Shiro Inoue Design, Shiro Web Studio writes about building websites on WordPress, Shopify and Webflow. Since many readers build sites of their own, we kept this privacy page practical and easy to scan.

Personal data we handle
Contact form submissions are the one source of personal data you hand us directly. The form on our contact page asks for:
- your name
- your email address
- your message
We use these details to reply to you. We publish no email address, so please write through the form. Do not paste admin logins, hosting passwords or store credentials into a message. We never ask for them, and they serve no purpose here.
Once your question has an answer and no follow-up is pending, we delete the submission.
Cookies on this site
- Consent banner: it asks before any non-essential cookie is placed.
- Analytics: Google Analytics runs only with your approval and reports traffic in aggregate.
- Video: embedded YouTube players let YouTube and Google set cookies once loaded or played.
- Browser: your own browser settings clear or block cookies whenever you choose.
Rejecting non-essential cookies blocks no tutorial. Changed your mind? Update the setting from the banner.
Analytics figures help us decide which platform guides need refreshing after a WordPress release, a Shopify theme update or a new Webflow feature. We look at totals per page, never at individual visitors.
Affiliate redirects
When we suggest hiring a developer or designer, the link usually leads to Fiverr. It first runs through a redirect on our domain shaped like /go/webflow-expert, then forwards to the partner. Hire someone through it and we receive a commission, while your price does not change. The partner sets its own cookies and follows its own privacy policy and terms, separate from this page. Read the specifics on our disclosure page.
Before granting a freelancer access to your WordPress dashboard, Shopify admin or Webflow project, check how the partner platform protects your data.
How articles are produced
Each tutorial is drafted with AI tools and then reviewed by a human editor. Use the content as general information. It does not stand in for professional, legal, financial or tax advice, and we guarantee no particular outcome for your theme, store or launch. Platforms update often, so test every change on a staging copy first.
What we do not do
- Sell reader data or rent out contact details.
- Run ad retargeting or build visitor profiles.
- Send marketing email of any kind.
- Ask for FTP, hosting or admin credentials.
- Store payment information, since no payments happen here.
Security notes
We apply reasonable technical protection to shiroinouedesign.com, and access to form submissions stays limited. As every site builder knows, no setup is immune to every attack, so send us only what a reply requires.
Third-party links in our tutorials, such as theme marketplaces, plugin repositories and hosting dashboards, lead to sites with their own privacy rules. We have no control over how those services handle data.
Data sharing
We hand data to no buyer. Our hosting provider and Google process limited data while delivering the site and its analytics, and we would release information to authorities only under legal obligation.
Children
shiroinouedesign.com is aimed at site builders, not children. Anyone under 13 falls outside our audience, as does anyone under 16 in countries whose law requires it. We remove a child’s details as soon as we learn of them.
Rights you hold
- Access to the personal data we keep
- Correction of inaccurate details
- Deletion
- Objection to processing
- Withdrawal of consent
- A complaint to a data protection authority
How to make a request:
- Open the contact form.
- Say which right you want to use.
- Use the same email address as your earlier message, so we match the record.
If you feel we got it wrong, the data protection authority where you live accepts complaints. California residents should know shiroinouedesign.com does not sell or share personal information for money.
Law and future changes
This policy is subject to the law of the place where the site’s operator is established. Whenever we edit it, the version date above changes too.
