How We Handle Your Information.

Last updated: [DATE] · NightShade Technologies

1. Scope

This policy covers information collected through this website. It does not cover information handled during a client engagement, which is governed by the applicable services agreement, statement of work, and any non-disclosure agreement in force.

2. What we collect

We collect information in two ways.

Information you provide

When you submit the contact form, we collect your first and last name, email address, company name, organization size, area of interest, whether you require an NDA, and the content of your message. You choose what to put in these fields.

Information collected automatically

Contact form submissions are processed by our own application running on our hosting provider's platform, not by a third-party form service. Our hosting provider records standard server and network telemetry — including IP address, user agent, requested URL, and timestamp — for security, abuse prevention, and availability monitoring. We do not use analytics, advertising, tracking pixels, or behavioral cookies on this site.

3. Why we use it

• To respond to your enquiry and, if relevant, scope an engagement
• To maintain the security, integrity, and availability of this site
• To meet legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use enquiry data for advertising.

4. Third parties that process data on our behalf

We use a small number of service providers. Each processes data only as needed to deliver its service.

[REVIEW] Confirm this list against current production before publishing, and confirm a data processing agreement is in place with each provider.

5. Retention

Contact enquiries are retained for [PERIOD] unless a business relationship is established, in which case retention follows the applicable services agreement. Server telemetry is retained per our hosting provider's default retention schedule.

6. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these, contact us using the details below. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

7. Security

This site is served over HTTPS with HTTP Strict Transport Security, a Content Security Policy, and clickjacking and MIME-sniffing protections enabled. Access to the systems that publish this site is restricted and logged.

8. Children

This site is directed at businesses and is not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under [AGE].

9. Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date above.
