Privacy policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Stackvala ("Stackvala", "we", "us" or "our") collects, uses, shares and protects personal information when you visit stackvala.com/, contact us, or request a quote. Effective and last updated: November 11, 2026.
Scope of this policy
This policy applies to personal information we collect through stackvala.com/ and through email and forms connected to it, including the contact form and the free estimate request. It does not cover the work we do for clients under a signed agreement. Information handled inside a client project is governed by that agreement and any data processing terms in it.
Stackvala is a software development studio that serves businesses in the United States. This website is intended for business visitors in the United States.
Information we collect
We collect personal information in three ways.
- Information you give us. When you submit a form or email us, we receive your name, work email, company name, role, project type, project stage, timeline, budget range and the message you write. Please do not include passwords, payment card numbers, health records or other sensitive data in a form.
- Information collected automatically. When you browse the site, we and our service providers may receive your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, language, referring page, pages viewed, time spent and approximate location derived from your IP address. This is collected through cookies, server logs and analytics tools.
- Information from communications. If we exchange emails or take part in a call, we keep a record of those messages and any notes we make so we can follow up properly.
California and other US categories of personal information
For residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws, here is how the information above maps to the usual statutory categories. We collected these categories in the 12 months before this policy was last updated.
| Category | Examples | Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Identifiers | Name, email address, IP address, company name | Yes |
| Commercial information | Project requirements, estimate requests, service interest | Yes |
| Internet or network activity | Pages viewed, referring page, browser and device data | Yes |

How we use personal information
- To respond to your enquiry, prepare a scope or estimate, and manage the conversation that follows.
- To operate, maintain, secure and improve the website, including fixing errors and measuring which content is useful.
- To send project-related messages you asked for. We do not send unsolicited bulk marketing.
- To detect, prevent and investigate spam, fraud, abuse and security incidents.
- To comply with legal obligations and to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not use your information to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions and, where enabled, to understand how the site is used. Analytics providers such as Google Analytics may set cookies and collect usage data on our behalf. The cookie policy lists what we use and how to control it.
Many browsers and extensions send an opt-out preference signal such as Global Privacy Control. Where the law requires, we treat a valid signal as a request to opt out of sale or sharing for that browser. Because we do not sell or share personal information for advertising, there is nothing further to opt out of, but your signal is respected.
How long we keep information
We keep enquiry and email records for as long as needed to respond, manage a possible engagement, and keep reasonable business records, which is generally up to three years after our last contact unless a longer period is required by law or a signed agreement. Analytics data is kept for the retention period set in our analytics settings. After that, we delete or de-identify it.
How we protect information
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and keeping the website software up to date. No website or transmission method is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law.
Your privacy rights
Depending on the state where you live (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Utah, Oregon and others with comprehensive privacy laws), you may have the right to:
- Know and access the personal information we hold about you and the categories of sources and recipients.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Delete personal information we collected from you, subject to legal exceptions.
- Obtain a portable copy of your information where required.
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, targeted advertising, and certain profiling. We do not engage in these practices.
- Not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.
To make a request, email contact@stackvala.com with the subject line “Privacy request” and tell us what you would like us to do. We will verify your identity by matching details you provide to what we hold, and respond within 45 days (we may extend once by another 45 days where the law allows, and will tell you why). You may use an authorized agent; we will ask for proof of authorization. If we decline a request, you may appeal by replying to our response, and we will review the decision within the time required by your state. If you remain unsatisfied, you may contact your state attorney general.
Children
This website is for business use and is not directed to children under 13, or under 16 in some states. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, email us and we will delete it.
Third-party websites
The site may link to third-party websites, such as social profiles. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please read their policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our practices or the law change. When we do, we will post the new version here and change the “last updated” date. If a change is material, we will make that clear on this page.
