Privacy Policy

OpenTechCore ("we", "us", or "our") provides custom software engineering services. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle personal information when you browse opentechcore.com, contact us, or engage us for a project.

We process personal data in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where it applies, and we apply the same standards globally as a matter of practice.

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

• Contact details — name, email, company, phone number, and project information you submit through our contact form or email.
• Business information — role, budget range, project type, and messages you choose to share during discovery or delivery.
• Technical data — IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referral source collected through standard server logs and analytics.
• Client project data — credentials, documents, and systems access provided under a separate agreement when we deliver services for you.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data through this website. Please do not submit health, financial account, or government ID information unless we have agreed a secure channel for that purpose.

We use personal information to:

• Respond to enquiries and schedule consultations
• Prepare proposals, statements of work, and contractual documentation
• Deliver, operate, and improve our software engineering services
• Maintain website security, diagnose issues, and understand aggregate usage
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements

Our lawful bases under GDPR typically include legitimate interests (operating and improving our business), contract performance (delivering requested services), and consent where required (for example, non-essential cookies or marketing communications).

We do not sell personal information. We share data only with trusted service providers who help us operate — for example hosting, email, analytics, project management, and development tooling — under contracts that require appropriate safeguards.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, with notice where legally permitted.

We retain enquiry and commercial records for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes above, typically up to six years after the end of a business relationship unless a longer period is required by law or contract.

We implement technical and organisational measures including access controls, encryption in transit, least-privilege access, and secure development practices. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; we work continuously to reduce risk.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal data, and to data portability where applicable. You may also withdraw consent at any time where processing is consent-based.

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@opentechcore.com. You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe our processing violates applicable law.

Our website may use essential cookies required for security and basic functionality. We may also use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect site functionality.

Where non-essential cookies are used in jurisdictions that require consent, we will request your permission before setting them.

OpenTechCore works with clients and infrastructure providers globally. When personal data is transferred outside your country, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms where required.

For privacy questions or requests, email privacy@opentechcore.com or write to OpenTechCore, Privacy Team, via our general contact address on file for your region.

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
