Privacy Policy

Who I am

Dvelupmint is the trade name of a one-person business that designs and builds websites. In this policy, "I", "me" and "my" mean Dvelupmint. "You" means anyone who visits dvelupmint.com or contacts me through it.

Email contact@dvelupmint.com with any privacy question or request.

What I collect

The quote request form

When you send the form on the Contact page, your browser sends me:

  • your name
  • your email address
  • the project type you chose
  • your budget range, if you chose one
  • your message
  • the address of the page you sent it from
  • the date and time you sent it

Your browser delivers the form to a Google Apps Script program that runs in my Google account. The program adds your request as a new row in a Google Sheet in the same account. Your browser connects to Google's servers to deliver the form, so Google also receives your IP address and basic browser details.

Each time the program runs, it writes a log entry with your email address and the project type you chose. Google keeps that log in my account for a limited time that Google sets.

If the form can't reach Google, the page offers you a link that opens your own email app with your details filled in. That email then travels the way the next section describes.

Please leave passwords, payment card numbers and other sensitive details out of the form and out of email.

Email to contact@dvelupmint.com

Namecheap's email forwarding service receives mail sent to contact@dvelupmint.com and passes it to my Proton Mail inbox. I see what any email shows: your address, the name your email app attaches, the subject, the message, any attachments, and the technical headers that email systems add along the way. My replies come from my Proton Mail address.

Google Analytics, only if you accept

Google Analytics stays off until you click Accept on the cookie banner. Until then, your browser loads no Google Analytics code, stores no analytics cookies, and sends Google nothing about your visit.

If you click Accept, Google Analytics stores two cookies for this site:

  • _ga, which tells one browser apart from another
  • _ga_HYSG6VK205, which keeps track of your current visit

Google sets both to last up to 2 years and renews them each time you come back. Many browsers cut that lifetime shorter. Google Analytics sends the IDs in these cookies to Google with each measurement it takes.

With your consent, Google Analytics records:

  • the pages you view, when you view them, and the page that sent you here
  • how far you scroll, and which links to other sites you click
  • when you start or send the quote form, but not what you type in it
  • your device type, browser, screen size and language
  • your rough location, such as your city or region

Google receives your IP address, uses it to work out your rough location and to run the service (for example, to filter spam), and says it then discards the address.

I've switched off Google signals, the feature that connects visits to signed-in Google accounts, and I've switched off ad personalization. Accepting turns on analytics and nothing else. Google Analytics shows me totals and trends, such as visits per page. It doesn't show me your name or email address.

Your cookie choice

Your browser stores your Accept or Reject choice in its local storage, under the name dvm.consent. It isn't a cookie, and it stays in your browser. The banner asks again after 12 months, or sooner if I change how analytics work on this site.

GitHub's server logs

GitHub hosts this site on its GitHub Pages service. GitHub logs the IP address of every visitor for security purposes, whether or not you accept analytics. GitHub decides what else those logs hold and how long it keeps them. I don't control them.

Fonts and other files

This site's fonts, icons, scripts and images all come from the site's own host. Until you accept analytics, this site connects your browser to no one but GitHub while you browse. Sending the quote form connects you to Google, and a link to another site takes you to that site.

Why I use it

  • Quote requests and email. I use them only to reply to you, prepare your quote, carry out the project if you hire me, and keep my business records. If your country's law asks for a legal basis (the EU and UK, for example), mine is taking the steps you asked for before we sign a contract, and my legitimate interest in answering business inquiries.
  • Google Analytics. I use it to count visits and see which pages people read, so I can improve the site. The legal basis is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time through Cookie settings.
  • Your cookie choice. Your browser keeps it so the site can respect your choice without asking on every page. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in honoring the choice you made.
  • GitHub's server logs. GitHub uses them to keep its hosting secure, under GitHub's own privacy statement.

I don't use your information to make automated decisions about you.

How long I keep it

  • Quote requests in the Google Sheet: I keep each request until I no longer need it to answer you, carry out a project that follows, or keep the business records the law requires. If you ask me to delete it before then, I will, unless the law requires me to keep it.
  • The Apps Script log: Google deletes these entries after a limited period that Google sets.
  • Email: I follow the same rule as for quote requests. Namecheap controls whether it keeps forwarded mail, and for how long.
  • Google Analytics data: Google Analytics keeps detailed records of your visits for up to 14 months after your last visit, the longest period Google offers, then deletes them in a monthly cleanup. Standard reports that show totals, such as visits per page per month, fall outside that limit and stay in my Google Analytics account for as long as the account exists.
  • Google Analytics cookies: up to 2 years from your last visit, or less if your browser shortens it. Choosing Reject deletes them.
  • Your cookie choice: in your browser until you clear it. The site ignores it after 12 months.
  • GitHub's server logs: GitHub decides.

Who else handles your information

I don't sell your information or give it away. These companies handle it because I use their services, each under its own terms and privacy policy:

  • Google LLC runs Google Analytics (only if you accept), and the Apps Script program, Google Sheet and log that hold quote requests. Google's terms for Apps Script let Google monitor use of the service, for example to improve its products. Google Privacy Policy
  • GitHub, Inc. hosts this site and keeps its visitor logs. GitHub Privacy Statement
  • Namecheap, Inc. forwards email sent to contact@dvelupmint.com. Namecheap Privacy Policy
  • Proton AG, based in Switzerland, hosts my email inbox. Proton Privacy Policy

I may also disclose information when the law requires it, such as under a valid court order, or when I need it to protect my rights in a dispute. If I move this business into a company I own, or sell it, your information goes with the business, and this policy keeps applying to it.

Information sent to the United States

Dvelupmint is a US business, and Google, GitHub and Namecheap are US companies. If you visit or contact me from outside the United States, your information goes to the US, and it may also go to other countries where these companies run servers. US privacy law may protect you less than the law where you live. Each company explains how it protects information it moves between countries in the privacy policy linked above.

Your choices and rights

Cookie settings

You can change your analytics choice at any time. Click Cookie settings at the bottom of any page, or Change cookie settings at the end of this one, then choose Accept or Reject. Choosing Reject stops Google Analytics from collecting anything more and deletes its cookies from your browser. Google keeps what it collected before, until the 14-month limit above removes it.

Seeing, correcting or deleting your information

You can ask me to:

  • tell you what information I hold about you, and send you a copy
  • correct it
  • delete it
  • stop using it for a particular purpose

Email contact@dvelupmint.com from the address you used, or tell me which address it was. I may ask you to confirm you control that address before I act. I'll reply within 30 days. Asking costs nothing and won't count against you.

If the law requires me to keep something, such as the records of a paid project, I'll tell you what I kept and why.

Google Analytics records carry no name or email address, so I can't match them to you. Rejecting analytics and clearing your cookies stops any new ones.

If you're in the EU, the UK or Switzerland, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.

California residents

The sections above list the personal information I collect and the companies that receive it, and explain how to review and correct what you've sent me. The next section explains how I respond to Do Not Track signals. I don't sell or share your personal information, as California law defines those words.

Do Not Track, Global Privacy Control and tracking

Do Not Track

I don't respond to Do Not Track signals. Analytics start off for every visitor and stay off until you click Accept.

Global Privacy Control

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal and you haven't made a choice here, the site treats the signal as a Reject: analytics stay off, and the banner doesn't appear. You can still turn analytics on through Cookie settings. A choice you make with the banner or Cookie settings takes priority over the signal on this site, until you change it or it expires after 12 months.

Tracking by other companies

If you accept analytics, Google collects information about your visit to this site. Google also provides analytics and other services to many other websites, and explains its use of that information in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. GitHub hosts many other websites and logs visitor IP addresses on them. Apart from Google and GitHub, no company collects information about your browsing through this site.

Children

This site is for people and businesses looking to hire a web developer. It isn't aimed at children, and I don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has sent me information, email me and I'll delete it.

No selling, no sharing, no ads

I don't sell your personal information. I don't share it with anyone for advertising or to track you across other sites, and this site shows no ads. If that changes, I'll update this policy first and ask for your consent where the law requires it.

Changes to this policy

When I change this policy, I'll post the new version on this page and update the "Last updated" date at the top. If a change affects analytics, the cookie banner will ask for your choice again. Before I use information you've already sent me in a new way, I'll tell you.

This policy takes effect on September 11, 2026.
