Privacy Policy

Information we collect

Our contact form uses Web3Forms to process your submission and deliver it to us. The form collects your name, email address, any phone number you choose to provide, and your message. Your message may include project details or other information you choose to share. We use this information to respond and discuss your inquiry or project.

When you visit the site, we and our service providers also collect technical and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and interactions with the site. We use this information to understand website use, fix problems, and prevent spam and misuse.

Service providers and sharing

We use service providers to host the website, deliver messages, provide analytics, and protect the contact form from spam. These providers process information as part of providing their services. Key providers include:

• PostHog, which provides website analytics and helps us understand visitor activity and website performance.
• Web3Forms, which processes contact-form submissions and delivers them to us.
• hCaptcha, which helps protect the contact form from spam and automated abuse.

The links above provide more information about each provider's privacy practices. We may also disclose information when required by law or necessary to protect legal rights.

Cookies, analytics, and other website features

Our PostHog analytics are configured to work without analytics cookies. Even without traditional tracking cookies, PostHog may collect visitor activity and technical information, including pages visited, interactions with the site, and browser and device information. We use this information for website analytics, troubleshooting, and performance purposes.

The site may use temporary browser storage to remember navigation choices. Spam protection and embedded maps or videos may collect information and use cookies or similar technologies when they load.

You can manage cookies and stored data through your browser settings, although this may affect some features and does not stop all data collection. External websites linked from our site have their own privacy policies.

Keeping information

We do not have a fixed retention period for emailed copies of contact-form submissions and related correspondence. We may delete messages after handling an inquiry or retain them as needed to respond, maintain business records, and meet legal obligations.

Web3Forms separately retains submission data under its own retention policy. Its privacy policy states that submissions are retained for a maximum of three years, unless a shorter period applies to the plan or the data is deleted earlier. This does not set a deletion deadline for copies delivered to our email.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information. No system or method of transmitting or storing information can guarantee absolute security.

Handling requests

You can contact us to ask about your information or request access, correction, or deletion. We will respond in accordance with applicable law, including any requirements to retain certain records.

Depending on applicable law, you may also have rights to receive a portable copy of your information and to opt out of the sale of personal information, targeted advertising, or certain profiling. To exercise your rights, use the contact details below. If you disagree with our response, contact us to request a review of the decision. We will handle requests and appeals in accordance with applicable law.

Updates and contact

We may update this policy by posting a revised version with an updated date and providing any further notice required by law.
