Privacy Policy
How we collect, use and protect personal information.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Data Sphere Focus ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit dataspherefocus.com (the "Website") or contact us about our web design and development services. We aim to collect only the information we need and to handle it responsibly.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways: information you choose to provide to us, and limited technical information that is collected automatically when you use the Website.
3. Information Provided by Users
When you contact us by email, phone or through the contact form, you may provide your name, email address, phone number, country, the service you are interested in and the content of your message. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information that is not necessary for your enquiry.
4. Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure may automatically record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages requested and the date and time of access. This information is typically used for security, troubleshooting and keeping the Website running reliably.
5. Cookies
The Website uses a small amount of local browser storage to remember your cookie preferences. Optional categories (preferences, analytics and marketing) are not activated without your choice. For details, please read our Cookie Policy.
6. How Information Is Used
We use personal information to respond to enquiries, prepare proposals, provide and manage services, communicate about projects, maintain Website security, comply with legal obligations and improve our services.
7. Contact Form Data
The contact form on our Website prepares a message in your own email application addressed to [email protected]. The information you include is received by us as a normal email and used to respond to your enquiry and, where relevant, to discuss a potential project.
8. Analytics, if applicable
At present, the Website does not use third-party analytics services. If we introduce analytics in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, request your consent before analytics cookies or similar technologies are activated.
9. Marketing Technologies, if applicable
The Website does not currently use advertising or marketing tracking technologies. Should this change, we will update this policy and request consent where required by law.
10. Third-Party Providers
We rely on service providers to operate our business, such as website hosting, email services and font delivery. These providers may process limited personal information on our behalf, only as needed to provide their services. Fonts on this Website are loaded from Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address when fonts are requested.
11. Information Sharing
We do not sell personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us operate, when required by law or legal process, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition.
12. International Data Considerations
We are based in the United States and work with clients internationally. Information you provide may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. Where required, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers.
13. Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to enquiries, delivering services and meeting legal, accounting or reporting requirements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.
14. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
15. User Choices
You can choose not to provide personal information, although we may then be unable to respond to your enquiry. You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer, and you may ask us to stop contacting you.
16. Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
17. European / EEA Information
If you are in the European Economic Area, we process personal information on the basis of your consent, the steps necessary to enter into or perform a contract, compliance with legal obligations, or our legitimate interests in operating and improving our business. You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
18. UK Information
If you are in the United Kingdom, you have rights under UK data protection law similar to those described above, and you may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
19. Canadian Information
If you are in Canada, we handle personal information in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy principles, including obtaining meaningful consent and limiting collection to what is necessary. You may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you have concerns.
20. Australian Information
If you are in Australia, you may request access to or correction of your personal information, and you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) if you are not satisfied with our response to a privacy concern.
21. Relevant US Information
Residents of certain US states may have specific privacy rights, such as the right to know, delete or correct personal information and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
22. Children's Privacy
The Website and our services are intended for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us so we can delete it.
23. Third-Party Links
The Website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites and encourage you to review their policies.
24. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when the updated policy is posted on this page.
