Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how KoboDev ("I", "me", or "my") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use this website or engage my services.

TL;DR: I collect minimal information, never sell your data, and use it only to provide services or respond to your inquiries.

When you submit the contact form, I collect:

• → Your name
• → Email address
• → Service interests
• → Project description
• → Timeline and budget preferences (optional)
• → Newsletter subscription preference (optional)

This information is collected solely to respond to your inquiry and provide relevant service information.

This website uses GoatCounter, a privacy-preserving analytics service, to understand how visitors use the site.

GoatCounter collects basic usage statistics including:

• → Pages visited and referrer information
• → Browser type and screen size (for responsive design)
• → Country/region (based on IP address, not stored)
• → Visit timestamps and session duration

GoatCounter does NOT:

• → Use cookies or local storage
• → Track you across websites
• → Collect or store personally identifiable information
• → Sell or share data with third parties
• → Create user profiles or behavioral tracking

GoatCounter is GDPR-compliant and designed for privacy. You can view their privacy policy for more details.

Like most websites, this site's hosting provider (Cloudflare) may collect basic server logs including:

• → IP address
• → Browser type and version
• → Pages visited
• → Timestamps

These logs are used for security and performance monitoring only.

Information collected through this website is used to:

• → Respond to inquiries: Answer your questions and provide service information
• → Provide services: Deliver IT services you've requested
• → Send updates: If you opt in, send occasional newsletters (max 1/month)
• → Improve services: Understand what services are most requested
• → Security: Prevent spam and abuse

I will never:

• → Sell your information to third parties
• → Share your information without your consent (except as legally required)
• → Use your information for purposes other than described above

Your information is retained only as long as necessary:

• → Contact form submissions: Deleted after 90 days of inactivity or project completion
• → Active projects: Retained for the duration of the engagement plus 30 days
• → Newsletter subscribers: Retained until you unsubscribe
• → Invoices/receipts: Retained for 7 years as required by tax law

You can request deletion of your information at any time by emailing kaz@kobo.dev.

I take reasonable measures to protect your information:

• → Encryption: All data transmitted to this site uses HTTPS/TLS encryption
• → Access control: Only I have access to contact form submissions
• → Secure hosting: Website hosted on Cloudflare Workers with industry-standard security
• → No third-party access: Information is not shared with marketing or data aggregation services

While I implement security best practices, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. Use discretion when sharing sensitive information.

This website uses minimal third-party services:

• → Cloudflare: Hosting and content delivery (see Cloudflare Privacy Policy)
• → GoatCounter: Privacy-preserving website analytics (see GoatCounter Privacy Policy)
• → Google Fonts: Web fonts loaded from Google's CDN (no cookies, no tracking)

I do not embed invasive tracking scripts, social media widgets, or advertising networks.

This website does not use cookies for tracking or analytics.

Your browser may set its own cookies when interacting with third-party services (like Google Fonts), but I do not set or read any cookies myself.

You have the right to:

• → Access: Request a copy of information I have about you
• → Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
• → Deletion: Request deletion of your information
• → Portability: Request your data in a machine-readable format

This website and services are not directed at children under 13. I do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe I have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact me immediately at kaz@kobo.dev.

This website is operated from the United States. If you're accessing from outside the US, your information may be transferred to and processed in the US.
