Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Kocitech (Local Dev) (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

We aim to collect as little personal information as possible. The data we may collect includes:

• Information you give us. When you use our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide.
• Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and analytics tools automatically record standard log data such as your browser type, device, approximate location, referring pages, and the pages you view.
• Cookies. We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences (such as light or dark mode) and to understand how the site is used.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to respond to your enquiries, send our newsletter (only if you opted in), operate and improve the website, measure our audience, and keep the site secure.

Cookies and web beacons

Cookies are small files stored on your device. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not function as intended if you do.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We may use third-party advertising companies, including Google, to serve ads when you visit the site. These companies may use cookies (such as Google’s advertising cookies) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info.
• Third-party vendors and ad networks may also use cookies on our site; we do not control these cookies.

Analytics

We use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the site. These services collect information sent by your browser, aggregated so that individuals are not personally identified to us.

Third-party links

Our articles may link to external websites and products. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties and encourage you to review their policies.

Data retention

We keep contact-form messages and subscriber details only for as long as needed to respond to you or provide the newsletter, after which they are deleted on request.

Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you at any time. To do so, contact us through our Contact page.

Children’s privacy

Our site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
