This is the website of Cat's Creations, a brand identity design studio run by Cathy Viviers, based in Pretoria, South Africa. This page explains — in plain language — what information is collected when you visit, who processes it, and what choices you have.
catscreations.co.za is a static website. I don't run my own user accounts, logins, or visitor databases. A handful of third-party services help the site run and help me understand how it's being used — some of them collect limited data through your browser. I don't sell any data and I don't combine it into visitor profiles myself.
Cathy Viviers (trading as Cat's Creations) is the responsible party (data controller) for this site.

The site uses the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy, linked below.
| Service | What it does |
|---|---|
| Google Tag Manager & Analytics Google policy ↗ |
Counts visits and shows which pages and links are popular. May set cookies and record a truncated approximation of your location and device. Only runs after you accept cookies. |
| Microsoft Clarity Microsoft policy ↗ |
Records anonymised interactions — clicks, scrolls, heatmaps — to show how pages are used. It masks text you type and is not used to identify you personally. Only runs after you accept cookies. |
| Behold (Instagram feed) Behold policy ↗ |
Displays my latest public Instagram posts on the home page. Your browser requests the feed from Behold; standard request data (such as your IP address) is involved in any web request. |
| Formspree (contact forms) Formspree policy ↗ |
Only when you submit an enquiry form. Your name, email and message are sent through Formspree, which forwards them to me by email. Nothing is submitted unless you choose to send it. |
| Google Fonts Google policy ↗ |
Every page loads the site's typefaces from Google's font service, which means your browser makes a request to Google (exposing your IP address). No cookies are set for this. |
| Vercel (hosting) Vercel policy ↗ |
The site is hosted on Vercel, which keeps standard server logs and provides basic, privacy-friendly performance metrics to help pages load quickly. |
The site itself uses your browser's local storage only for small conveniences — remembering your light/dark theme choice and whether you've accepted or declined the cookie notice. These stay in your browser and are never sent anywhere.
The analytics services above may set their own cookies as described in their policies, and only do so after you click Accept on the cookie notice.
Depending on where you live — under South Africa's POPIA, the EU/UK GDPR, or similar laws — you may have the right to ask what data is held about you, to have it corrected or deleted, or to object to its processing.
This is a professional portfolio and design studio site, not directed at children, and it does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
If the tools or services this site uses change, I'll update this page and the "last updated" date above.
