Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how StonkSoftware ("StonkSoftware", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website or contact us about a project. It applies to stonksoftware.com and to inquiries submitted through our contact form.

1. Who we are

StonkSoftware is a software development firm headquartered at 80 Broad St #500, New York, NY 10004, United States. For any privacy-related question, contact us at [email protected].

2. Information we collect

We collect information in two ways: what you give us directly, and limited technical information collected automatically when you visit the site.

2.1 Information you provide

2.2 Information collected automatically

This website does not use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies. We do not currently run scripts that profile visitors, build advertising audiences, or track you across other sites. See our Cookie Policy for full detail on what, if anything, is set in your browser.

Loading this page does cause your browser to request font files directly from Google Fonts' servers, which may expose your IP address to Google as part of that standard web request; this is a technical byproduct of font delivery, not something we use for tracking or that we can access ourselves.

3. How we use your information

• To respond to your inquiry and evaluate whether we're a good fit for your project;
• To communicate with you about a potential or active engagement;
• To deliver our services, where you become a client; and
• To meet legal, accounting, or contractual record-keeping obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use contact-form data for advertising or marketing profiling.

4. Legal basis for processing (EEA/UK visitors)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, our legal basis for processing your information is: your consent (by submitting the form), our legitimate interest in responding to business inquiries, and, where you become a client, the performance of a contract with you.

5. Sharing of information

We may share information with service providers who help us operate our business — for example, email hosting or productivity tools — solely to the extent needed for them to perform that function on our behalf, and under confidentiality obligations. We do not share your information with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes, and we do not sell personal information.

6. International data transfers

StonkSoftware is based in the United States. If you contact us from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, which may have different data protection laws than your home country.

7. Data retention

We retain contact-form inquiries and client information for as long as reasonably needed to respond to your request, deliver services if engaged, and meet legal, tax, or contractual obligations. Inquiries that do not result in an engagement are typically deleted or anonymized within 24 months.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or request deletion of your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know what personal information is collected and to request deletion; EEA/UK residents have equivalent rights under the GDPR/UK GDPR. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]; we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

9. Children's privacy

Our website and services are directed at businesses and professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16, and we ask that individuals under that age not submit information through this site.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we hold, including restricting access to inquiry data to personnel who need it. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Third-party links

Our website may reference or link to third-party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their policies separately.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, our use of cookies or tracking (if that changes in the future), or applicable law. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision, and material changes will be reflected on this page before they take effect.

13. Contact us

Questions or requests regarding this Privacy Policy can be sent to [email protected] or mailed to StonkSoftware, 80 Broad St #500, New York, NY 10004, United States.
