Who we are
JDF3 Design is the operating business name of an unincorporated business operated by James D. Ford III. For privacy questions or requests, email james@jdf3design.com. The operator’s full legal name, governing jurisdiction, any legally required business address, and any applicable business-name registration details still require confirmation before publication. No business registration is represented by this draft.
Information you provide
When you submit an inquiry, we receive your name, email address, company or business name, selected service or business goal, optional phone number, and message. Inquiry submissions also include the source page, session entry page, and available UTM campaign values to help understand the inquiry source. Session attribution is stored in browser session storage when available and is not proof of identity or consent. The website project form also asks for your industry and an optional website URL. Information you include in correspondence, project materials, or an appointment request may also be processed to handle your request. Please do not send sensitive personal information or payment card details through inquiry forms.
Bookings, chat, and demonstrations
Appointment links lead to the GoHighLevel / LeadConnector consultation calendar, where information you provide is handled under that provider’s privacy notice as well as used to manage your appointment. The industry demonstrations are previews; they do not submit service requests. The website includes the JDF3 Design GoHighLevel / LeadConnector chat widget. The provider receives technical information when the widget loads and processes any chat messages and contact details you choose to submit. Confirm optional phone collection, channel settings, retention, and consent disclosures in the GHL account before publication. Chat participation is optional.
Technical information, cookies, and analytics
Hosting and external services may receive IP addresses, browser and device information, request times, and pages requested when serving the website. Confirm the host’s actual logging and retention settings before publication. Google Fonts is loaded externally. Some project videos load YouTube thumbnails, and the player loads when selected; these requests disclose technical information to Google or YouTube. Third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies under their own notices. You can control cookies through your browser and review provider settings. Blocking them may affect external features.
Website measurement
The website code emits limited conversion events, such as inquiry submissions and booking-link clicks, using event names and page paths rather than form values. These hooks respect the browser signals for Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track. No analytics loader was found in the audited source; if a Google Analytics gtag function is separately installed, the hooks can forward events to it. Any deployed analytics, cookies, consent controls, and provider settings must be checked before publication.
How information is used
Information is used to respond to inquiries, assess project fit, prepare proposals, coordinate appointments, perform agreed services, communicate about ongoing work, and maintain website operations. Where applicable, it may also be needed to protect systems, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Providing an email address or phone number does not by itself authorize marketing SMS.
Service providers and disclosures
Inquiry forms currently send information through the DreamHost-hosted PHP endpoint to the business email inbox. Hosting, email, scheduling, and communications providers process information needed for those functions. GoHighLevel / LeadConnector provides the external consultation booking page. GoHighLevel / LeadConnector also provides website chat. Direct synchronization of the separate website inquiry forms with GoHighLevel CRM is prepared but is not enabled in this repository. Before connecting it, confirm the information transferred, access controls, purposes, subprocessors, and applicable notices. No on-site payment processor was found; any payment provider and payment-data handling must be disclosed when agreed and introduced. Providers should process information only as necessary to deliver requested services. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights and security, subject to applicable law.
SMS privacy and consent
We do not sell or share your SMS opt-in data or personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. SMS opt-in information and consent are not shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Service providers may process information only as necessary to deliver the requested services. Any future SMS program must use a separate, optional opt-in and preserve evidence of consent. A phone number alone is not SMS consent. See the SMS Messaging Terms. SMS sending is not enabled by these pages.
Retention and security
Retention must reflect the purpose of collection, active project needs, applicable obligations, and the handling of disputes. No fixed retention schedule has been verified; the business must approve schedules for inquiry emails, CRM records, backups, and consent evidence before publication. Access controls, secure connections, and provider settings should be reviewed to protect information. No internet transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your choices and privacy rights
You can choose what to include in an inquiry, use email instead of the form, and manage third-party cookie settings. Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of information, restrict or object to processing, or withdraw consent. Email james@jdf3design.com to make a request. We may need to verify your identity and assess legal exceptions before responding. You may also contact the relevant privacy authority where applicable. Withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully completed before withdrawal.
International processing
Hosting, email, scheduling, and other providers may process information in countries different from your own. Actual processing locations and any required transfer safeguards must be confirmed for the services in use. Do not treat this draft as confirmation of a particular storage country or transfer mechanism.
