This policy explains what information may be collected through this website, operated by ByteEngine, an individual freelance developer ("I", "me", "my"), and how that information is used, shared, and retained. This website is informational and project-related in nature; it is not intended for use by children, and is not directed at anyone under the age of 18.
Depending on how you interact with this website, the following information may be collected:
I do not knowingly collect more information than is reasonably necessary to respond to enquiries and deliver agreed services. You are not required to provide any information beyond what is necessary to be contacted back regarding an enquiry.
Information submitted through this website is used to:
Where applicable, information is processed on the basis that it is necessary to respond to your enquiry, to perform an agreed contract for services, to comply with accounting or legal obligations, or on the basis of legitimate interests in operating and protecting this website and my freelance business, such interests not being overridden by your own rights and interests.
This website does not store card numbers or other sensitive card details. Payments are processed through Razorpay's own secure checkout, which handles card, UPI, netbanking, and wallet data directly and is responsible for its own security and compliance obligations (including PCI-DSS compliance). This website only receives non-sensitive information related to a payment, such as the amount, email address, and any reference you provide.
This website may share information with the following types of third parties, only as reasonably needed to provide the services described above:
These third parties process information under their own privacy policies and terms, which I encourage you to review. No information is sold to third parties, and no information is shared for third-party advertising purposes. No advertising or analytics tracking beyond what is described in this policy is currently used on this website. I am not responsible for the independent privacy or security practices of third-party platforms outside my control.
As an individual freelancer working with clients internationally, information you provide may be processed or stored in a country other than your own, including where my hosting provider, Razorpay, or communication tools operate their servers. By using this website and providing information, you acknowledge that such information may be processed outside your country of residence.
This website does not currently use tracking or advertising cookies. Any cookies present are limited to what is technically necessary for the website to function, such as basic session handling. This website does not currently use third-party analytics or advertising scripts.
I take reasonable steps to protect information submitted through this website, including relying on reputable third-party providers for hosting, payment processing, and communications. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security of information submitted through this website or sent to me directly. To the extent permitted by applicable law, I am not liable for unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss of information that occurs due to circumstances beyond my reasonable control, including breaches affecting third-party providers I rely on.
Information related to enquiries and completed projects may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to manage the relevant project, respond to follow-up questions, defend or establish legal claims, and meet accounting or legal obligations, after which it may be deleted or anonymized at my discretion where it is no longer needed for these purposes.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request details of what information has been submitted about you, ask for it to be corrected, request that it be deleted where it is no longer needed, or object to certain uses of it. You can make such a request by contacting byteengine.work@gmail.com. I will respond to reasonable requests within a reasonable timeframe, though certain information may need to be retained where required for accounting, legal, or legitimate business record-keeping purposes.
This website and my services are intended for use by adults capable of entering into a freelance service agreement. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through this website, please contact me so it can be removed.
This policy may be updated from time to time at my discretion, to reflect changes in how this website operates or to meet legal requirements. Significant changes will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page. Continued use of this website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
