Privacy policy

This policy explains what personal information APPIgators (“we”, “us”) collects through appigators.com, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We are a digital agency based in Ohio, USA.

What we collect

Information you give us. When you use our contact form, we collect what you enter: your name, email address, company, phone number, the services you are interested in and your message. If you sign up for The Swamp Report, our newsletter, we collect your email address. If you email or call us, we keep that correspondence.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider records basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you request and the time of your visit. We use this to keep the site running and secure.

We do not use analytics tools, advertising pixels or tracking cookies on this website.

How we use it

We use your information to:

• reply to your enquiry and talk with you about a possible project;
• send The Swamp Report if you have subscribed;
• prepare audits, proposals and quotes you ask for;
• run and protect the website, including preventing spam and abuse;
• meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations.

We send marketing emails only to people who have subscribed, and every one includes a way to unsubscribe.

Who we share it with

We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not share it for targeted advertising.

We share information only with service providers who help us run our business and who may process it only on our instructions. These include:

• Vercel, which hosts the website;
• our email and productivity providers, which receive contact form submissions and newsletter sign-ups and store our correspondence.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or as part of a sale or reorganisation of our business.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiries for as long as we need them to respond and follow up, and generally no longer than three years after our last contact with you. If you become a client, we keep project records for as long as our contract and legal obligations require. Hosting logs are kept by our provider for a short period under its own retention settings.

How we protect it

The website is served only over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), and access to form submissions and email is limited to our team. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.

Your rights

You can ask us at any time to:

• tell you what personal information we hold about you;
• correct information that is wrong;
• delete your information, unless we must keep it by law;
• stop contacting you.

Depending on where you live, you may have further rights under local law, such as the right to a copy of your information in a portable format or the right to complain to a data protection regulator. We will not treat you differently for exercising any of these rights.

To make a request, email us using the details below. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on it.

Children

This website is meant for businesses and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Other websites

Our site links to other websites, including our social media profiles and client work. Their own privacy policies apply when you visit them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed. If we make a significant change, we will make it clear on this page.
