We respect your privacy and want to be entirely clear about our data practices: we do not track you for marketing purposes. We do not build advertising profiles, we do not use third-party targeting cookies, and we absolutely do not sell or share your data with advertisers or data brokers.

The only automatic data collection that occurs on LedeDesigns is strictly for maintaining the security, stability, and integrity of our website. When you visit, our servers and firewall systems temporarily log basic technical routing data. This is limited to your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the timestamp of your access.

This technical information is used exclusively as a defensive measure to:

• Detect, prevent, and block malicious activity, such as botnet attacks, vulnerability scanning, and spam.
• Monitor for unusual traffic patterns to keep our server infrastructure stable and online.
• Investigate specific security incidents or suspected abuse of our systems.

(For EEA/UK Users): Under the GDPR, our lawful basis for processing this technical data is our Legitimate Interest in protecting our network, ensuring information security, and preventing fraudulent or illegal activity.

To host the site and maintain our security perimeter, we utilize trusted hosting and infrastructure providers. These providers act solely as data processors. They only access these server logs to provide essential hosting and security services to us, and they are strictly prohibited from utilizing your technical data for their own marketing, tracking, or profiling.

Security logs are ephemeral. We only retain them for the short period necessary to detect anomalies and protect the site infrastructure, after which they are routinely and automatically purged. Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data (such as access or deletion). However, because these specific logs are categorized as critical for security and fraud prevention under various privacy laws (including the GDPR and US state regulations), we may be legally permitted or required to temporarily retain certain threat-related logs even if a deletion request is made.
