Your information.
A clear explanation.

Updated 28 October 2026

Who is responsible

For questions about this website and the information described in this notice, contact Valtaris at valtaris@ik.me.

When you browse

The website has no advertising trackers or visitor analytics scripts. Fonts are served from this website. Cloudflare delivers and protects the site, which involves processing connection information such as your IP address and browser request.

Your website-package currency choice is saved in your browser’s local storage. Your motion preference lasts for the current tab session. Neither stores your contact details. Clear this site’s browser storage to remove the currency choice; closing the tab also ends the motion preference.

Your project draft and sample review

The guided project form saves your answers and editable brief in session storage only if you choose “Keep my project brief in this tab”. It does not save the reply name or email fields. The saved draft expires after 24 hours; closing the tab or choosing Clear draft also removes it. On a shared device, leave saving off. No site is fetched when you type a URL. Live website scanning and AI concept generation are unavailable. The separate Northline review fixture and renderer are fictional, local demonstrations. They do not review the current showcase sites, and their synthetic scores do not describe your website.

When you send an inquiry

The form asks for a reply email and project brief. Your name, business and service choice are optional. It also records your selected package, currency and inquiry context where applicable. We use this information to understand your request, respond and discuss a possible project. If you ask us to take steps towards a contract with you, that is the basis for the necessary processing. For other business inquiries, the basis is our legitimate interest in responding to relevant requests and managing business correspondence.

You review your inquiry before sending it. When direct submission is enabled, it passes through Cloudflare to a private Google Sheet, using Google Apps Script, and creates an email notification in the Valtaris business mailbox hosted by Infomaniak. A reference, receipt time and notification status help us manage the request and prevent duplicate records. We can also import inquiries and business emails into our private customer workspace, stored using Cloudflare. This helps us review requests, prepare responses and keep the relevant conversation together. We count saved inquiries by date and service; these are not measurements of your browsing history.

Cloudflare Turnstile loads when you open a direct-send review and checks technical browser and connection signals to help prevent abuse. Protecting the website and its inquiry service is our legitimate interest for this processing. See the Turnstile Privacy Addendum for Cloudflare’s processing of these signals.

You can instead email valtaris@ik.me. If the direct form is unavailable, the email option prepares a draft in your own email app; you choose whether to send it. Without a reply address and enough project detail, we may be unable to respond usefully. Please do not send passwords, payment details or confidential customer records.

Instagram and Facebook Messenger

If you contact Valtaris through Instagram or Facebook Messenger, Meta processes that interaction under its own privacy policy. Where our account integration is enabled, we receive message text, account-scoped sender and conversation identifiers, timestamps and relevant reply or delivery records. We use these records to understand and respond to your request, keep the conversation together and respect your contact preferences, on the inquiry-processing bases explained above.

Relevant messages and identifiers are stored in our private customer workspace hosted on Cloudflare. We may use relevant conversation content with OpenAI’s Codex to help assess a request and prepare a response. Replies prepared by this workflow require human review before sending. The integration supports conversations with Valtaris; a public social profile does not authorize unsolicited direct messages.

Invoice-first projects

Choosing a package or requesting a quote takes no payment and creates no invoice. After an agreed written scope, an authorized invoice provides the final amount, currency and bank-transfer instructions. No bank-account details are entered into the public website. Any historical payment-return page is not evidence that a payment was received.

Service providers

If a project uses Stripe Checkout, Stripe collects payment details on its hosted checkout. Valtaris stores the agreed payment stage, amount, currency, provider identifiers and payment or refund status in its private operational records. Card numbers and security codes are not entered into our website or stored in our control panel. Test checkouts use separate sandbox records and do not collect real money. Stripe explains its processing in its privacy policy.

Cloudflare provides hosting, security, the inquiry API and notification delivery. Google provides Apps Script and Sheets for inquiry records. Infomaniak provides the receiving business mailbox. We may use OpenAI’s Codex to help assess a request and draft a response from the relevant conversation. Drafts are reviewed before they are sent. Please do not include passwords, payment details or sensitive personal information in an inquiry. These services can process data in different countries; using this website is not a promise that all data stays in the EU. Their published policies explain their own processing and transfer arrangements: Cloudflare, Google, Infomaniak, OpenAI and Meta.

The inquiry Sheet is private. This form does not subscribe you to a mailing list, publish your details or make an automated decision about whether you become a customer.

How long information is kept

For inquiries that do not become projects, we delete the inquiry record from our private Google Sheet and the related correspondence from our business mailbox six months after our last conversation. Project records may need a separate retention period based on the agreement and applicable obligations; those arrangements are confirmed before work begins.

Your choices and rights

Contact valtaris@ik.me to ask about information you have supplied. Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you can request access, correction, deletion, restriction or a portable copy, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. We may need proportionate information to confirm that a request concerns your data. You can also complain to your competent data-protection authority. The European Commission explains these rights.

Request deletion of your information

Email valtaris@ik.me with the subject “Data deletion request”. For an Instagram or Messenger conversation, tell us which platform you used, your username or profile link and the approximate conversation date so we can locate the relevant records. Do not send a password or identity document with your initial request. We may ask for proportionate verification before acting.

You can ask us to delete the inquiry, conversation and related records held by Valtaris, including copies in our private customer workspace. This request concerns Valtaris-held information; Meta’s own account records are managed separately through Meta. Any applicable obligation to retain particular records is considered when handling your request.

Interactive demos

The five current showcase sites are original fictional businesses with synthetic products, rooms, services, projects and work records. Their photographs are AI-generated illustrations. They demonstrate local interface behavior, not client results, real availability or professional assessments. They do not place orders, reserve rooms or appointments, send inquiries, take payment, or connect to business systems.

These examples use separate browser-local stores, so choices can remain after a refresh:

• Alder & Serein keeps your bag, saved objects and saved selection.
• Elmbrook Tide House keeps a draft stay plan and a saved itinerary: dates, guest and room counts, room choice and extras.
• Veymont Motor Studio keeps the service, vehicle category, options and example date/session when you choose to save a plan.
• Morrow & Rill keeps the selected space, scope, priorities, conversation preference and project stage.
• Routelith keeps status changes to fictional work items and the latest undo record. Workspace filter choices can also appear in the page URL.

The showcase tools do not request identity, contact or payment details. Use their reset or clear controls, or clear this site’s browser storage, to remove saved choices. Some controls reset the current draft while keeping a separately saved selection; the tool explains that distinction. If storage is unavailable, unsaved changes may be lost when you leave or reload, and an older readable saved state may return.

Morrow & Rill downloads a text brief and Routelith exports the visible fictional work records as CSV only when you choose those actions. These files are created on your device; no external recipient receives them. The shared disclosure ribbon’s Pause/Play preference uses session storage. The separate sample-review page uses local synthetic fixtures and a network-disabled concept preview; its URL-format check does not fetch the URL.
