California Privacy Notice

This notice applies to California residents who visit the DevBotz LLC website, submit an inquiry or consultation request, communicate with us, or receive our services. It supplements our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

It addresses the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, the "CCPA"). Where another California law applies to a specific interaction, such as the Shine the Light law, we address it separately below.

The CCPA applies to for-profit businesses doing business in California that meet defined thresholds, generally relating to annual gross revenue, the volume of consumer or household records processed, or the share of revenue derived from selling or sharing personal information.

We review our applicability periodically. We do not assume that every CCPA obligation applies to our business, and we do not represent that our practices comply with every CCPA provision. Where a requirement does not apply to us, we say so rather than implying a right or obligation that does not exist.

We publish this notice because we believe transparency about our data practices is appropriate regardless of whether a particular threshold is met, and because our practices may change as our business grows.

In the past twelve months, we have collected the following categories of personal information directly from you or from your interactions with our website:

• Identifiers: name, business email address, phone number, company name, and online identifiers such as IP address.
• Commercial information: the services you are interested in, your stated business size (employees and devices), and communications about a potential engagement.
• Internet or network activity: pages viewed, referring pages, and general technical data collected through our website and, where you consent, analytics tools.

We do not intentionally collect government identifiers, precise geolocation, biometric data, financial account numbers, health information, or other sensitive personal information through this website. Please do not transmit sensitive information through our website forms.

We collect personal information from you when you complete a form, email or call us, or interact with our website; and automatically through your browser and, where you have consented, through analytics technologies described in our Cookie Policy. We do not purchase personal information from data brokers.

We use personal information to respond to your inquiry, schedule and conduct consultations, evaluate whether our services fit your needs, prepare proposals, deliver services under an agreement, operate and secure our website, maintain business records, and comply with legal obligations.

We do not use personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects, and we do not build advertising profiles from website visitors.

We disclose personal information to service providers and contractors who process it on our behalf for the business purposes described above, including website hosting and infrastructure, email and communication platforms, business productivity and customer-relationship tools, and — only when you consent — analytics providers.

These providers are bound to use the information only to provide services to us, and to protect it as required by their agreements with us. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.

We do not sell personal information, and we have not sold personal information in the past twelve months. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

Certain analytics cookies, when enabled by your consent, may constitute "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CCPA depending on how the provider uses the data. We limit analytics tools to measurement purposes and do not use them to serve you advertising. You can withhold consent entirely by choosing "Essential only" in our cookie banner.

We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that would trigger a right to limit under the CCPA.

We retain personal information for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected: inquiry and consultation submissions are kept while we evaluate and follow up on the request and for a reasonable period afterward for business records; engagement records are kept for the duration of the relationship and for the period required by law, tax, and insurance obligations.

Website analytics data is retained according to the retention settings of the analytics provider. Where a request does not lead to an engagement, we periodically delete or de-identify the associated submission.

Subject to the applicability discussion above and to legal exceptions, California residents may have the right to:

• Know what categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected, the sources, the purposes, and the categories of recipients.
• Request deletion of personal information we collected from you.
• Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and limit the use of sensitive personal information. We do not sell personal information and do not use sensitive personal information for purposes requiring limitation.
• Be free from discrimination for exercising your rights. We do not deny services, charge different prices, or provide a different level of service because you exercised a privacy right.

You may submit a request by emailing hello@devbotz.com or calling +1 (424) 470-0949. Please describe the right you wish to exercise and the information the request concerns.

We will acknowledge your request and verify your identity before acting on it, typically by confirming control of the email address associated with the request or by matching information you provide against our records. If we cannot verify your identity, we may ask for additional information or decline the request, and we will explain why.

You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. We may require written permission from you and may still contact you directly to verify your identity.

Where a browser or extension sends a legally recognized opt-out preference signal, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), our site automatically detects it and defaults optional analytics and tracking consent to denied.

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request certain information about our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make a request anyway, contact hello@devbotz.com.

We may update this notice as our practices change or as guidance from the California Privacy Protection Agency evolves. The revised notice will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
