacy
Our website and services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, email us at vitetalex@gmail.com and we'll respond promptly.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes will be reflected on this page.
