Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data I collect on dkovalenko.dev (the "Website"), why I collect it, how I use it, and what rights you have.

When you use the Website or contact me, I may collect:

• Contact details you provide voluntarily: name, email address, phone number, messenger handle, and the content of your message.
• Technical data: IP address (or part of it), browser type, device information, language settings, pages visited, time of visit, and referral source.
• Cookies / tracking technologies (if enabled): used for basic website functionality, analytics, and improvement.

I use personal data to:

• respond to inquiries and communicate with you;
• prepare an estimate/proposal and discuss cooperation terms;
• maintain website security and prevent abuse;
• analyze website usage and improve the Website (analytics).

Depending on your location and the context, I process data based on:

• your consent (e.g., submitting a form or accepting cookies);
• contractual necessity (to take steps at your request before entering into a contract);
• legitimate interests (website security, basic analytics, service improvement);
• legal obligations (where applicable).

I do not sell your personal data and I do not share it with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Your data may be processed by:

• hosting/infrastructure providers used to run the Website;
• analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager), if enabled;
• communication services you use to contact me (Email/Telegram/WhatsApp);
• subcontractors involved in technical delivery only when necessary and only to the minimum extent required.

These parties process data only to provide their services and under their own privacy terms.

The Website may use cookies:

• strictly necessary cookies — to ensure basic functionality;
• analytics cookies — to understand usage and improve the Website (if enabled).

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. If the Website uses a cookie consent banner, you can manage your preferences there.

I keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described above:

• inquiries and correspondence — typically up to 12 months or until communication ends;
• technical logs — typically 30–90 days;
• contract-related data — as required by applicable law (if relevant).

I use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data (access controls, updates, hosting security). However, no internet transmission or storage system is 100% secure.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• access your data;
• correct or update it;
• request deletion (where applicable);
• restrict or object to processing;
• withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent);
• lodge a complaint with a data protection authority (where applicable).

To exercise your rights, contact me at privacy@dkovalenko.dev.

Some service providers may process data outside your country. Where applicable, transfers are handled using appropriate safeguards as described in the providers' privacy practices.

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be published on this page with an updated effective date.
