To deliver our services, we engage carefully vetted third-party subprocessors. Each maintains rigorous security certifications:
| Subprocessor | Purpose | Location | Compliance |

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. All subprocessors are bound by Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) that comply with GDPR Article 28 requirements.
We implement defense-in-depth security measures aligned with OWASP, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001 best practices:
Encryption at Rest
AES-256 encryption for all databases, object storage, and backups. Keys managed via AWS KMS with automatic rotation.
Encryption in Transit
TLS 1.3 enforced across all endpoints. HSTS headers with 1-year max-age. Certificate pinning for mobile APIs.
Access Control
Role-based access control (RBAC) with principle of least privilege. MFA enforced for all administrative accounts.
We conduct annual penetration testing by independent security firms and maintain a responsible disclosure program for vulnerability reporting.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected:
- ▹Contact form submissions: 24 months from last interaction, then anonymized or deleted.
- ▹Client project data: Duration of contract + 7 years for legal/tax compliance, then securely purged.
- ▹Analytics data: 26 months (Google Analytics default), then automatically deleted.
- ▹Server logs: 90 days for security monitoring, then purged.
When data is no longer needed, we use NIST 800-88 compliant deletion methods (cryptographic erasure for encrypted data, secure overwriting for unencrypted media).
Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 16, we will delete such information promptly upon discovery.
If you believe we might have information from or about a child, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
