PRIVACY POLICY

1. Information I Collect

I collect the following information when you use this website:

• Contact form submissions: Your name, email address, and message content when you reach out through the contact form.
• Payment information: When you purchase a service, PayPal collects your payment and billing details. I receive your name, email address, and transaction ID — I do not store your credit card or bank information.
• Project briefs: Any project details you voluntarily provide during the checkout process.

I do not use cookies for tracking or analytics. This site does not use Google Analytics or any third-party tracking scripts.

2. How I Use Your Information

Your information is used solely for the following purposes:

• Responding to your inquiries submitted through the contact form
• Processing payments and delivering the services you purchased
• Sending order confirmation and project-related email communications
• Maintaining records of transactions for accounting and legal purposes

I will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Third-Party Services

This website uses the following third-party services:

• PayPal: For secure payment processing. PayPal has its own Privacy Policy.
• EmailJS: For delivering contact form submissions and payment confirmation emails. EmailJS has its own Privacy Policy.
• Vercel: For website hosting. Vercel may collect standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, access times). See Vercel's Privacy Policy.
• Google Fonts: This site loads fonts from Google's servers. When you visit a page, your browser connects to Google to download font files, which means Google receives your IP address. See Google's Privacy Policy.

4. Cookies & Tracking

This website does not use cookies for tracking or analytics. No first-party cookies are set. Third-party services (such as PayPal during the checkout process) may set their own cookies as part of their payment flow — these are governed by their respective privacy policies listed above.

5. Data Retention

Contact form messages are retained for communication purposes and are not stored in a database — they are delivered directly to my email inbox via EmailJS. Payment transaction records are retained as required for accounting and legal compliance. Project files and deliverables are retained for the duration of the project and a reasonable period afterward for support purposes.

6. Data Security

I take reasonable measures to protect your information. All data in transit is encrypted via HTTPS. Payment processing is handled entirely by PayPal — I never have access to your full payment details. Environment variables containing API keys and secrets are stored securely and are not exposed to the client.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request a copy of any personal data I hold about you
• Request deletion of your personal data (subject to legal retention requirements)
• Withdraw consent for future communications at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email me at kbuendia.dev@gmail.com.

8. Children's Privacy

This website and its services are not directed at individuals under the age of 18. I do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

9. Changes to This Policy

I may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated version number. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
