When you reach out to us through the contact link provided on this website (our Upwork profile) or otherwise communicate with us, you may provide information such as your name, email address, company, and the contents of your message. You choose what information to share with us.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics tools may automatically collect limited technical information when you visit the Site, including:

  • your IP address and approximate location;
  • browser type, device type, and operating system;
  • the pages you view, referring pages, and the date and time of your visit;

We do not use your information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

3. Legal Bases for Processing

Where data protection law (such as the EU/UK GDPR) applies, we process personal data on the basis of: your consent; our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Site and communicating with you; the steps necessary to respond to a request you make before entering into a contract; and compliance with legal obligations.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We and our service providers may use:

  • Essential cookies required for the Site to function;
  • Analytics cookies that help us understand traffic and usage in aggregate.

This Site also loads web fonts from Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address as part of serving those files. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect how the Site works.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service providers who help us run the Site (for example, web hosting, content delivery, and analytics providers), under appropriate confidentiality obligations;
  • Professional advisers such as lawyers and accountants where reasonably necessary;
  • Authorities or other parties where required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of any person.

If our business is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

6. International Transfers

We and our service providers may process information in countries other than the one in which you live. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we take steps intended to ensure it remains protected in line with this Policy and applicable law.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, after which it is deleted or anonymised.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect information against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access or disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to: access the personal information we hold about you; request correction or deletion; object to or restrict certain processing; withdraw consent; and request a copy of your information in a portable format. Residents of the EEA/UK have rights under the GDPR, and California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights.
