Privacy Policy
Effective 6 November 2026
Halisms is a one-person graphic design practice run by Hal Morris in Greenville, South Carolina. This page explains what this site collects, why, and how long it's kept. It's short because the site does very little.
What's collected
Only what you send. The contact form asks for your name, email address, and message. You can also email hello@halisms.com directly, in which case your address and whatever you write are collected the same way.

How long it's kept
Inquiries are deleted on a twice-yearly sweep: January–June inquiries on 31 December, July–December inquiries on 30 June. Nothing is swept within 90 days of final payment or last contact, and nothing is swept while a project or invoice is open. Spam is cleared as it arrives.

In practice that means a non-client inquiry lives between six and twelve months.
