Privacy Policy

1. Who is responsible for the data

The website is operated by an independent developer under the personal technical brand ShadowCatLabs. ShadowCatLabs is not a fictional studio or a separate legal entity.

Privacy enquiries may be submitted through the current public channel on the Contact page. A dedicated domain email address will be published after email setup is complete.

2. Data that may be processed

• technical request data, including IP address, date and time, requested URL, browser and device information, and server response code;
• information you voluntarily provide through an external communication channel, including your name, contact details, enquiry, and attached materials;
• business correspondence and information needed to assess a project, prepare an agreement, and deliver agreed work.

The website has no registration form, user accounts, payment processing, or automated order placement.

3. Purposes and legal grounds

Technical data is used to deliver pages, secure the server, prevent abuse, and diagnose errors. The legal ground is the legitimate interest in operating a secure and reliable website.

Correspondence data is used to answer your enquiry, assess the task, prepare a proposal, and take steps at your request before entering into a contract. If work begins, further processing is governed by the agreement and applicable legal obligations.

4. Cookies and analytics

The current website does not use advertising, analytics, or other optional cookies, does not save the language selection in your browser, and does not use behavioural tracking. For that reason, no cookie consent banner is displayed.

If these tools are introduced, this policy will be updated and technologies requiring consent will not run before the visitor makes a choice.

5. Recipients and external services

Technical data is processed on the personally managed VPS hosting this website. When you follow an external link, such as GitHub or a project website, subsequent processing is governed by the policies of that service.

Correspondence may be processed by the communication channel you choose and by the email provider once domain email is connected. Data is not sold or shared for third-party advertising.

6. Retention and security

Technical logs are retained only for the period reasonably required for security, troubleshooting, and system administration, subject to log rotation, unless longer retention is required to investigate an incident or comply with law. Correspondence is retained as needed to answer the enquiry, manage the project, record agreements, and satisfy applicable requirements.

Measures include HTTPS, restricted network access, a maintained server environment, and access controls. No storage method can guarantee absolute security.

7. Your rights

Depending on the law that applies, you may request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of your data, object to processing, request a portable copy, and lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Use the Contact page to submit a request.

8. Changes to this policy

This policy will be updated when the functionality, communication methods, providers, or legal requirements of the website change. The current version is always published at this address.
