Privacy policy
Last updated October 8, 2026
What we collect, why, who helps us handle it, and how to have it deleted. The short version: we collect only what we need to reply to you and build your website, we don’t track you around the web, and we never sell your information.
Who we are
Cornerstone Designers is a web design studio run by Taylor Odom in Newberry, South Carolina. “We” and “us” on this page mean Cornerstone Designers.

What we collect
- When you contact us or fill in our project questions: your name, email address and phone number, your business name and type, and the answers you give about your business and the website you want.
- When you pay us: payments are handled by Stripe. Your full card or bank account number goes to Stripe and never reaches us. We see your name, email, billing address, the amount paid and the last four digits of the card or account.
- When you visit the site: like every web host, ours (Netlify) records basic technical information such as your IP address and browser type, to deliver pages and keep the site secure. We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies or local storage and doesn’t follow you across other websites. It tells us which pages are viewed, which site a visitor came from, the browser, operating system and type of device, the country, and how quickly pages load. It never sees what you type into our forms. We don’t use advertising trackers or cookies.
- On your own device: your browser remembers two small preferences for you, light or dark mode and whether you paused the homepage video. They stay on your device and are never sent to us.
How we use it
To reply to you, send our project questions and follow-up emails, prepare your written quote, build and support your website, take payment, and keep the business records we’re required to keep. We don’t sell or rent your information, and we don’t use it for advertising.
Who helps us
We use a few services to run the studio. Each one handles your information only to provide its service to us:
- Netlify hosts this website and receives the forms you send.
- Zoho runs our email.
- Resend sends our automatic emails, such as the project questions after you get in touch.
- Stripe processes payments, receipts and monthly billing.
- Google Fonts serves the typefaces on this site, so your browser connects to Google to load them.
- Cloudflare manages this website’s domain name and counts visits to the site, without cookies.
If we emailed your business
We sometimes email local businesses about specific problems we noticed on their websites. We use only the contact details a business publishes on its own website. Every email says who we are and how to opt out: reply “no thanks” and we won’t email you again.
How long we keep it
We keep project and payment records for as long as we need them for the work and for tax and accounting purposes. You can ask us to delete your information at any time, and we will, except for records the law requires us to keep.
Your choices
Email hello@cornerstonedesigners.com to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted. You can stop our emails at any time by replying “no thanks”.
Health information
We build websites for medical and dental practices, but we don’t handle protected health information. Please don’t send us anything from a patient record, through our forms or by email.
Children
This site and our services are for businesses and adults. We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes
If we change this policy, we’ll update it here and change the date at the top.
