Privacy
Policy.
Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways: what you give us directly, and what we collect automatically.
Information you provide directly:
- Name, email address, and phone number from contact or booking forms
- Project details, budget range, and any information shared during calls or messages
- Business name and website URL when relevant to an enquiry
Information collected automatically:
- IP address and general location (country/city level)
- Browser type, operating system, and device type
- Pages visited, time on page, and referring URLs
- Interaction data such as clicks and scroll depth via analytics tools
We do not collect payment card details directly — all payments go through trusted third-party processors.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to enquiries and process consultation bookings
- Provide, manage, and improve our services
- Send project updates, proposals, and invoices to active clients
- Analyse website performance and improve user experience
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not send unsolicited marketing emails. If you hear from us, it's because you reached out first or we have an active working relationship.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share limited data with:
- Service providers — tools we use to run our business (email, scheduling, analytics). These providers are contractually bound to protect your data.
- Legal requirements — if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights.
Cookies & Tracking
Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to make the site function and to understand usage patterns.
- Essential cookies — required for the site to work. Cannot be disabled.
- Analytics cookies — help us understand traffic. No personally identifiable info is stored.
You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings without affecting site functionality.
Data Retention
- Enquiry and contact data — up to 2 years from last contact
- Client project data — up to 5 years after project completion
- Analytics data — aggregated and anonymised, retained indefinitely
You can request deletion of your data at any time.
Your Rights
Depending on your location you may have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of data we hold about you
- Correction — ask us to fix inaccurate data
- Deletion — ask us to delete your data
- Objection — object to processing for certain purposes
- Portability — request your data in a machine-readable format
Email hello@devvista.org to exercise any right. We'll respond within 30 days.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect your information. Our site is served over HTTPS and access to client data is limited to authorised team members only. No transmission over the internet is 100% secure — we do our best but cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Links
Our site may link to third-party websites or embed tools such as scheduling widgets. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before submitting personal information.
Children's Privacy
Our services are intended for businesses and professionals. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you believe we have, contact us immediately and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by an updated date at the top of this page. Continued use of our website after updates means you accept the revised policy.
