1. Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to personal data collected through our website, contact forms, client onboarding, emails, and while delivering our services. It covers prospective clients, customers, partners, contractors and visitors to our websites.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information: (a) Contact information (name, email, phone, company); (b) Project details and materials you provide (manuscripts, images, briefs); (c) Billing & payment information (paid via third-party payment processors); (d) Usage and technical data (IP address, browser type, pages visited, cookies, device information); and (e) Communication records (emails, messages, support requests).

3. How We Use Your Information

We use personal data to respond to inquiries, prepare proposals, deliver services (web dev, app dev, SEO, design, marketing), process payments, send invoices and service updates, improve our website, and perform analytics to enhance our offerings. Where permitted, we may also send marketing communications about services we think may interest you; you may opt out at any time.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (Where Applicable)

For users in jurisdictions with data protection laws (e.g., GDPR), our legal basis for processing may include: contract performance, legitimate business interests (service improvement, security, fraud prevention), compliance with legal obligations, and consent for marketing communications.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to provide site functionality, remember preferences, and analyze traffic. Third-party analytics and advertising providers (for example analytics and ad platforms) may also place cookies when you use our website. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

6. Sharing & Disclosure of Data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with: (a) trusted service providers who assist in delivering our services (hosting, payment processors, email providers, freelancers); (b) professional advisors where necessary (legal, accounting); and (c) where required by law or to protect rights. We require vendors to protect data in accordance with this policy.

7. Third-Party Services

Our website and operations may integrate third-party services (payment gateways, analytics, email platforms, cloud hosts). Those third parties have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to review them. We are not responsible for third-party practices.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal data against loss, misuse and unauthorized access. While we take security seriously, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure — absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary by data type and purpose; when no longer needed, data is securely deleted or anonymized.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction you may have rights such as: access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and data portability. To exercise these rights contact us using the details below. We may take steps to verify your identity before responding.

11. International Transfers

We may transfer personal data to countries outside your jurisdiction for business purposes. When transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards (standard contractual clauses, vendor agreements) are in place to protect your data in accordance with applicable law.

12. Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable minimum age). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected data from a child, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

13. California & Other Specific Rights

If you are a California resident or covered by similar laws, you may have additional rights (e.g., right to request disclosure of categories of personal data shared with third parties). To make a request, contact us at the address below and include sufficient information to verify your identity.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of our services after changes indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
