Who we are

CH Interior Designer is operated by Cathy Helmholz Interior Design LLC in Leander, Texas.

Information you share

When you submit an inquiry, we collect your name, email address, optional phone number, Ask Cat question and optional notes. You may also upload a room photo and an optional second photo. We record your consent choices and basic technical information associated with your submission, such as the page you submitted from and referral or campaign tags.

How Ask Cat photos are stored

Ask Cat photos are uploaded directly to private storage and are not publicly accessible. Cathy and authorized business administrators can view them through time-limited secure links that expire after 30 days.

How we use information

We use the information you provide to review and respond to your question, follow up about your inquiry and keep business records.

Service providers

Floot provides website hosting and private storage. GoHighLevel provides customer relationship management and stores your contact details, answers and consent choices. When we exchange text messages, phone carriers and messaging providers help deliver them. We do not sell personal information.

Educational or public use

We feature a submitted question or photo publicly only if you give separate, affirmative permission for educational-content use. That choice is unchecked by default. You may withdraw permission for future use by contacting us.

Text messages

Inquiry-related SMS consent and marketing SMS consent are separate, optional choices that are unchecked by default. Neither is required to submit an inquiry, and providing a phone number alone is not consent to receive texts. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help.

We do not sell or share mobile information or SMS opt-in data with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Call and text links

Call and text links open your device’s phone or messaging app. The website does not place a call or send a message automatically.

How long we keep information

Original private Ask Cat photos are deleted automatically after 90 days, unless they are needed longer for an active client relationship or you ask us to delete them sooner. Once a photo is deleted, its secure link stops working. We keep submission details—including names, contact information, questions and consent choices—as needed for customer records and business purposes.

Your choices and requests

You can ask to access, correct or delete your information, or withdraw consent. Call us at 512-971-9095 or text us at 737-252-1772. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

For deletion requests, we remove stored photos and delete or de-identify customer relationship management records, except where we must keep them for legitimate business or legal reasons.

Cookies and analytics

The site uses only what is needed to operate. We do not use advertising pixels. If we add production analytics later, we will disclose them here.

Children

This website is not directed at children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We will update the version date when this policy changes.
