Privacy Policy

Code Apricot (“Code Apricot”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) operates https://codeapricot.com (the “Website”) and provides software development and related technology services.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through the Website, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

1. Information We Collect

When you contact us through the Website, we collect information you voluntarily provide through our contact and enquiry forms.

The information may include:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your phone number, if you choose to provide it
• Your preferred contact method, if you choose to provide it
• The contents of your message or enquiry

The fields available on our contact forms may change from time to time. Depending on the fields enabled on the Website when you submit an enquiry, we may also collect other information you voluntarily provide through those fields, such as company or organization information, project requirements, project type, budget information, or similar business-related details.

You do not need to create an account to use the Website.

Information collected automatically

We may receive limited technical information contained in standard web requests and information necessary to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the Website.

We do not use fingerprinting, advertising pixels, or advertising/remarketing tracking technologies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We may use information we collect to:

• Respond to enquiries and requests
• Understand project requirements and communicate about requested services
• Provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Website
• Operate and troubleshoot our services
• Measure Website usage and performance through Google Analytics when analytics consent has been given
• Detect, prevent, and address security issues, fraud, misuse, or technical problems
• Comply with applicable legal obligations
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims where necessary

We do not use information submitted through our contact forms to send unsolicited marketing communications.

3. Contact-Form Communications

Information submitted through our contact and enquiry forms is used to respond to the enquiry and manage resulting business communication.

The contact form does not require an account.

We do not intentionally request sensitive personal information through the contact form. Please avoid submitting passwords, payment-card information, government identification numbers, health information, or other sensitive information unless specifically requested through an appropriate channel.

4. Google Analytics and Cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the Website and measure Website performance.

Analytics requires consent

Analytics is disabled by default.

Before analytics consent is granted, the Website does not set Google Analytics cookies or load Google Analytics for the visitor.

If you select “Accept” in the analytics consent notice, analytics is enabled and Google Analytics may set the cookies described below.

If you select “Reject”, analytics remains disabled.

You can later change or withdraw your analytics choice using the consent controls provided on the Website.

5. Local Storage Used for Consent

The Website stores your analytics preference in browser local storage under:

codeapricot-analytics-consent

This records whether you selected to grant or deny analytics consent. It is not used for advertising, profiling, or analytics tracking.

6. Service Providers

We may use third-party service providers for hosting, infrastructure, email delivery, analytics, security, and other technical services.

These providers may process information only as necessary to provide their services to us.

Our current analytics provider is Google Analytics 4.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to enquiries, maintaining appropriate business records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements.

We do not state a fixed universal retention period because retention can depend on the information, purpose, operational requirements, and applicable legal obligations.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no method of Internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. International Data Processing

Some service providers may process information in countries other than the country in which you are located.

Where applicable, we take reasonable steps to use appropriate contractual, technical, or organizational safeguards for such processing, consistent with applicable law.

10. Your Privacy Choices and Requests

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights concerning personal information we hold about you, including requests for access, correction, deletion, or other actions.

You may withdraw or change analytics consent at any time through the Website's consent controls.

We may need to verify a request before acting where required or permitted by law.

11. Children's Privacy

The Website is intended for a general audience and is not directed specifically to children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances where applicable law requires parental consent or otherwise restricts such collection.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us in a manner that violates applicable law, contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.
