This page explains what information the Center Punch Creative website collects, why, who sees it, and the choices you have. It covers centerpunchcreative.com. Effective date: October 30, 2026
Who we are
This website is run by Center Punch Creative, LLC, a creative and production shop at 2315 E. Court St., Suite B, Beatrice, NE 68310. You can reach us at [email protected] or (402) 806-2277.
For questions about your information, email [email protected].
Information you give us
When you send a message. Our contact form asks for your name, email address and message. Your phone number and business or organization name are optional.
When you start a project. Our project form asks what you need, a description of the project, whether you have artwork, your name and your email address. You can also tell us who the project is for, an approximate quantity, the date you need it, how firm that date is, your phone number, your business or organization, and whether you prefer email or a phone call.
Files you attach. You can attach up to five artwork or reference files to a project request. They are stored privately on our website and only CPC staff who sign in can download them.
When you send us your artwork. Our artwork form asks for your files or a link to your website or social page, your name, your business, and an email address or phone number.
When you join our email list. Our signup asks only for your email address.
When we prepare a quote for you. We save your contact details (name, business or organization, email, phone and, if you give it, billing address) and whether you’re tax-exempt, so you don’t have to give them again next time.
When you approve a quote, sign our service agreement or answer an artwork proof online. We record the name you enter, your answers (including any marketing permission and requested changes) and the date and time.
Information collected when you use the site
- Where a request came from. With each message or project request we record the page you sent it from, including any service you had selected, and any campaign code or tracking tags (such as “utm_source”) in the link that brought you to our site. Those tags are kept in your browser for the current visit only and are sent to us only if you submit a form.
- Spam protection. To limit repeated submissions, our forms use your internet (IP) address for 15 minutes in a scrambled form that can’t be turned back into the address. Our forms do not store the address itself.
- Short-term copies. If a form has a problem, or after you send it, the site keeps a temporary copy of what you entered so it can show it back to you. The copy expires after 30 minutes and is removed by the site’s routine cleanup.
- Old and missing links. When someone uses an old address on our site, or one that doesn’t exist, the site records the address, the page that linked to it, the browser type, and the date and time, so we can fix broken links. It doesn’t record IP addresses, and these records are deleted after 30 days.
- Server logs. Our host, NixiHost, keeps standard web server logs. For each visit they record the IP address, browser, date and time, and the page requested. The logs are deleted after 90 days, though copies may remain in our host’s backups for a limited time. Our hosting account’s statistics tool also turns these logs into monthly visit summaries, which include IP addresses and have no set deletion date. We use them only to see overall traffic to our site.
Cookies and similar technology
Our own forms do not set cookies. WordPress sets cookies only for CPC staff who sign in to manage the site. Our pages load no analytics, advertising or tracking scripts. Our email signup is our own form, so it loads nothing from Klaviyo. The links to our Facebook and Instagram pages are ordinary links. If you pay a quote by card, Stripe’s payment form may set its own cookies to help prevent fraud.
How we use your information
- To reply to your message, prepare a quote and do the work you ask for.
- To see which pages and campaigns lead people to contact us.
- To send our email newsletter, only if you sign up for it.
Sending a message or a project request never adds you to our email list.
Who sees it and where it goes
- CPC staff. Your message or request is saved in our website, and a copy of what you entered (with file names, but not the files) is emailed to our shared inbox, [email protected], which NixiHost hosts.
- Staff phone alerts. When a new request arrives, our team gets a phone notification through the Pushover service. It contains the kind of request, a reference number and your name, never your contact details or message.
- Klaviyo, for our email list. If you sign up, your email address and where on our site you signed up are sent to Klaviyo, the service that sends our newsletter. Klaviyo sends a confirmation email, and you are on the list once you confirm. Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link. If Klaviyo can’t be reached when you sign up, our site holds your address while it retries for up to about two days and deletes its copy once Klaviyo has it. If it still can’t get through, CPC staff are notified to add or discard the address by hand.
- Stripe, for card payments. If you pay a quote by card, you pay in Stripe’s secure payment form, which opens on the quote page. We send Stripe the amount and your email address, and Stripe tells us when the payment goes through. Your card details go to Stripe, never to us.
- Our website host. NixiHost hosts our website and email. The website, including saved requests and attached files, is stored on NixiHost’s servers in the Dallas–Fort Worth area of Texas.
- Cloudflare, for security and delivery. Visits to our website pass through Cloudflare, which helps protect the site and deliver its pages. To do that, Cloudflare handles your IP address and the details of each page request, under its own privacy policy.
We do not sell your information.
Past online-store customers
Our earlier online store has closed. Records of past orders and store customer accounts are kept by CPC for seven years as business and tax records. They are stored in encrypted files kept offline and are not part of this website.
How long we keep information
- Messages, project requests and attached files: three years after our last contact with you. If we produced a job for you, the job records may be kept longer as part of our business records.
- Customer details saved for quotes: kept with your quotes and job records as part of our business records.
- Server logs: 90 days (see “Server logs” above for backups and monthly visit summaries).
- Records of old and missing links: 30 days.
- Email-list addresses: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them. After you unsubscribe, Klaviyo keeps your address on a do-not-email list so you aren’t emailed again. Ask us if you want it deleted completely.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe from our email list at any time with the link in any newsletter.
- Ask to see, correct or delete the information you have sent us. Email [email protected]. We may need to confirm it is you before we act.
Keeping information safe
Attached files are stored where only signed-in CPC staff can reach them. SStaff alerts carry your name but no other personal details, and access to submitted requests is limited to the people who handle them. No website can promise perfect security, but we work to protect what you share with us.
Children
This site is meant for adults, businesses and organizations and is not directed to children. If you believe a child has sent us information, email [email protected] and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
When we change this policy, we will update this page and its effective date.
