Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Cloud Code Solutions (“we,” “us,” or “our”), a U.S.-based software consultancy, collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use our website or contact us. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable U.S. federal and state privacy laws.

1. Who we are

Cloud Code Solutions is a software consultancy that builds web, mobile, and blockchain applications. We are located in the United States. This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we collect through our website and when you communicate with us.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide. When you submit our contact form, we collect the information you voluntarily provide: your name, work email address, message, rough budget range, and ideal start time. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and discuss potential projects.

Information stored on your device. We use your browser's local storage to save your theme preference (light or dark mode) so we can remember it on your next visit. This data stays on your device and is not sent to our servers.

Information collected automatically. Our website or hosting provider may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, and pages viewed. This information is used to operate and secure our website. We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising.

3. How we use your information

We use the personal information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and communicate about potential projects
• Provide information about our services when you request it
• Improve and operate our website
• Comply with applicable laws and protect our rights

We do not use your contact form information for marketing or promotional purposes unless you explicitly consent. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. How we share your information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers. We may share information with vendors who assist us in operating our website or communicating with you (for example, a form submission or email service). These providers are contractually required to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.
• Legal requirements. We may disclose information when required by law, such as in response to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
• Business transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We use local storage (not cookies) to remember your theme preference. We do not use cookies for tracking, advertising, or analytics. If we add cookies or similar technologies in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and, where required by law, obtain your consent.

6. Data retention

We retain contact form submissions only for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and conduct any follow-up communications. When we no longer need the information, we will delete or anonymize it. We may retain certain information for longer if required by law (for example, for tax or legal compliance).

7. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but we are committed to protecting your information to the best of our ability.

8. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include:

• Access. You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction. You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion. You can request that we delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions (for example, where we need to retain it for legal compliance).
• Opt-out of marketing. If we ever send marketing communications, you may opt out at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within a reasonable time and as required by applicable law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

9. California residents

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, may provide you with additional rights. We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You have the right to know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose; to request deletion of your personal information; to request correction of inaccurate information; and to non-discrimination for exercising your rights. To submit a request, contact us at [email protected]. We will verify your identity before processing your request. You may also designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf; we may require proof of authorization.

Our website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 18, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take steps to delete such information promptly.
