Privacy Policy

DeLuca Designs LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates the DeLuca Designs Business Academy (DDBA), a product development and business mentorship program. Our principal place of business is PO Box 321, Plainfield, IN 46168. You can reach us at [email protected] or 717-340-9469.

This Policy applies to all services offered by DeLuca Designs LLC, including but not limited to the DDBA mentorship program, the Inventors Transformation Academy (ITA), done-for-you launch services, and any related digital products or communities hosted on platforms including Stripe, Whop, or our website.

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

When you register for a program, make a payment, sign an agreement, or contact us, we may collect:

• Full name and contact information (email address, phone number, mailing address)
• Business name, entity type, and business address
• Payment information processed through Stripe (we do not store card numbers directly)
• Signed agreement data including IP address and timestamp via PandaDoc or similar e-signature platforms
• Communications you send to us via email, text, or any platform we operate

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website or interact with our digital platforms, we may automatically collect:

• Browser type, device type, and operating system
• IP address and approximate geographic location
• Pages visited, time on page, and referring URL
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 7)

2.3 Information from Third-Party Platforms

We operate on and integrate with third-party platforms. Those platforms may share data with us including:

• Stripe: payment status, billing details, transaction history, and fraud signals
• Whop: account registration data, purchase history, and platform activity
• PandaDoc or similar: agreement signing data, timestamps, and IP verification
• Meta, Google, or other advertising platforms: ad interaction data if you engage with our paid campaigns

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To process payments and fulfill service agreements
• To deliver mentorship sessions, coaching calls, and program deliverables
• To communicate with you about your program status, milestones, and next steps
• To send administrative communications including receipts, agreement copies, and support responses
• To send program-related updates, announcements, and educational content (you may opt out at any time)
• To maintain accurate business records and comply with legal obligations
• To detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, disputes, or contract violations
• To improve our programs, processes, and platforms based on aggregate usage patterns

All payments are processed through Stripe, Inc. When you submit payment through our website or a Stripe-hosted checkout, your card information is transmitted directly to Stripe and governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy. DeLuca Designs LLC does not receive, store, or have access to your full credit card number, CVV, or banking credentials.

What we do receive from Stripe: your name, billing address, email address, last four digits of the card used, transaction amount, and payment status. This data is retained for business accounting, dispute resolution, and legal compliance purposes.

If you complete a Credit Card Authorization Form as part of a signed agreement, that form is retained as part of your signed agreement record. Card numbers on signed physical or digital documents are stored only within the secure document management system used to execute the agreement (e.g., PandaDoc).

For payment plans or recurring billing, Stripe processes automatic charges on your designated billing date. You authorize these charges by signing the applicable service agreement. Disputes or billing questions should be directed to [email protected] before initiating any chargeback with your card issuer.

5.1 Service Providers

We share data with trusted third-party service providers only as necessary to deliver our services. These include:

• Stripe, Inc. (payment processing)
• Whop Corp. (community and program delivery platform)
• PandaDoc or similar (e-signature and agreement management)
• Google Workspace or similar (email and business communications)
• Zoom or similar (video conferencing for coaching sessions)

These providers are contractually required to protect your data and may only use it to provide services on our behalf.

5.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or regulatory authority, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a legal claim.

5.3 Business Transfers

If DeLuca Designs LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or a prominent notice on our website if such a transfer occurs and your data is affected.

5.4 Profit Sharing Partners

Certain service agreements include a profit sharing arrangement. Where profit sharing applies, limited financial performance data related to your business may be reviewed by authorized DeLuca Designs LLC personnel to calculate and verify profit share amounts. This data is treated as confidential and is not shared with outside parties.

We retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, maintain our business records, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

• Signed agreements: retained indefinitely as business records
• Payment transaction records: retained for 7 years per standard accounting and tax requirements
• Communications and session notes: retained for the duration of the program relationship plus 3 years
• Website analytics data: retained in aggregate form for up to 24 months

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• HTTPS encryption on all web transactions
• Stripe-managed PCI-DSS compliant payment processing
