2. Scope
This Policy applies to the public Portbyte website, contact form, email inquiries, and routine business development communications. Client projects may involve additional privacy terms, including a services agreement or data processing agreement.
3. Information we collect
Information you provide
- name, work email address, company, and professional contact details;
- service interests, expected timeline, project description, and correspondence;
- contract, billing, and project information if you become a client; and
- other information you choose to provide.
Information collected automatically
Our hosting and security providers may process IP address, browser and device type, requested URL, referring page, approximate location derived from IP, request timestamps, diagnostic information, and security logs when you visit the website.
4. How we collect information
We collect information directly from you through the contact form, email, contracts, meetings, and project communications. Technical information may be generated automatically by the website, hosting infrastructure, and security systems.
5. How we use information
We use personal information to:
- review and respond to business inquiries;
- prepare proposals and discuss potential engagements;
- deliver, administer, secure, and improve agreed services;
- operate, troubleshoot, and protect the website;
- maintain business, tax, legal, and compliance records;
- enforce agreements and prevent fraud, misuse, or security incidents; and
- comply with applicable law and valid legal requests.
6. Service providers and disclosures
We may disclose information to service providers that support website hosting, email delivery, business communications, cloud infrastructure, security, accounting, legal services, and project delivery. These providers may process information only for the relevant service and under their applicable contractual obligations.
The website is hosted on Vercel. Contact form messages are transmitted through a transactional email provider and delivered to our business email. The website is designed not to maintain a separate permanent database of contact form submissions.
We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, in connection with a corporate transaction, or with your direction or consent.
We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
7. Cookies and tracking technologies
We do not currently use advertising cookies, behavioral analytics, pixels, or cross-site tracking technologies. Hosting and security infrastructure may use strictly necessary technologies to operate and protect the website. If our practices change, we will update this Policy and provide consent controls where required.
8. Data retention
We retain inquiry and business development information for up to 24 months after the last substantive interaction, unless a longer period is reasonably needed for an active or anticipated business relationship, legal requirement, dispute, or security purpose.
We generally seek to retain routine website and security logs for no more than 90 days, subject to provider settings, incident response needs, and legal obligations. Contract, invoice, tax, and core business records may be retained for up to seven years or longer where required by law.
9. Data security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not submit passwords, payment card data, health information, government identifiers, or other sensitive personal information through the public contact form.
10. International visitors
Portbyte LLC is based in the United States, and information may be processed and stored in the United States and other locations where our service providers operate. Those locations may have privacy laws different from those in your jurisdiction.
11. Privacy rights and requests
Depending on where you live and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You may submit a request to contact@portbytes.com. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and authority.
We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right. You may also contact the relevant privacy or data protection authority in your jurisdiction.
12. California privacy notice
If the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, applies to Portbyte LLC and your information, you may have rights to know, access, correct, or delete personal information; to opt out of sale or sharing; to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; and to receive equal service when exercising those rights.
We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes requiring a right to limit under California law. Requests may be sent to contact@portbytes.com. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law, subject to verification.
13. Children’s privacy
The website and our business services are not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the website. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.
14. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal obligations. We will post the revised version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Material changes will receive additional notice where required by law.
