Privacy policy.
The short version: we use your info to answer your request and make your order. We don't sell it, and we don't share it except with the services that run this website and our email.
Who we are
Walsh Engraving LLC is a laser engraving shop at 1603 3rd Ave S, Fort Dodge, Iowa 50501. When this page says "we" or "us," it means Walsh Engraving. Questions about your information go to Lucas Walsh at walshengraving@gmail.com or (515) 408-5109.
What we collect
- Proof and quote requests. Your name, email, and anything else you choose to give us: company, phone, product or SKU, quantity, project details, and any artwork file you upload.
- Newsletter signups. Your email address.
- Catalog quote list. SKUs you add on our catalog pages are saved in your own browser until you close the tab. To show you the product name, the SKU (and nothing about you) is checked against our supplier's catalog.
- Site analytics. We use Google Analytics, which uses cookies to tell us things like which pages get visited, roughly where visitors are located, and what kind of device and browser they use. It does not give us your name or email.
- Server logs. Our web host keeps standard technical logs, such as IP addresses and browser type, to keep the site running and secure.
How we use it
- To reply to you, prepare your proof and quote, and complete your order.
- To send our newsletter, only if you signed up for it.
- To understand how people use the site so we can improve it.
Your artwork is used to make your proof and your order. We may photograph finished pieces for our gallery or social media. If you would rather we didn't show yours, just tell us and we won't.
Who we share it with
We never sell your information. We share it only with the services that help us run the business, and only what they need:
- Netlify hosts this website and receives form submissions.
- Google provides our email and Google Analytics.
- Mailchimp sends our newsletter. Automation tools such as Zapier may pass a signup from our website to Mailchimp.
- Shipping carriers get your name and address when we ship an order to you.
We may also share information if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
We keep requests and order records as long as we need them to serve you and for normal business and tax records. Newsletter addresses stay on the list until you unsubscribe.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe from the newsletter anytime using the link at the bottom of any email.
- Ask us to see, correct, or delete the information we have about you by emailing walshengraving@gmail.com.
