rhṓmē Contrology Studio ( “rhṓmē”, “we”, “us” or “our”) and Squarespace respect your privacy. When it comes to your personal information, we believe in transparency. That’s why we’ve set out here what personal information we collect, what we do with it and your choices and rights.

By using or accessing any of our sites, templates, products, applications, tools, services and features (collectively, the "Services"), you confirm you have agreed to the Terms of Service and have read and understood this Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy.

We collect various information regarding you or your device. This includes the following:

Account Information: 

• Customer Account Details: Information you provide to create an account, specifically email address, password, first name and last name.

How we collect your information

We obtain information about you from various sources. We do this in three main ways:

• Provision of the Services to Customers. Create and manage your account, configure and update your sites and site settings, register or transfer your domain names, process your payments to us, and receive support for your inquiries. If you use the Payments Services, in accordance with the Squarespace Payments Terms, this also includes the set up, management and provision of the Payments Services to you, the integration of the Payments Services with the Processor Services and the initiation of transactions on your behalf.

• Communicating with you. Communicate with you, including by sending you emails about your transactions and Service-related announcements.
