Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 November 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Everydesigns (“Everydesigns”, “we”, “us”) collects when you visit www.everydesigns.net (the “Site”) or use our design contests and services, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

By using the Site you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Site. This policy should be read together with our Terms and Conditions.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

Account details: your name, email address, password (stored in hashed form), role (customer or designer) and profile details you choose to add.
Project details: the design brief, business name, industry, colours, sample preferences, files and images you upload, and messages you exchange with designers.
Designer details: the designs you upload, portfolio information, and payout details needed to pay you.
Payment details: the amount, date and PayPal transaction reference of a payment. Your card or PayPal login details are handled by PayPal and are never stored by us.
Messages you send us through the contact form or by email.

Information collected automatically

Device and usage data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring page and the date and time of your visit.
Cookies and similar technologies, described in section 5.

Information from third parties

If you sign in with Google or Facebook, we receive your name, email address and profile picture from that service, based on the permissions you allow. We do not receive your Google or Facebook password.

2. How we use your information

To create and manage your account and to run your design project or contest.
To show your brief to designers and show designers’ entries to the contest holder.
To process payments, issue refunds and prevent fraud.
To send service emails such as launch confirmations, new entry alerts, messages and receipts.
To answer your questions and give support.
To understand how the Site is used and to improve it.
To protect the Site and its users, and to meet our legal duties.

We send promotional email only where the law allows it, and every such email has an unsubscribe link.

3. Who we share information with

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as described below:

Other users: a contest brief is visible to designers, and the designs and the winning design are visible as described in the contest settings (a private or blind contest limits what others can see). Your public profile shows the name and details you choose to display.
Service providers who work for us: hosting, email delivery, payment processing (PayPal), sign-in (Google, Facebook) and analytics (Google Analytics, if switched on). They may use your information only to provide their service to us.
Legal and safety: when required by law, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Everydesigns, our users or the public.
Business transfer: if Everydesigns is merged with or sold to another company, your information may be transferred to it, under this policy.

4. How long we keep information

We keep your information while your account is active and for as long as needed to provide the service, keep records of payments and contests (for tax, accounting and dispute purposes), and meet our legal duties. You can ask us to delete your account at any time (see section 7).

5. Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and local storage to keep you signed in, remember your project while you fill in a brief, and measure how the Site is used. If analytics is switched on, Google Analytics sets cookies that collect information such as the pages you view. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some parts of the Site may then stop working.

6. Security

We use HTTPS, hashed passwords and access controls to protect your information. No method of sending or storing data is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security. Please keep your password private and tell us at once if you think your account has been misused.

7. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live (for example the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, California, Canada, Australia or India), you may have the right to:

Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
Ask us to correct information that is wrong or out of date.
Ask us to delete your information, subject to records we must keep by law.
Object to or ask us to limit some uses of your information, and withdraw a consent you gave earlier.
Opt out of promotional email by using the unsubscribe link.
Complain to your local data protection authority.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. To use any of your rights, email us at support@everydesigns.net. We may need to confirm your identity first.

8. International transfers

Everydesigns is based in India and our users are in many countries. Your information may be stored and processed in India or in other countries where our service providers operate. Where the law requires it, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

9. Children

The Site is not meant for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you think a child has given us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. Links to other sites

The Site may link to other websites, such as our social media pages. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please read their policies.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed. If we make an important change, we will tell you on the Site or by email.
