Effective Date: July 31, 2025
At Hotwire Productions, we value your privacy. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website at https://hotwireproductions.net.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://hotwireproductions.net. We are a web design and digital services company based in Kentucky, offering custom websites, social media content, and online marketing solutions.
Information We Collect
We may collect personal data from you in several ways:
-
Form submissions: When you fill out forms on our site (e.g. contact forms, quote requests), we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, and any message or project details you include.
-
Comments: When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address, and your browser’s user agent string to help with spam detection.
-
Media uploads: If you upload images or files, you should avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors may be able to download and extract location information.
Cookies
We use cookies to improve your browsing experience and help our site function properly. Cookies are small data files stored on your device.
-
If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These last for one year.
-
Temporary cookies may be set to test your browser’s cookie settings or to save login and screen preferences (if applicable).
-
If you edit or publish content, a cookie will be saved to identify the post ID. This expires after one day.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, some parts of the website may not function properly if you do so.
Google Analytics & Tracking
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website and improve user experience. Google Analytics collects information such as:
- IP Address
-
Pages visited
-
Time spent on the site
-
Device and browser type
-
Geographic location (approximate)
-
Referral sources
Google may use cookies and similar technologies to collect this data. This information is anonymized and does not personally identify you.
If you prefer not to be tracked, you can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We do not combine analytics data with personally identifiable information unless you explicitly submit it via a form.
Embedded Content from Other Sites
Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, maps, social media feeds). Embedded content from other websites behaves just as if you visited those websites directly. These sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction, especially if you are logged in to their platforms.
How Long We Keep Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve future comments automatically.
If you submit a form or quote request, we retain that information for internal business purposes unless you request its removal.
If you register on our site (if applicable), we store the personal information in your user profile. You can see, edit, or delete your personal data at any time (except your username). Website administrators can also view and manage this data.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
We may share limited data with trusted third-party service providers (such as our email or analytics platforms) for business operations. These providers are required to keep your data secure and confidential.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Your Rights
You may request an export of any personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we delete this data, except for information we are required to retain for legal, security, or administrative purposes.
To request access or deletion, please contact us at: hello@hotwireproductions.net

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
