What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

We collect personal data from visitors, clients, and users for the purposes of operating our business, fulfilling service requests, improving our website, and complying with legal obligations.

We may collect the following categories of data:

Personal data you provide directly

Name, email address, phone number, company information, project details, uploaded files, support requests, account information (if you register), and billing or transactional information for paid services.

Technical and usage data

IP address, browser information, device type, pages visited, time spent on site, referral source, and cookie data. This information helps us maintain site security, analytics, and performance.

Legal basis (GDPR where applicable)

We may process personal data under the following bases:
• Consent (e.g., newsletter signup)
• Contract performance (service work, project communication, invoicing)
• Legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, analytics)
• Legal compliance (tax, accounting)

Sensitive data

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data (health information, biometric data, etc.). If any is inadvertently transmitted (e.g., through project files), it will be handled securely and only as required to provide the service.

Sources of data

Personal data may be collected through:
• Contact forms
• Project onboarding forms
• Comments
• Cookies
• Embedded content
• Analytics tools
• Third-party integrations (hosting, payments)

WordPress itself does not collect personal data about visitors unless you leave a comment, register, or use specific features.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized hash of your email address may be submitted to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images.

Contact Forms

If you use a contact form, we may collect:
• Name
• Email address
• Phone number (optional)
• Project details or messages

We retain form submissions for customer service and project communication purposes. We do not use the information submitted through contact forms for marketing without your explicit consent.

Retention periods may vary by project requirements.

Cookies

We use cookies to maintain website functionality, preferences, analytics, and the user experience. Below are the WordPress default cookies:

• If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last one year.
• If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie checks if your browser accepts cookies; it contains no personal data and is discarded when the browser closes.
• When you log in, several cookies store login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last two days, screen option cookies last a year. If “Remember Me” is selected, login persists two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
• When editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie saves the post ID you just edited. It expires in one day.

Additional performance, analytics, or marketing cookies may be set by plugins, hosting tools, or integrations. You can disable cookies in your browser settings.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content behaves the same way as visiting the other website directly.

These sites may:
• Collect data
• Use cookies
• Embed third-party tracking
• Monitor your interaction with their content

This includes tracking if you have an account on the external site and are logged in.

Analytics

We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics or hosting-provider analytics. These tools may collect:
• IP addresses
• Device information
• Interaction data
• Browser data

Users can opt out of Google Analytics tracking via browser extensions or privacy settings.
Analytics providers have their own privacy policies.

WordPress itself does not collect analytics data by default.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal data.
We may share information with:

• Web hosting providers
• Cloud storage services
• Payment processors
• Project management tools
• Spam detection services
• Email newsletter providers
• Analytics providers
• Development contractors or freelancers under NDA
• Legal authorities when required by law

If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

• Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so follow-up comments can be recognized and approved automatically.
• Registered user profiles (if any) are stored as long as the account remains active. Users may edit or delete their data at any time (except username).
• Contact form submissions: typically retained 6–12 months for customer service unless legally required longer.

• Project-related data: retained for the duration of the project and a reasonable archival period afterward for quality assurance and legal obligations.
• Transactional and invoicing data: retained according to tax and accounting laws (typically 7 years).
