Digital products may be delivered through download links, email communications, or third-party platforms.
If a product requires access to an external platform, such as Figma, your use of that platform is also subject to its own terms and privacy policy.

Where applicable law requires consent for nonessential cookies or tracking technologies, we will seek that consent before activating them.

Carbon Source may use third-party analytics and advertising services to understand website traffic, evaluate marketing performance, and promote our products and services.
These providers may collect information about your interactions with our website through cookies, pixels, or similar technologies.
Information collected through these services may be used to measure conversions, understand audience behavior, and deliver relevant advertising on third-party platforms.
We do not sell personal information in exchange for money.
However, certain disclosures to advertising partners may qualify as "sharing," "sale," or processing for targeted advertising under applicable privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged.
