Privacy Policy
Last updated November 8, 2026
This policy explains what personal information kazutechsystems.com collects, why, who handles it, and the choices you have. Our apps have their own privacy policies on their own websites; this one covers this site only.
Who we are
KazuTech Systems is an independent software studio run by Daniel Hirman. We decide how the information described here is used. To reach us about it, email [email protected].
What we collect
What you send us. If you use the project form, we receive your name, email address, company or organization, what you need, your budget range and timeline, and the details you write. If you use the Join form, we receive your name, email address, the areas you're interested in, a link to your work, and your message. You choose what to include; please don't send anything you wouldn't want us to read.
Spam protection. The forms include a hidden field and a timer that help us tell people from automated bots. We use them only for that, and we don't store your IP address with your message.
Visit statistics. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. It records things like which pages are viewed, the referring site, and your country, browser and device type. It doesn't use cookies and doesn't follow you across sites.
Server records. Cloudflare hosts this site and, like any host, processes your IP address and request details to deliver pages and keep the site secure.
Cookies and browser storage
This site sets no cookies and has no advertising or tracking tools. If you use the light/dark switch, your browser stores one small item (called kazu-theme) on your device so the site remembers your choice. It stays on your device and is never sent to us. Our fonts are served from this site, not from a third party.
How we use it
- To read and reply to your enquiry or introduction, and to follow up on what you asked about.
- To decide whether a project or collaboration is a fit.
- To keep the site running, secure and free of spam, and to understand overall how it is used.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, our legal bases are: taking steps you ask for before entering an agreement (replying to your enquiry), and our legitimate interests in running and securing the site, filtering spam and understanding visits. We don't make automated decisions about you or build profiles.
We don't sell your personal information, we don't share it for advertising, and we don't add you to a mailing list.
Who handles your information
- Cloudflare hosts the site, runs the form handler that emails us your message, routes our email and provides the visit statistics.
- Our email provider, currently Google (Gmail), receives and stores the messages you send us.
We also share information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights, or with a successor if KazuTech Systems is ever sold or merged. These providers may process information in the United States and other countries; where the law requires safeguards for such transfers, we rely on the mechanisms those providers offer, such as standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiries and introductions only as long as we need them to reply and follow up, and we delete them when you ask. Cloudflare keeps its own server records and statistics under its own retention schedule.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example the EEA, the UK or California), you may have the right to know what we hold about you, get a copy, correct it, delete it, object to or restrict how we use it, and take it elsewhere. You can also withdraw any consent you gave. Email [email protected] from the address you wrote to us with, and we will answer within 30 days. We won't treat you differently for exercising these rights. If you think we have handled your information unlawfully, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
California residents: in the past 12 months we have collected identifiers (name, email), professional and business information (company, budget, timeline, links to work) and, through Cloudflare, aggregate internet activity. We do not sell or "share" personal information as those terms are defined in California law.
Children
This site is for businesses and professionals. It isn't directed at children under 13 (or under 16 where local law sets a higher age), and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has sent us information, email us and we will delete it.
Security
The site uses HTTPS, and messages go straight to a private inbox. No system is perfectly secure, so please keep sensitive details out of the forms.
Other sites
Links to other sites, such as LinkedIn, the Microsoft Store or our apps' own websites, lead to places with their own privacy practices. We aren't responsible for them.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top, and for significant changes we will say so on this page.
