3. Client Information and Project Confidentiality

Havah Design Studio recognizes that clients may share confidential or proprietary information while developing a brand, website, business strategy, digital solution, or other project.

We will not intentionally disclose, sell, distribute, or provide a client's confidential business information, unpublished concepts, proprietary materials, logos, designs, business plans, strategies, or other private project information to another client for use in that client's project.

Materials provided by a client remain subject to the ownership rights of that client or the applicable third-party owner.

We may retain project information and files as reasonably necessary for business records, project support, legal compliance, or future services requested by the client.

4. Havah Concepts, Drafts, Prototypes and Preliminary Work

Havah Design Studio may provide prospective or current clients with concepts, mockups, website prototypes, layouts, drafts, design directions, recommendations, demonstrations, or other preliminary materials during the proposal and design process.

These materials may contain proprietary creative work belonging to Havah Design Studio.

Clients and prospective clients agree that preliminary concepts, drafts, prototypes, mockups, or other materials presented by Havah Design Studio may not be shared, distributed, reproduced, copied, implemented, modified, given to another designer or developer, or otherwise used outside of the applicable project or agreement without prior written permission from Havah Design Studio.

Presentation or delivery of a draft, concept, or prototype does not constitute a transfer of ownership or permission for unrestricted use.

Final ownership and usage rights are governed by the applicable proposal, Services Agreement, Statement of Work, license, or other written agreement between Havah Design Studio and the client.

5. Portfolio and Marketing Use of Completed Projects

Havah Design Studio is proud to showcase completed work as examples of our services and creative capabilities.

Unless a client requests otherwise, the final approved project may be displayed as part of Havah Design Studio's portfolio and marketing efforts. This may include the client's:

Final logo or brand identity
Completed website or website screenshots
Final graphics or marketing materials
Business or organization name
Publicly available portions of the completed project

Completed work may appear on the Havah Design Studio website, social media accounts, digital portfolio, presentations, proposals, advertisements, case studies, or other promotional materials.

Opting Out of Marketing Use

A client may request that their completed project not be used for marketing or portfolio purposes.

Clients may make this request:

Before the project begins;
During the project; or
After project completion.

Requests may be submitted to sheri@havahdesign.com.

If a client asks that completed work not be displayed, Havah Design Studio will honor that request for future marketing use. Where reasonably possible, previously published digital materials will also be removed.

Choosing not to allow portfolio or marketing use will not affect the services provided to the client.

Havah Design Studio may use third-party services to operate its business and provide services to clients. These may include website hosting providers, website-development platforms, payment processors, scheduling tools, email providers, cloud-storage services, analytics providers, customer-management systems, and other technology providers.
