Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Our approach

Apel Design respects your privacy. This page explains what we collect when you inquire, how we use it, and the choices you have. Content will be supplied separately. This is a plain-language placeholder for the final policy.

What we collect

When you submit the inquiry form, we collect the name, email, and project description you choose to share with us. We do not collect sensitive financial information through the site, and we do not sell any data.

How we use it

We use the details you send to respond to your inquiry and to keep a record of the conversation. The information is reviewed by the studio and held only as long as needed for that purpose.

Sharing

We do not share your inquiry with third parties for marketing. Where a service provider helps us receive or store messages (for example, email delivery), they handle data only to operate that service.

Your choices

You may ask us to correct, update, or remove the information you sent at any time. To do so, write to the studio through the inquiry form and reference the email you used.

Changes

If we update this policy, the date above will change. Material changes will be reflected here, where the policy lives.

Contact

Questions about this policy can be sent through the inquiry form. We respond to every message we receive.

Newsletter

Stay in the dialogue

Occasional letters from the Malibu studio: new work, ideas, and process. Unsubscribe anytime.

From this month's letter

August 2026

A house is a slow conversation. Stone answers light, timber answers weather, and the room keeps a record of both: a dialogue between material and meaning, held in place long enough to live inside.

Inquiries

Start a conversation

A few words about the site, the scale, or the feeling. We read every note.
