Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how DoodleWerks LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit the doodlewerks.io marketing website (the "Site"). This policy applies only to this marketing website. Our products, including PressForge AI, maintain their own separate privacy policies governing product-specific data handling at pressforge.ai.

By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. About This Site

The doodlewerks.io website is a static marketing and informational site for DoodleWerks LLC, a veteran-owned technology consulting and SaaS product company based in Missouri. The Site provides information about our company, services, and products. This Site does not offer account creation, user login, payment processing, e-commerce, AI generation, or any interactive application features.

2. Information We Collect

Because this is a marketing website with no user accounts or interactive features, the information we collect is minimal.

2.1 Analytics Data (Automatically Collected)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Site. Google Analytics may collect the following technical and usage data:

  • Pages visited and navigation paths
  • Time spent on each page and session duration
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet), browser type and version, and operating system
  • Screen resolution
  • Approximate geographic location (city level, derived from IP address)
  • Referral source (how you arrived at the Site)
  • Click patterns and interactions

We have enabled IP anonymization in our Google Analytics configuration, so your full IP address is never stored by Google Analytics. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Our hosting provider (Firebase Hosting / Google Cloud) automatically collects standard server log data when you visit the Site, including:

  • IP address

Server log data is used for security monitoring, performance optimization, and troubleshooting. This data is not combined with other personal information and is retained according to our hosting provider's standard retention periods.

2.3 Google Fonts

This Site uses Google Fonts to display web typography. When you visit the Site, your browser makes a request to Google's servers to load font files. Google may collect your IP address and browser information as part of serving these files. See Google's Privacy Policy and Google Fonts Privacy FAQ for details.
