Privacy Policy

We collect and process only the information necessary to evaluate project briefs, provide technical recommendations, deliver contracted client services, and maintain our website.

Last Updated: August 20, 2026 | Effective: Immediate
01

Overview & Scope

This Privacy Policy describes how GODIGITAL Studio ("GODIGITAL", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects personal and business information through our website (https://godigital.agency), project quote forms, newsletter subscriptions, customer inquiries, and professional client engagements.

We provide custom web development, WordPress architecture, UI/UX design, technical SEO, e-commerce engineering, and workflow automation services. We do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade your personal information or project details to data brokers or third-party marketers.

02

Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you provide voluntarily, as well as technical data generated automatically through website interactions:

Contact & Project Briefs

When you submit a message or project inquiry via our contact form, we collect your name, email address, selected service interest, project details, and optional details such as company name, phone number, and estimated budget range.

Newsletter Subscriptions

When you subscribe to our engineering and design insights newsletter, we collect your email address. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link provided in every newsletter communication.

On-Site Chatbot Inquiries

Messages typed into our interactive website assistant are processed to provide immediate information on services, capabilities, and pricing estimates. Chat inquiries are processed in-session.

Server & Security Logs

Standard web server logs collect technical connection details such as IP address, browser type, operating system, and request timestamps to prevent abuse, enforce rate limits, and maintain service security.

03

How We Use Your Information

We process collected data exclusively for legitimate operational, contractual, and communication purposes:

  • Project Scoping & Estimates: Reviewing project briefs, technical specifications, and timeline requirements to prepare accurate proposals and architecture recommendations.
  • Client Project Delivery: Communicating during development sprints, staging reviews, milestone sign-offs, technical handoffs, and post-launch support.
  • Direct Communications: Replying to technical inquiries, support requests, and delivering requested newsletter updates.
  • Infrastructure Security: Protecting our website, API endpoints, and forms against automated spam, bot attacks, and denial-of-service threats.
04

AI Assistant & Chat Processing

Our website includes an interactive assistant designed to answer questions regarding our web development services, pricing tiers, and agency capabilities.

Assistant Data Handling:

  • API Processing: Chat messages are processed securely via server-side API requests to OpenAI endpoints. Conversations are handled in real-time to generate responses.
  • No Public Model Training: Under standard commercial API terms, data submitted via our backend API calls is not used by the model provider to train public artificial intelligence models.
  • Sensitive Information Notice: The chatbot widget is intended for general inquiries and service scoping. Please do not submit confidential credentials, private API keys, passwords, or sensitive payment details into the chat window.
05

Cookies & Local Storage

We believe in clean web engineering. Our website does not utilize third-party advertising tracking pixels, cross-site profiling tools, or invasive data brokers. We utilize minimal client-side storage strictly for functional user preferences:

Storage Key Mechanism Purpose Duration
gd-theme Local Storage Remembers your preferred color theme (Dark or Light mode). Persistent on device
gd-loaded Session Storage Prevents repeating the initial loader animation during the same browsing session. Session only
06

Third-Party Services & Infrastructure

To host our web properties, securely manage database submissions, and support client operations, we use trusted technical service providers:

Database Storage (Supabase)
Secure cloud database infrastructure utilized to store contact form inquiries and newsletter subscriber records.
AI Processing (OpenAI)
Backend API service used to generate real-time conversational responses for our on-site chatbot.
Hosting & Edge CDN

Client Code Delivery (GitHub)

07

Data Retention & Security

We implement industry-standard technical and operational safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure:

  • Encrypted Data Transmission: All web traffic is strictly encrypted in transit using modern HTTPS / TLS protocols.
  • Retention Periods: Contact form submissions and project communications are retained as needed to service active engagements, maintain business and accounting records, or until a deletion request is received.
  • Input Validation: All form inputs and API payloads are validated on the server using typed schemas to mitigate security vulnerabilities and invalid data submissions.
