Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 1, 2026

​

JKAE ("JKAE," "we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the information you share with us through our website, www.jkaedesign.com.

​

This policy explains what information we collect through our website, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

​

Scope: This policy covers our website only. Information exchanged in the course of a project — drawings, site data, owner records, and other material provided under a professional services agreement — is governed by that agreement and by our professional obligations, not by this policy.

​

Information We Collect

Information You Voluntarily Provide

We collect information you choose to provide when you submit a contact form, request information about our services, apply for employment, or otherwise communicate with us through our website. This may include:

• Name

• Email address

• Phone number

• Company or organization name

• Resume or employment application materials

• Any information you choose to include in your message

​

Please do not send confidential or security-sensitive project material through our website forms. Website forms are not a secure channel. If you need to share sensitive documents, contact us and we will arrange a secure transfer.

​

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, ours automatically receives certain technical information when you visit, including browser type, device type, IP address, pages visited, and the date and time of access. We use this to maintain website functionality, security, and performance.

​

Cookies

Our website is hosted on the Wix platform. Wix sets cookies that are necessary for the site to operate, including cookies that maintain security, protect forms from unauthorized activity, and enable core functionality.

​

Wix also sets a cookie that identifies your browser as a returning visitor and records your visits to our site. It persists for up to two years and supports site analytics and system monitoring, which help us understand aggregate usage — such as which pages are visited most often — and keep the site running properly. This cookie does not identify you by name, and we do not use it to build a marketing profile or to follow you across other websites.

JKAE does not place advertising or marketing cookies, and we do not track visitors across other websites. Cookies set by embedded third-party content are described under Embedded content below.

​​

Embedded Content

Some pages on our website include videos hosted by YouTube, a service operated by Google. When a page containing an embedded video loads, YouTube may set cookies on your device and receive your IP address, even if you do not play the video. Google handles that information under its own privacy policy, which we do not control. If you prefer to avoid these cookies, you can block third-party cookies in your browser settings.

​

You may adjust cookie settings through your browser. Disabling certain cookies may affect how the site works.

​

How We Use Information

We use information collected through our website to:

• Respond to inquiries and requests

• Provide information about our services

• Evaluate employment applications

• Maintain website functionality, performance, and security

• Comply with legal, regulatory, and professional obligations

 

Sharing Information

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

​

We may share information with trusted service providers that help us operate our website or conduct business on our behalf. These providers are required to maintain appropriate safeguards for any information they process and may use it only to perform services for us.

​

We may also disclose information when required by law, subpoena, court order, or public records request, or when necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of JKAE, our employees, our clients, or others.

​

How Long We Keep Information

We keep information for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, and then for as long as required by law, our professional licensing obligations, and our records retention practices.

​

Employment application materials are retained for two years from the date of submission unless a longer period is required by law. If you are hired, your application becomes part of your employment record.

​

Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

​

California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, JKAE will honor requests to:

• Access the personal information we maintain about you

• Correct inaccurate personal information

• Delete personal information, subject to legal and professional recordkeeping exceptions
  ​

To make a request, contact us using the information below. We will verify your identity before responding, typically by confirming information we already have on file.

​

California's Online Privacy Protection Act also gives you the right to know what categories of personal information we collect and who we share them with. Both are described above.

​

Nevada Privacy Rights

Nevada law (NRS 603A.300–.360) allows Nevada residents to submit a verified request directing a website operator not to sell any covered information it has collected. JKAE does not sell covered information. If you would like to submit a request regardless, email marketing@jkaedesign.com.

​

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no consistent industry standard for how websites should respond, our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.

​

Children's Privacy

Our website is intended for a professional audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

​

Third-Party Websites

Our website contains links to third-party websites and social media platforms, and includes office address links that open in a mapping application such as Apple Maps or Google Maps. Following any of these links takes you to a service operated by another company, which collects information under its own privacy policy.

​

Our website also displays embedded video content hosted by YouTube, as described in the Cookies section above.

JKAE is not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party services, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

​

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
