Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

We collect information in two ways:

• Information you provide directly — your name, email, company, project details, budget, and any message you submit through our contact or hire forms.
• Information collected automatically — with your analytics consent, basic usage data (pages visited, general location, device/browser type) via Google Analytics. Session storage also records landing page paths, referring website hostnames and campaign identifiers; these accompany a submitted inquiry to help identify its source. See our Cookie Policy for details.

2. How we use your information

• To respond to your inquiry and follow up on a potential project or hiring request.
• To deliver the services you've engaged us for, if you become a client.
• To understand overall site usage and improve content, performance, and navigation.
• To comply with legal obligations where applicable.

3. Third-party services we use

We rely on a small number of trusted third-party services to run this site and respond to inquiries:

• Google Analytics — anonymized usage analytics.
• Sanity — our content management system, used to publish blog content.
• Email/SMTP provider — to deliver contact and hiring form submissions to our team.
• Cal.com — if you book a call with us, scheduling is handled by Cal.com under its own privacy policy.

We don't sell your personal information to anyone, ever.

4. Data retention

We keep contact/hiring form submissions and related email correspondence for as long as reasonably needed to respond to your inquiry or, if you become a client, for the duration of our working relationship plus a reasonable retention period afterward for accounting and legal purposes.

5. Your rights

You can ask us at any time to tell you what information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it, subject to any legal obligations we may have to retain certain records. Just email us at the address below and we'll take care of it.

6. Children's privacy

This website and our services are intended for businesses and professionals, not children. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The "last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version.
