Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect:

• IP address (used only to prevent abuse, not stored long-term)
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time spent on the site
• Referring website (where you came from)

We do not currently use cookies for tracking or advertising. We may add analytics tools (like Google Analytics) in the future, in which case we will update this policy and provide a cookie consent option.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties.

4. How We Share Your Information

We share your information only with third-party services that help us operate our business:

• Resend (email delivery service, based in the United States) — delivers emails from our contact form
• Google Workspace (email and document services) — stores our business email and correspondence with you
• Vercel (web hosting, based in the United States) — hosts this website

These services have their own privacy policies and we choose them because they meet recognized data protection standards. We do not provide your data to any other third parties without your consent.

5. Data Retention

We retain your inquiry data only as long as necessary:

• Contact form submissions: stored in our email for up to 24 months
• Client project communications: retained for the duration of the project plus 12 months for support purposes

You can request deletion of your data at any time by emailing dev@heyworkwithdev.com.

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights regarding your data:

• The right to access the information we hold about you
• The right to correct inaccurate information
• The right to request deletion of your information
• The right to object to processing of your information
• The right to data portability (receiving your data in a machine-readable format)

If you are located in the European Union, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you are located in California, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

7. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information:

• Our website uses HTTPS encryption (SSL/TLS)
• Email communications are encrypted in transit
• Access to your data is limited to authorized team members
• Third-party services we use (Resend, Google, Vercel) maintain industry-standard security practices

However, no system is 100% secure. While we work hard to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed at individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately at dev@heyworkwithdev.com.

9. International Data Transfers

We are based in India and serve clients primarily in the United States. Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including:

• India (where our team operates)
• United States (where Resend, Google, and Vercel store data)

These countries may have different data protection laws than your country. By using our services, you consent to this transfer.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and may notify you via email if appropriate. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically.
