1. About Fortress Interior Design LLC
Fortress Interior Design LLC is an Arizona-based business that operates primarily as an interior designer discovery, matching, and referral platform.

F. Information From Third Parties
We may receive information from participating designers, service providers, business partners, or other third parties in connection with a legitimate business inquiry, requested referral, designer application, or professional relationship.

We process such information only for appropriate business purposes and in accordance with applicable law.
3. How We Use Your Information
Fortress Interior Design LLC may use personal information for the following purposes:
Designer Matching and Referrals
To review project preferences, identify potentially suitable independent interior designers, and facilitate requested introductions.
Communication
To respond to inquiries, provide information about our services, and communicate regarding designer recommendations or submitted applications.
Website Operation
To maintain the website, provide access to its features, address technical issues, and improve functionality.
Network Administration
To review designer applications, manage professional listings, communicate with participating designers, and administer network relationships.
Client Experience
To understand the types of projects and services users are seeking and improve the relevance and usability of our matching process.
Business Records
To maintain reasonable administrative records of inquiries, introductions, applications, communications, and other legitimate business activities.
Security and Fraud Prevention
To identify misuse of the Platform, investigate suspected fraud, protect website functionality, and address security concerns.
Legal Compliance
To comply with applicable laws, respond to lawful requests, protect legal rights, and fulfill legal or regulatory obligations.
Marketing and Business Updates
Where permitted by law and consistent with applicable consent or preference requirements, to send information about our services, available opportunities, educational resources, or relevant business updates.
We do not require users to subscribe to optional promotional messages as a condition of receiving an ordinary designer introduction unless otherwise clearly disclosed and legally permissible.
4. How Our Find Your Designer Quiz Works
Our Find Your Designer Quiz is intended to simplify the process of finding an independent interior design professional.
Users may be asked to provide information about their personal design style, project needs, location, budget, and contact details.
We use this information to evaluate potential matches based on the information available through our participating designer network.
The matching process may involve automated questionnaire logic, predefined matching criteria, and administrative review.
Our matching process is intended to recommend potential professionals, not to make legally or financially significant decisions about users.
We do not guarantee that a particular designer will be available, accept a project, or satisfy every individual preference.
Information submitted through the quiz may be retained for appropriate business purposes, including handling your inquiry, reviewing potential matches, following up on a requested introduction, and maintaining records of referrals.
Information Shared With Potential Designers
When you request a designer introduction, we may share relevant information from your questionnaire with one or more participating independent designers.
This information may include your name, preferred contact information, project location, anticipated budget, design preferences, project description, and desired timeline.
We aim to share information reasonably relevant to evaluating and responding to your requested introduction.
Your information will not be automatically published in a public designer directory merely because you completed the quiz.
No Obligation to Hire
Completing the quiz does not obligate you to hire a recommended designer or purchase services from Fortress Interior Design LLC, Fortress Contracting LLC, or any other professional.
You remain responsible for deciding whether to enter into a separate professional agreement with a designer.
5. Sharing Information With Independent Interior Designers
Sharing relevant client information with participating independent designers is a central part of our referral service.
When a user requests an introduction or submits a matching inquiry, Fortress Interior Design LLC may provide appropriate contact and project details to participating designers for the purpose of evaluating and responding to that request.
Participating designers are separate businesses and may independently determine how to communicate with prospective clients and whether to offer their professional services.
Following an introduction, a designer may collect additional information directly from the client, including detailed project requirements, measurements, contracts, payment arrangements, and other information needed for the designer’s services.
Independent designers are responsible for their own data-handling practices and compliance with applicable privacy laws in connection with their separate professional activities.
Fortress Interior Design LLC does not automatically control information collected by designers outside our Platform.
We expect participating professionals to handle referred client information responsibly and to use it for authorized professional purposes.
Our agreements with participating designers may establish additional confidentiality, data-use, and information-security obligations.
Clients are encouraged to review any privacy notices provided by their selected designer before sharing additional personal, financial, or project-related information.
6. Information Sharing With Fortress Contracting LLC
Fortress Interior Design LLC and Fortress Contracting LLC are affiliated businesses that operate as separate legal entities.
Fortress Interior Design LLC focuses on facilitating connections with interior design professionals.
Fortress Contracting LLC separately provides construction and remodeling services under its own business operations and agreements.
Users are not required to hire Fortress Contracting LLC to use our designer matching Platform.
When you specifically request information about Fortress Contracting LLC, express interest in a coordinated design-and-construction experience, or authorize a construction referral, we may share information reasonably necessary to facilitate that request.
This may include your name, contact information, project location, general scope of work, estimated budget, and relevant project preferences.
Fortress Contracting LLC is responsible for its own handling of information in connection with its separate business activities.
Using the Fortress Interior Design Platform does not automatically enroll users in unrelated Fortress Contracting marketing communications.
Any additional information collected directly by Fortress Contracting LLC is subject to the privacy practices applicable to that separate business.
7. Other Circumstances in Which We May Share Information
In addition to authorized designer and construction referrals, we may disclose personal information in the following circumstances.
Website and Technology Providers
We may share information with companies that help provide website hosting, forms, questionnaires, data storage, email services, website analytics, security, and other operational services.
These providers may process information on our behalf or in accordance with their applicable service terms and privacy policies.
Professional Advisers
We may disclose information to legal counsel, accountants, insurers, or other professional advisers where reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes.
Compliance With Law
We may disclose information where required by applicable law, valid legal process, court order, or another legally authorized request.
Protection of Rights and Safety
We may disclose information where reasonably necessary and legally permitted to investigate suspected fraud, address security threats, protect rights, or respond to unlawful conduct.
Business Transactions
If Fortress Interior Design LLC undergoes a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of business assets, or other business transition, relevant information may be disclosed or transferred in accordance with applicable law and appropriate safeguards.
With Your Direction or Authorization
We may share information with other parties when you specifically request or otherwise authorize the disclosure.
We do not publicly publish private client questionnaire responses as part of our ordinary designer matching service.
8. Designer Referral Fees and Personal Information
Fortress Interior Design LLC may maintain commercial relationships with participating independent designers, including arrangements involving network participation, advertising, promotional placements, or referral compensation.
These business arrangements do not change the basic purpose for which client matching information is collected: helping users connect with potentially relevant professionals.
We do not intend to sell client questionnaire responses as standalone marketing lists to unrelated data brokers.
However, certain advertising, analytics, or other technology-related data disclosures may be classified as a “sale” or “sharing” under particular state privacy laws, depending on the technology used and applicable legal definitions.
Where those laws apply, we will provide the required notices, disclosures, and privacy choices.
Users may contact us with questions regarding how their information is shared.
9. Website Hosting Through Squarespace
Our website is built and hosted using Squarespace.
Squarespace may process certain technical and visitor information necessary to deliver website content, maintain functionality, provide security, and support website analytics.
Depending on the website features and settings enabled, information processed through Squarespace may include IP addresses, browser and device information, website activity, and information voluntarily submitted through Squarespace forms.
Squarespace may use cookies and similar technologies to support the website’s operation and enabled features.
Visitors may review Squarespace’s published privacy information for additional details about Squarespace’s own data-handling practices.
Fortress Interior Design LLC remains responsible for accurately explaining its own collection, use, and sharing of information through the website.
10. Third-Party Forms and Questionnaire Services
Certain features of our Platform, including the Find Your Designer Quiz or designer application forms, may be powered by third-party form and questionnaire providers.
These providers may include Typeform or other services specifically integrated into our website.
When a third-party form provider is used, information entered into that form may be transmitted to and processed through the provider’s systems.
The provider may store submitted responses, maintain technical records, and process information to deliver the form service according to its applicable contractual obligations and privacy practices.
Fortress Interior Design LLC determines the business purposes for which it collects and uses responses submitted through its own matching questionnaires.
If we connect a form service to additional authorized tools, such as business email, data storage, or customer relationship management software, relevant response information may also be transferred to those integrated services.
We encourage users to review any privacy notices or disclosures presented within an embedded questionnaire.

The specific information collected depends on which analytics tools are active and how they are configured.
13. Marketing and Promotional Communications
Fortress Interior Design LLC may communicate with users concerning requested designer matches, inquiries, network applications, or other services.
We distinguish between communications reasonably necessary to respond to a user’s request and optional promotional communications.
Where we send marketing emails, we will comply with applicable requirements regarding sender identification, unsubscribe methods, and honoring opt-out requests.
Users may unsubscribe from marketing messages through the unsubscribe method included in applicable communications or by contacting us.
Opting out of optional marketing messages does not necessarily prevent us from sending service-related communications concerning an inquiry you initiated.
Promotional text messages, if offered, will be sent only in accordance with applicable consent and legal requirements.
We do not treat acceptance of our general website Terms of Use as blanket consent to receive optional promotional text messages.
14. Social Media and External Websites
Our website may contain links to social media platforms, independent designer websites, portfolio pages, vendor websites, and other external resources.
These services may independently collect or process information when users interact with their websites or features.
Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
Fortress Interior Design LLC does not control all information collected by independently operated third-party websites.
Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of external services before submitting personal information.
15. How We Protect Information
Fortress Interior Design LLC recognizes the importance of protecting the information entrusted to our Platform.
We seek to use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and the services involved.
These may include appropriate account access controls, reputable technology providers, secure communications where available, and procedures for addressing suspected unauthorized access.
Access to nonpublic client and designer information is intended to be limited to persons or service providers with a legitimate business need.
However, no internet transmission, electronic storage system, website, or third-party service can be guaranteed completely secure.
We cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, data loss, or other security incidents will never occur.
Users should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information through general website questionnaires or contact forms.
If a security incident occurs, we will evaluate the circumstances and provide any notices required by applicable law.
16. How Long We Retain Information
