How we handle information from this website.

What this covers

This page describes how AppStartDev handles information collected through this website. It does not cover information shared during a paid engagement, which is governed by the contract for that engagement.

What we collect on this site

• Contact form submissions. Name, email, company, project type, budget range, and message. Stored only long enough to respond and follow up.
• Server logs. IP address and basic request metadata, retained for short periods to defend against abuse and debug failures.
• Cookies. Essential cookies are used to remember your theme preference and your cookie banner choice. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4) only load if you accept them in the cookie banner. No third-party advertising cookies.

Third-party services we use

• Resend delivers contact form submissions to our inbox. Submissions transit through Resend.
• Google reCAPTCHA v3 evaluates whether form submissions are likely automated. Google sets cookies and reads page signals to make this judgement. We pass only what reCAPTCHA needs to score the request.
• Google Analytics 4 measures aggregate traffic and page popularity, with IP anonymisation enabled. It only loads after you accept analytics in the cookie banner. You can decline and the site continues to work normally.
• GitHub hosts the source for this site. The deployed site does not load anything from GitHub at runtime.

Each of these companies has its own privacy practices. We do not control them, and we do not share information with them beyond what their integration requires.

How we use what you send

Contact form messages are read by a senior member of the team and used to reply, schedule a call, or decline politely. We do not sell, share, or syndicate this information. We do not add submitters to a marketing list.

Retention

Contact form messages are retained while a conversation is active and for a reasonable follow-up window after, then archived or deleted. Server logs are typically rotated within 30 days.
