How wizCode collects, uses, and protects your personal information.
wizCode Inc. ("wizCode", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website wiz-code.com, use our services, or communicate with us. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of our site and services.
We collect information you provide when you: fill out our contact form, request a project proposal, sign up for our newsletter, apply for employment, or communicate with us by email or phone. This may include your name, email address, phone number, company name, job title, project description, and any other information you choose to share.
When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information about your device and usage, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, time spent on pages, links clicked, and the date and time of your visit. This information is collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies.
We may receive information about you from third parties such as LinkedIn, GitHub, or referral partners, particularly in the context of hiring or business development activities. We handle such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We use the information we collect to: respond to your enquiries and provide the services you request; process and manage project engagements and contracts; send you project updates, invoices, and related communications; send newsletters and marketing communications (with your consent, which you may withdraw at any time); improve our website and services through analytics; comply with legal obligations; and prevent fraud and protect our legal rights.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, our legal bases for processing your personal data are: your consent (for marketing communications and non-essential cookies); the performance of a contract with you (for project delivery and billing); our legitimate interests (for website analytics and fraud prevention, where these do not override your rights); and compliance with legal obligations.
We use the following categories of cookies: Necessary cookies that are required for the website to function and cannot be disabled; Analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) that help us understand how visitors use our site; Functional cookies that remember your preferences such as theme settings; and Marketing cookies that help us and our partners show relevant advertising.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time via our Cookie Settings page. Withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies will not affect the functionality of the site for essential purposes.
We may share your information with: service providers who help us operate our business (such as email services, hosting providers, payment processors, and analytics platforms), each of whom is contractually bound to protect your data; legal and regulatory authorities where required by law; successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case we will notify you before your information is transferred; and professional advisors such as lawyers and accountants under duties of confidentiality.
We do not share your personal information with our clients or other third parties without your explicit consent, except as described in this policy.
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. For active clients, we retain project-related data for 7 years after the end of the engagement for accounting and legal purposes. Marketing subscription data is retained until you unsubscribe. Website analytics data is retained for 26 months.
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data: the right to access the data we hold about you; the right to correct inaccurate or incomplete data; the right to request deletion of your data (subject to legal retention requirements); the right to restrict processing; the right to data portability; the right to object to processing; and the right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@wiz-code.com.
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include TLS encryption for data in transit, AES-256 encryption for sensitive data at rest, access controls and authentication, regular security assessments, and employee training on data protection. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
wizCode is based in the United States. If you are located outside the US, please be aware that your information may be transferred to and processed in the US, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. Where we transfer data from the European Economic Area, we use approved Standard Contractual Clauses or other appropriate safeguards.
Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under 16, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe we may have collected information from a child, please contact us at privacy@wiz-code.com.
