Privacy Policy

This policy explains what we collect when you visit tuskcreativestudios.com or reach out to us, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep this plain and honest, the same way we run the studio.

Who we are

Tusk Creative Studios is a digital marketing and web design studio based in Newport Beach, California, founded by Austin Simpkins. When this policy says "we," "us," or "the studio," that is who we mean. You can reach us any time at hello@tuskcreativestudios.com.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you submit a form or email us, we collect the details you choose to share. That usually means your name, email address, phone number, company name, the service you are interested in, and whatever you write in your message.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we collect some technical data when you browse: your IP address, device and browser type, the pages you view, how you arrived at the site, and how you move through it. This comes from cookies and similar technologies described below.

How we use your information

  • To respond to your inquiry and book your free discovery call.
  • To provide, quote, and deliver our services.
  • To understand how the site is used so we can improve it.
  • To measure our advertising and reach people who would find our work useful.
  • To send follow-ups or updates you have asked for. You can opt out at any time.
  • To meet legal, tax, and security obligations.

Cookies and tracking technologies

We use cookies and tags to run analytics and advertising. Depending on your consent and our current configuration, these may include Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Google Ads, and, if enabled, the Meta (Facebook) pixel. They help us see which pages perform, measure ad results, and improve the experience. Some of these set their own cookies and may recognize activity across sites.

When you first visit, we show a consent banner and, until you choose, hold these technologies in a consent-denied state using Google Consent Mode. You can accept or decline, and change your choice any time from Your Privacy Choices. For full detail on each technology, see our Cookie Policy.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings, and opt out of interest-based advertising through Google Ads Settings, the Meta ad preferences, and tools like the DAA opt-out page. We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where required.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in these limited ways:

  • Service providers who help us operate, such as our CRM (GoHighLevel) for managing inquiries, and Google and Meta for analytics and advertising. They may only use the data to perform services for us.
  • Legal reasons, if required by law or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
  • Business transfers, if the studio is ever involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Data retention

We keep your information for as long as we need it to respond to you, deliver our services, and meet legal or accounting requirements. When we no longer need it, we delete or anonymize it. You can ask us to remove your details sooner using the contact below.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell your personal information for money.

If you are a California resident, the CCPA and CPRA give you these rights, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising them. While we do not sell personal information, some advertising technologies may disclose device and activity data in ways the CPRA treats as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can opt out by declining in our consent banner, visiting Your Privacy Choices, or enabling the Global Privacy Control, which we honor. To make a request, email hello@tuskcreativestudios.com and we will verify and respond within the timeframe the law allows.

Categories of personal information we collect (California)

In the past twelve months we may have collected these categories of personal information, as defined by the CCPA: identifiers such as name, email, phone, and IP address; commercial information such as the services you inquire about; internet or network activity such as pages viewed and how you interact with the site; and geolocation inferred from your IP address. We collect this from you directly and automatically through the technologies described above. We use it for the business purposes described in this policy, and we disclose it to the service providers and advertising partners named here. We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about you.

Third-party links

Our site and blog may link to other websites we do not control. This policy does not cover their practices, so please review the privacy policy of any site you visit from here.

Children's privacy

Our services are meant for businesses and are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet is fully secure, so we cannot promise absolute security, but we work to keep your data safe.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our practices or the law change. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of the page. Significant changes will be made clear here.
