Your information, thoughtfully handled

Privacy policy

Effective September 3, 2026

This policy explains how YZ Staging handles information when you visit www.yzstagingca.com or yz-staging.vercel.app, inquire about our San Francisco Bay Area home-staging services, or submit your contact details through a YZ Staging sponsored agent. It applies to our handling of that information. The platforms you use to reach us also have their own privacy policies.

Information we collect

When you request a consultation, we collect the information you choose to provide: your name, email, optional phone number, your role in the project, property city or ZIP code, optional property address, occupancy status, target photography or listing date, service interests, and project notes. We also record whether you ask to receive occasional updates.

The consultation form includes the page URL, referring page, and campaign tags where available. If an existing HubSpot visitor cookie is present, the form can send its identifier to HubSpot to associate the inquiry with that visit. Our hosting provider may process technical information such as IP address, browser information, and request logs to deliver and protect the website. Please do not include passwords, payment-card details, identity documents, or sensitive personal information in project notes.

How we use information

We use inquiry details to respond to you, assess project fit, discuss services and timing, prepare a scope or proposal, coordinate a project, maintain our customer records, and protect the site against misuse. The property-value range described in our marketing refers to the homes we focus on, not a quoted staging fee. We use your marketing preference to distinguish a project response from optional promotional updates.

Services that help us operate

We use HubSpot to receive website inquiries and manage customer relationships, and Vercel to host this website. These providers process information in connection with the services they provide to us. Information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our providers operate.

If you submit a lead through a YZ Staging sponsored agent in OpenAI, the contact and project information you agree to share may be delivered to us and our CRM. Your use of OpenAI is also governed by OpenAI’s privacy policy.

We may disclose information when required by law, to respond to lawful requests, or to protect rights, safety, and the security of our services.

Advertising measurement

We use HubSpot’s ChatGPT Ads integration to understand whether our advertising leads to relevant staging inquiries. If a contact has interacted with our ads and later reaches the Marketing Qualified Lead stage in our CRM, HubSpot is configured to send a qualified-lead conversion event to OpenAI. This helps measure advertising results and improve campaign delivery. The matching fields selected for this event are an advertising click identifier and email address, where available.

We also use the OpenAI advertising pixel on this website to report a completed lead after HubSpot accepts a consultation request. This event includes a unique event identifier, the page URL, and technical information used by the pixel. An advertising click identifier may be stored in a first-party cookie and used to connect the lead to an ad interaction. Our event call does not include your project notes, property address, name, email, or phone number. Privacy requests are not counted as leads.

The pixel’s automatic advanced matching can detect supported contact details entered in forms, normalize them, and hash them in the browser before sending those identifiers to OpenAI for matching. This feature sends hashed identifiers rather than raw contact details.

You can use the privacy request form below to ask us to stop using your information for advertising measurement. Your choice about receiving occasional promotional updates is separate from this measurement.

Your choices and requests

You can leave optional fields blank and request a consultation without choosing occasional updates. You can ask us to stop promotional messages, correct your details, provide access to information about you, or delete information by using the privacy request form below. You may also reply to a message from YZ Staging. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and some records may need to be retained for legal obligations or an ongoing project.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. We disable the OpenAI pixel’s measurement when your browser sends Global Privacy Control or a Do Not Track signal set to “1.” The website does not load a HubSpot tracking script. Browser privacy settings or advertising blockers may prevent a completed inquiry from appearing in advertising reports without preventing us from receiving the inquiry.

Retention and protection

We retain information for the purposes described here, including responding to inquiries, managing projects and customer relationships, maintaining necessary business records, and meeting legal obligations. The appropriate retention period depends on the type of information and the reason it is held. We use access controls and service-provider protections to help safeguard information; no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Children and policy changes

Our services are intended for adults planning a property project. Please do not submit information about children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, use the form below to let us know. We may update this policy as our services change; the effective date above identifies the current version.
