This Privacy Policy describes how Impression Foundry LLC collects, uses, processes, discloses, protects, and retains personal information in connection with the Impression Foundry website, inquiries, and client services.
Impression Foundry LLC is a New Jersey limited liability company. In this Policy, “Impression Foundry,” “the studio,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Impression Foundry LLC.
Client services are currently offered only to individuals located in the United States, and the website is intended primarily for U.S. users.

The website and the service providers that support it may automatically collect technical and usage information such as:
IP address;
browser and device information;
operating system;
pages visited;
referring pages or sources;
approximate geographic location;

Please do not send Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, passwords, government identification numbers, full birth dates, medical records, or other highly sensitive information that is not reasonably necessary for the engagement.
If we receive such information unexpectedly, we may delete or redact it without retaining a copy where reasonably practicable.
2. How we use personal information

3. Service providers and technology
Impression Foundry uses third-party service providers and professional software to operate the business and perform engagements.
These providers may include services for:
website hosting and website forms;
email and communications;
file and document storage;
payment processing;
document creation and production;
productivity and business operations;
website analytics;
security and fraud prevention; and
AI-assisted and other technology tools.
Squarespace currently provides website hosting and related website functionality.
PayPal currently provides payment-processing services.
Google Analytics 4 is used for website analytics as described below.
Other technology providers may be used in the studio's internal workflow.
Information and materials you provide may be processed through service providers and software where reasonably necessary to operate the business, respond to your request, perform an engagement, secure systems, or provide the services described in this Policy.
4. AI-assisted tools
Impression Foundry may use AI-assisted technologies and other software during client work.
These tools may assist with research, analysis, drafting, editing, revision, formatting, quality control, document review, ATS-related review, and other document-development work.
Impression Foundry remains responsible for reviewing and approving final client deliverables.
The studio selects tools and account settings with confidentiality in mind and uses business, privacy, or data controls where reasonably available to limit unnecessary secondary use of client content.
Third-party technology providers remain subject to their own terms, privacy practices, security measures, retention practices, and technical systems.
Impression Foundry may change particular providers or software without updating this Policy where the categories of processing and purposes described here do not materially change.
5. When personal information may be disclosed
We may disclose personal information:
to service providers and software platforms reasonably necessary to operate the website or studio, administer an engagement, or perform client work;
when you direct, request, or authorize the disclosure;
to legal, accounting, insurance, or other professional advisers where reasonably necessary and subject to appropriate professional or contractual confidentiality obligations;
where reasonably necessary to detect or investigate fraud, misuse, security threats, unlawful activity, or violations of an agreement;
where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, protect, or defend legal rights;
when required or reasonably necessary to respond to applicable law, a subpoena, court order, governmental request, or other lawful process; or
in connection with a financing, merger, acquisition, sale, reorganization, conversion, or transfer of all or part of the business, subject to applicable legal obligations.
6. What we do not do
Impression Foundry does not sell personal information.
Impression Foundry does not disclose personal information to third parties for those third parties' own targeted advertising or marketing.
Impression Foundry does not publish, name, or reference clients or use client documents, career information, stories, or outcomes in marketing without written permission.
Impression Foundry does not require or request a LinkedIn password or login credentials as part of a LinkedIn profile engagement.
Impression Foundry does not currently operate a newsletter or send promotional marketing emails as part of its ordinary business practices.
7. Google Analytics and cookies
This site uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google, to help Impression Foundry understand how visitors find and use the website and to improve its content, performance, and services.
Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, site interactions, approximate geographic location, browser and device information, referring pages or sources, session information, and pseudonymous identifiers through cookies and similar technologies.
Google Analytics uses first-party cookies, including cookies used to distinguish users and maintain session information.
Impression Foundry does not intentionally send resumes, names, email addresses, form contents, or other directly identifying information submitted by clients or prospective clients to Google Analytics and does not use Google Analytics to identify individual visitors or clients.
Google processes information collected through Google Analytics according to Google's own terms, privacy practices, and data controls. More information is available in Google's explanation of how it uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Impression Foundry does not currently use Google Analytics advertising features for remarketing or advertising personalization and does not currently use the site to disclose personal information to third parties for their own targeted advertising.
The website and Squarespace may also use cookies, logs, or similar technologies necessary for website operation, security, performance, and functionality.
You may be able to control or delete cookies through your browser or device settings. Blocking some cookies may affect website functionality.
If applicable law requires Impression Foundry to recognize a legally valid browser-based privacy or opt-out signal for a particular processing activity, Impression Foundry will do so as required.
8. Retention and deletion
Impression Foundry follows a data-minimization approach and seeks to retain sensitive client working materials only as long as reasonably useful for the engagement and related support.
Unless a longer period is reasonably necessary for a legal obligation, dispute, regulatory requirement, security purpose, or other legitimate business need, client working files are ordinarily deleted within 12 months after an engagement is completed.
Materials submitted with an inquiry that does not become an engagement are ordinarily deleted within 6 months.
Certain business and legal records may be retained for longer periods where reasonably necessary or required. These may include:
engagement confirmations and contracts;
acceptance records;
pricing and fee records;
invoices and payment records;
receipts;
delivery and completion records;
communications necessary to document an engagement;
complaint and dispute records;
advertising or regulatory records;
tax and accounting records;
fraud-prevention or security records; and
records reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
You may request deletion of client materials by emailing hello@impressionfoundry.com.
We will honor a deletion request where reasonably practicable and required by applicable law. We may retain information where reasonably necessary or legally permitted for accounting, tax, security, backup, fraud prevention, contractual, regulatory, recordkeeping, dispute-resolution, or legal purposes.
Residual copies may remain temporarily in routine backups or third-party systems until removed through those systems' ordinary retention processes.
Third-party providers may also retain information according to their own legal obligations and retention policies.
9. Security and security incidents
Impression Foundry uses reasonable administrative, technical, and operational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information handled.
Access to client information is limited to the founder and the service providers reasonably necessary to operate the studio and perform engagements.
No method of electronic transmission, storage, or processing can be guaranteed completely secure. Impression Foundry therefore does not promise absolute security or the security of systems independently operated by third parties.
If Impression Foundry determines that a security incident creates a legal notification obligation, notice will be provided as required by applicable law.
10. Your privacy choices
You may contact Impression Foundry at hello@impressionfoundry.com to request:
reasonable access to personal information associated with you;
correction of inaccurate information;
a copy of information you provided; or
deletion of client materials.
We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before acting on a privacy request.
Certain legal, contractual, security, operational, regulatory, recordkeeping, or other exceptions may apply.
Where applicable law gives you additional privacy rights, Impression Foundry will honor those rights as required.
Impression Foundry will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right that applicable law gives you.
Because Impression Foundry does not currently sell personal information or disclose it for third-party targeted advertising, there is no separate opt-out process for those activities.
11. Communications
Impression Foundry uses service-related communications to respond to inquiries and administer engagements.
These communications may include acknowledgments, questions, engagement confirmations, payment requests, intake materials, drafts, revisions, delivery messages, support communications, and other messages relating to a request or engagement.
Impression Foundry does not currently operate a newsletter or routine promotional email program.
If those practices materially change, this Policy will be updated as appropriate, and any consent or opt-out mechanism required by applicable law will be provided.
12. Children and non-U.S. users
Impression Foundry's services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 18.
The studio does not knowingly solicit engagements from or intentionally collect personal information from children under 18.
Client services are currently offered only to individuals located in the United States.
If you are outside the United States, please do not submit an order request or upload career materials through the website.
13. Changes to this Privacy Policy
Impression Foundry may update this Privacy Policy as its practices, technology, providers, services, or legal obligations change.
The effective date at the top of this page identifies the current version.
Material changes will be communicated where required by applicable law.
