Privacy Policy

Who we are

This website is operated by CastleBytes LLC (“we”, “us”, “our”). We provide software architecture and consulting services.

What we collect

• Basic site logs. Our hosting platform collects standard server logs (IP address, user agent, pages visited) to keep the site secure and reliable.
• Booking details. When you schedule via Cal.com, we receive the information you provide in the booking form (e.g., name, company, meeting context) and calendar metadata.
• Communications. If you contact us, we’ll process the information you send (e.g., messages, attachments).
• Optional analytics. If enabled, privacy-respecting analytics may record page views and events in aggregate without cookies or uniquely identifying you. (Update this if you add a tool.)

How we use information

• Provide and improve our website and services
• Respond to inquiries and deliver booked meetings
• Detect, prevent, and address security issues or abuse
• Comply with legal obligations

Legal bases (if you’re in the EEA/UK)

International transfers

We may process data in the United States and other countries. When transferring personal data internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) where required.

Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above, then delete or de-identify it unless a longer period is required by law.
