The short version
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share the information you give us. There is no advertising network on this site, no analytics tracking, and no third party buying access to what you send. Information you submit is used to reply to you, and nothing else.
What we collect
Information you send us. The contact form asks for your name, your organization, your email address, and a description of what you need help with. Submitting the form emails those details to us. That is the only information the form collects, and the only reason we ask for it is so we can respond.
Standard server logs. Our web host records ordinary technical information about requests to this site, such as IP address, browser type, and the pages requested. This is a normal function of running a web server and is used for security and troubleshooting.
We do not run analytics software on this site. There is no Google Analytics, no advertising pixel, and no behavioral tracking.
How we use it
To reply to your enquiry, and to carry on any conversation that follows from it. If you become a client, your contact details are used to deliver and administer the work you have engaged us for. We do not add you to a marketing list because you filled in the contact form.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or rent your information to anyone.
- We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.
- We do not use it to build advertising profiles.
- We do not publish it, or pass on details about your organization’s systems, without your agreement.
Services this site relies on
Running a website means a few other companies necessarily handle data in the process:
- Web hosting. This site is hosted by SiteGround, which operates the servers and keeps the logs described above.
- Google Fonts. The site loads its typefaces from Google’s font service. Your browser requests those files directly from Google, which means Google receives your IP address as part of that request. We receive nothing from this and set no cookies through it.
- Email. Messages sent through the contact form arrive in our ordinary business email, and are stored there as email.
Cookies
This site sets no advertising or analytics cookies. WordPress, which powers the site, may set functional cookies for anyone who logs in to administer it — that applies to us, not to visitors. Comments are disabled site-wide, so the cookies WordPress would normally set for commenters are never created.
How long we keep it
Enquiries are kept as email for as long as they are useful for the business relationship or as long as we are required to keep business records. Server logs are retained by our host on their own rotation. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.
Your choices
You can ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email info@prettycodemachine.com and we will act on it. You do not need to give a reason, and there is no cost.
Children
This site is intended for people conducting business on behalf of an organization. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the revised version will be posted on this page with a new date at the top. Material changes to how we handle information already collected will be communicated directly to anyone affected.
