Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Qodeko Ltd (Registered in England & Wales. Company No. 15369402., "Qodeko", "we", "us") collects, uses and protects personal data when you visit qodeko.com or submit an enquiry through our contact form. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and in line with UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Information we collect

We collect information in two ways:

• Information you provide directly. When you submit our contact form, we collect your full name, email address and message, along with any optional details you choose to provide such as company name, phone number, project budget and timeline.
• Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we use analytics tools that may collect standard technical information such as your approximate location, device and browser type, pages viewed and how you interact with the site.

2. How we use your information

• To respond to enquiries submitted through our contact form
• To understand how visitors use our website, so we can improve it
• To maintain the security and proper functioning of our website
• To comply with our legal obligations

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use contact form submissions for marketing without your consent.

3. Legal basis for processing

We process contact form submissions on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries about our services, and in some cases to take steps towards entering into a contract at your request. We use analytics on the basis of consent, where required, or our legitimate interest in understanding and improving our website.

4. Cookies and analytics

We use Firebase Analytics (a Google product) to understand website usage. This may involve cookies or similar technologies. For full details on the specific cookies used and how to control them, see our Cookie Policy.

5. How we store your data

Contact form submissions are stored securely using Firebase (Google Cloud Firestore). Access to this data is restricted, and it is not publicly readable. We retain contact form submissions only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry and for our legitimate business record-keeping.

6. Third-party services

We use Firebase and Google Cloud infrastructure (provided by Google) to run parts of this website, including our contact form and analytics. As a result, some data may be processed on servers operated by Google, which may be located outside the UK. Where this happens, Google provides appropriate safeguards for international data transfers in line with UK data protection law.

Our website also links to our own products, CarVerified (carverified.co.uk) and PixelloAI (pixelloai.com), which have their own separate privacy practices.

7. Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you
• Request that inaccurate data be corrected
• Request that your data be deleted, where applicable
• Object to or restrict certain processing of your data
• Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at admin@qodeko.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your data has been mishandled.

8. Children's privacy

Our website is intended for businesses and individuals seeking software development services. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
