Privacy policy

Effective 9 November 2026

This explains what information VelaFox Media collects, why, who it goes to and how to reach me about it. It's short on purpose. If anything here is unclear, email me.

Who I am

VelaFox Media is run by Jay Terrell in Huntington Beach, California. In this policy, "I" and "me" mean Jay Terrell and VelaFox Media. Contact details are at the bottom of this page.

What I collect

When you visit this site: there are no forms, no ads and no advertising or tracking cookies. I use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views and visits without cookies and without identifying you. Cloudflare hosts the site and processes standard request data (such as IP address and browser type) to deliver pages and protect the site from attacks; it may set a strictly necessary security cookie for that.
When you email, call or text me: your name, business name, email address, phone number and whatever you choose to tell me.
When you buy: checkout through Stripe collects your name, business name, email address, phone number, the web address you want or already have, and your card details. Stripe processes the card; I never see or store the full card number.
To build and run your site: the business details, text and photos you send me, and access to your web address settings when you give it to me.
Free previews: to build a preview I use information a business publishes about itself, such as its name, address, phone number, hours, services and public Google rating. I don't copy review text or photos. Previews are hidden from search engines and deleted within 30 days if the business doesn't go ahead.
Reaching out to businesses: I sometimes email or call a business about its preview using contact details the business has published, such as on its website, Google listing or a directory. Every email says who I am and how to say no thanks, and a no by any channel is permanent.

How I use it

To answer you, build previews, build and run your site and plan, take payment, send receipts and account emails, keep the records the law requires for taxes and accounting, and keep this site and my accounts secure. I don't sell your information, share it for advertising, or use it to build profiles of you.

Who I share it with

Only the services needed to do the work, and only what each one needs:

Stripe for payments, receipts and refunds.
Cloudflare for hosting, DNS, security and cookie-free web analytics.
Google Workspace for email and business records.
The domain registrar and hosting provider for your site, when I register a web address or set up hosting in your name. Registrars require the owner's contact details.
If you choose Automate, the texting, review request and booking tools that run those features. They receive what they need to work, such as the phone numbers of customers who call you.
When the law requires it, such as a valid court order.

Information reaches these services through their own secure systems, and they handle it under their own privacy policies. I don't share it with anyone else.

How I protect it

This site and every site I build use encrypted connections (HTTPS). Card details stay with Stripe. Access to the accounts that hold your information is limited to me, and those services have their own security programs. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your information, I'll tell you as the law requires.

How long I keep it

Previews: deleted within 30 days if the business doesn't go ahead.
Client and payment records: while you're a client, then as long as needed for taxes and accounting.
Outreach contact details: removed when no longer needed, except a no-thanks address, which I keep only so I never contact it again.

Your choices

You can ask me to show you, correct or delete the information I have about you, or to stop contacting you. Email or call me and I'll respond within 30 days. I may keep records the law requires me to keep, and I'll tell you if that applies.

Do Not Track

This site doesn't track you across other websites, and no third party collects personal information on it to follow you over time across sites. It works the same whether or not your browser sends a Do Not Track signal.

Children

This site and my services are for businesses and aren't directed to children under 16. I don't knowingly collect information from children.

Changes

If I change this policy, I'll update the date at the top. For significant changes, I'll also email current clients.
