This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit uptimizeit.com (the "Site") or contact us, how we use that information, and the choices you have regarding it.

Our Site uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience and understand how visitors use the Site. Cookies are small data files stored on your device. We use the following categories of cookies:

• Essential cookies. Required for the Site to function properly. These cookies cannot be disabled.

These cookies collect aggregated information about page views, traffic sources, and user behavior.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with the following limited categories of recipients:

• Service providers. We use third-party services to operate our Site and business. These include website hosting (currently provided by Lovable), Google Analytics for traffic analysis, and standard business tools such as email and accounting software. These providers have access only to the information needed to perform their services and are obligated to protect it.
• Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law, court order, subpoena, or other legal process, or if necessary to investigate or respond to claims, protect our rights, or comply with regulatory requirements.
• Business transfers. If Uptimize Design is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or similar transaction, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such transfer.

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. Specifically:

• Contact form submissions and project inquiries are typically retained for up to three (3) years after our last interaction with you, unless a project relationship is ongoing
• Client project records, contracts, and invoices are retained for at least seven (7) years for tax and legal recordkeeping purposes
• Aggregated analytics data may be retained indefinitely in a form that does not identify individuals

When information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include secure hosting, password-protected accounts, and limited access to client data on a need-to-know basis. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our Site and services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us so we can promptly delete it.

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, or external services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you visit.

When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy and post the revised version on this page. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
