Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 26, 2026

Longfellow Design Build ("Longfellow," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit longfellowdesignbuild.com (the "Site"), how we use and share it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Information you provide directly. When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, phone number, project type, your brief message, and your communication preferences. When you submit an employment or co-op application, we collect your name, email, phone number, LinkedIn or portfolio URL, areas of professional interest, location availability, target start date, resume, and any cover note you include. You may also send us information directly by email, phone, or in person during a consultation.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, our hosting provider collects standard server log information about your visit, including IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from IP. We use a small number of cookies necessary to operate the Site. We do not currently use third-party analytics, advertising, or behavioral tracking cookies on the Site. If that changes, we will update this policy.

Information from third parties. We may receive information about you from social media platforms when you interact with our pages (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn), from referral sources who connect us, or from publicly available sources.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information (such as government IDs, financial account numbers, or health information) through the Site. Please do not include sensitive details in form submissions.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiry, schedule consultations, and provide information about our services
• Evaluate employment, internship, and co-op applications
• Communicate with you, including sending project updates, newsletters, and event invitations where you have opted in
• Operate, maintain, and secure the Site
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use

Email and Text Message Communications

If you opt in on our contact form, we may send you email updates and, in the future, text message updates from Longfellow. You can unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link in the footer of any marketing email. If we begin a text message program, you will be able to opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message, and reply HELP for assistance; message and data rates may apply. Opting out of marketing does not affect direct responses to your inquiry or application.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in the following circumstances:

Service providers. We share information with vendors that help us operate the Site and our business, including our hosting provider (Vercel) and email and recruiting tools we use to manage inquiries and applications. These providers are authorized to use your information only as needed to provide services to us.

Affiliates. Longfellow Design Build is part of the Waterside Group portfolio. We may share information internally with affiliated companies (including Vineyard Home and Clarendon Interiors) when relevant to your inquiry, project, or application.

Legal and safety. We may disclose information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, subpoena, or court order, or is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Longfellow, our clients, employees, or the public.

Business transactions. If Longfellow is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Cookies

The Site uses a small number of cookies necessary for it to function properly (for example, session management). We do not currently use cookies for analytics, advertising, or behavioral tracking. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect Site functionality. Because there is no industry standard for how to respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, we do not currently respond to them.

Your Rights and Choices

All visitors. You can update or correct the information you have submitted, opt out of marketing communications, and request that we delete your information by contacting us using the details at the end of this policy.

California residents. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act, you have the right to know what personal information we have collected about you, request a copy, request correction or deletion, and opt out of any sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell personal information. To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Other state privacy rights. Residents of Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws may have similar rights, including access, correction, deletion, portability, and opt-out of targeted advertising. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information below.

EU, UK, and other international visitors. If you visit the Site from a jurisdiction with data protection laws such as the GDPR or UK GDPR, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to our processing of your personal information, and to data portability. Our legal bases for processing are your consent (for marketing communications), the performance of pre-contractual or contractual steps (responding to your inquiry), and our legitimate interests in operating our business and Site. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to maintain business records, and to comply with legal obligations. Inquiry information is generally retained for the duration of our communication and a reasonable period afterward. Employment application materials are retained according to our recruiting practices and applicable employment law. Marketing list information is retained until you opt out.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted over the internet.

Children's Privacy

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

Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to third-party websites and platforms, including social media and the websites of our affiliates and partners. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Please review their privacy policies before sharing information with them.

International Transfers

Longfellow operates in the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The Effective Date above indicates when the current version took effect. Material changes will be noted on the Site, and where required by law, we will provide additional notice.
