Privacy policy.

Last updated 4 October 2026

made. by ac is a design and development studio in Visakhapatnam, India. This page explains, in plain words, what this website collects about you and what we do with it. We collect very little.

What we collect

We only collect what you choose to give us, plus basic visit statistics.

  • Contact form: the name, email address, WhatsApp or phone number and message you type in. The email and phone number are optional, but we need at least one to reply.
  • WhatsApp, email and phone: if you message or call us, we receive whatever you send and your number or address. Those services have their own privacy terms.
  • Visit statistics: we use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views. It does not use cookies and does not follow you across other websites. It records things like the page visited, referring site, device type, browser and country.

What we do not do

We do not use advertising trackers, we do not build profiles of visitors and we do not sell or rent your details. The fonts on this site are served from our own address, so no font provider sees your visit.

What the site stores in your browser

No tracking cookies. The site keeps a few small settings so it behaves nicely, and they never leave your device:

  • made-temp: your choice of light (amber, paper or slate) on the studio section.
  • made-intro-seen: remembers, for this visit only, that you have already seen the opening animation.
  • made-scroll: remembers, for this visit only, where you were on a page so Back returns you there.

Why we use your details

To reply to your message, to talk with you about a project and, if you become a client, to run it. That is the only purpose. We will not use your enquiry to add you to a mailing list unless you ask us to.

Who handles it for us

A few providers process data so the site works. They act on our instructions:

  • Vercel hosts the website and provides the analytics. Its servers can be outside India.
  • Resend delivers the contact form to our inbox as an email. It processes your name, contact details and message while delivering them, and its servers can be outside India.
  • Our email provider holds the messages we receive in the studio mailbox.

How long we keep it

Enquiries stay in our mailbox for as long as we need them to reply, to run a project and to keep a record of the conversation. If you want yours removed sooner, ask and we will delete it. The website itself does not store form submissions in any database.

Your choices

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it or ask us to delete it. We will do it unless the law requires us to keep it. If you have a complaint about how we have handled your data, write to us first and we will respond; you may also contact the relevant authority under Indian data protection law.

Children

This website is for businesses and adults. It is not aimed at children, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Links to other sites

We link to client sites, our own products and other services. Their privacy practices are their own, so check them when you arrive.

Changes

If what this site collects changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.

Contact

Questions, requests and complaints about your data go to thebrain@made-by-ac.com. We read every message ourselves.
