Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Elias Software Consulting collects through this website, why it is collected, and what choices you have. It is written to be read rather than to be impressive.

Information you share with us

If you submit the contact form, we receive the information you enter: your name, email address, and optionally your company, website, budget range, timeline, area of interest, and message. This is delivered to our email inbox through Web3Forms, a third-party form delivery service. We use it to reply to you and, if we work together, to carry out the engagement.

We do not sell this information, we do not add you to a marketing list without you asking, and we do not share it with third parties except the service providers described below.

Information collected automatically

With your consent, this site uses Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads tags. These set cookies and collect information such as the pages you visit, how you arrived, approximate location derived from your IP address, and details about your device and browser. We use this to understand which pages generate inquiries and whether advertising is worth what it costs.

No analytics or advertising cookies are set until you accept them. Until you make a choice, Google's consent signals are all set to denied. You can change your decision at any time using the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer.

Service providers

• Web3Forms processes contact form submissions and forwards them to our email.
• Google (Analytics and Ads) provides measurement and advertising, subject to your consent choice.
• DigitalOcean hosts this website and processes standard server request data.

Your choices and rights

You can decline analytics and advertising cookies without losing access to anything on this site. You can ask us what information we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted, by emailing [email protected]. Depending on where you live you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act, and we will honour those requests regardless of whether they are legally required in your case.

Data retention

Inquiry emails are retained for as long as they are commercially useful, and deleted on request. Analytics data is retained according to the settings configured in Google Analytics.

Children

This is a business-to-business website and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.
