Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 5, 2026
Micah Winkelstein Architect A.P.C. (“W Arc,” “we,” “I”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information this website collects and how it is used.
Information you provide
If you contact me through a form on this site, by email, or by phone, I collect the information you choose to share: typically your name, email address, phone number, and information about your property or project. I use it to respond to your inquiry, evaluate your project, and communicate with you about my services. I do not sell your information, and I do not share it with third parties except the service providers described below.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, this site uses cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use it. This includes Google Analytics (traffic and usage statistics), Google Ads (measuring whether our advertising works), and HubSpot (managing inquiries and communications). These services may collect your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and similar technical data. None of this identifies you personally unless you submit a form.
What I do not collect
This site does not collect or store payment information, government identification numbers, health information, or other sensitive personal data. Project files and client records are maintained privately and are not part of this website.
Third-party services
This site relies on a small number of service providers to function: website hosting, Google Analytics and Google Ads (Google LLC), and HubSpot (CRM and marketing). Each processes data under its own privacy policy. Links or embedded content from other sites (for example, social media) are governed by the policies of those sites.
Your choices and rights
You can decline cookies in your browser settings, use ad-blocking tools, and opt out of Google Analytics with the Google browser add-on. California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including the right to know what personal information has been collected and to request its deletion. To exercise any of these rights, contact me directly.
Retention
Inquiry information is kept as long as needed to respond to you and, if we work together, for the duration of the professional relationship and any period required by law or professional records-retention practice.
