What we collect
When you send the quote form, we get what you type in: your name, phone number, street address if you add it, and the lights and bulb color you pick. If you use our design tool, we also get what you enter there, such as your email, the service address and notes, plus the photo of your house and your design. We don't use tracking cookies or ad pixels on this site.
Our design tool
Our design tool is provided by Svear, which processes and routes the requests you send through it as part of providing the tool, including an automated routing service, Make, that delivers your request to us by email. A request carries what you enter in the form (your name, the contact details and address you give, how you heard about us and any notes), the photo of your house, your design and, if you made one and it fits, the realistic photo. It also records the consent statement beside the send button, as worded when your request is received, and the time it was received. It does not include your photo's file name.
Realistic photos
Nothing from the design tool goes to an AI service unless you tap a button that makes a realistic photo ("Create realistic photo", "Try again", "Create another" or "Create a new one"). Each time you do, a copy of the photo of your house you uploaded (reduced in size, with its location data removed) is sent to AI services that Svear uses for it. Higgsfield, an AI image service, receives the photo and makes an evening version of it with xAI's image model. Higgsfield keeps the photo and the evening version in its online storage, at web addresses that aren't published but that anyone who has the address may be able to open, and says it keeps evening versions for at least a week. If Higgsfield can't make the picture, Google, through its Gemini API, receives the photo instead with a fixed instruction to make an evening version of it; that request uses a no-store setting. Anthropic receives your photo and each evening version, to check that the result still matches your house. The tool then draws your lights on the evening version itself, so your design isn't sent to make the picture.
None of them receives your design, your name, address, phone number, email, notes, how you heard about us, your photo's file name or your IP address, but anything visible in the photo itself, such as your house number, may be visible to them. The realistic photo comes back only to your browser, and Svear's servers don't keep a copy. If you then send us your design, the realistic photo comes to us with it. These services handle what they receive under their own terms and policies, which may allow them to keep it for a period of time.
How we use it
Only to plan your display, give you a quote and get in touch with you about it. We don't sell or rent your information, and we don't add you to a mailing list.
Who handles it
The site is hosted on Vercel. Form requests pass through Make, an automation service, which sends them on to Eric by email. Those services process the request only to deliver it.
How long we keep it
We keep quote requests as long as they're useful for your job and records, then delete them.
