Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Wavestorm Software ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes our data practices when you visit our website. We do not use analytics or tracking tools on this site. We do not store personal identifiable information (PII) on our servers for ordinary browsing.

2. Information We Collect

For ordinary visits, we do not collect personal identifiable information. Server logs may temporarily record technical request data (such as IP address and user agent) as part of normal web server operation and security. We do not use this for marketing or profiling.

2.1 Contact Form Submissions

When you submit our contact form, your name, email, and message are sent to us via FormSpark. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not stored on our servers. FormSpark processes this data according to their privacy policy.

3. Website Hosting

Our website is hosted on our own servers located in the Netherlands. We do not use third-party cloud hosting services for the website itself. Our source code is publicly available on Codeberg for transparency, but the live website runs entirely on our infrastructure.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies for essential function and preferences only. We do not use analytics or advertising cookies. For details, see our Cookie Policy.

5. Third-Party Services

Our website may contain links to third-party services or use third-party tools. These services have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

• •Cloudflare: We use Cloudflare for security, performance, and DDoS protection.
• •Codeberg: Our open-source code is hosted on Codeberg. Note: Codeberg hosts only our source code, not our website.
• •FormSpark: Our contact form uses FormSpark (submit-form.com) to deliver messages to our email.
• •Social Media: Links to Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and Discord. These platforms have their own privacy policies.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. Our website uses HTTPS encryption, and we configure security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options. Since we do not store personal identifiable information on our servers for ordinary browsing, the risk of data breaches affecting your personal data is minimized. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have collected data from a child, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will take steps to remove such information.

8. Your Rights Under GDPR

As a company based in the Netherlands, we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Since we do not store personal identifiable information for ordinary site use, most data rights requests will be limited. However, you still have the right to:

• •Request information about data we may hold about you
• •Object to processing of your data
• •Withdraw consent at any time
• •Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

9. Data Retention

Since we do not store personal identifiable information on our servers for ordinary browsing, data retention is minimal. Contact form submissions are processed by FormSpark according to their retention policy and are not stored on our infrastructure.

10. International Data Transfers

As we are based in the Netherlands (EU), your data is primarily processed within the European Economic Area (EEA). In cases where data may be transferred outside the EEA (e.g., through Cloudflare's global network), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information.
