Privacy Policy
1. Information We Collect
We respect your privacy and only request the data necessary to provide personalized features and secure communication. The data collected includes:
- Account Information: Your name, email address, password hash, and optional details (headline, location, phone number) when you register or edit your profile.
- Profile Picture: Optional photos uploaded to personalize your account. These images are compressed and saved on our hosting server.
- Usage Data: Event notifications you create in EventEcho, generated text templates in ContentForge, and service inquiries submitted through booking forms.
- Security Logs: Basic server logs including login timestamps and IP addresses to monitor and prevent brute-force attacks or fraud.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your details are strictly used to run the application features and facilitate direct collaboration:
- To authenticate and maintain your active login session.
- To save and trigger your dates and alerts inside EventEcho.
- To load project status updates, Kanban tasks, and general project messages in the Services Dashboard.
- To contact you regarding service bookings or inquiries.
We never sell, rent, or distribute your email address or personal details to third-party marketing companies.
3. Cookies and Storage
We use session cookies to keep you logged into your account and retain preferences. Session parameters are configured with standard security attributes (HTTPS secure flags where available, SameSite Lax settings, and HttpOnly boundaries) to protect against unauthorized script access.
4. Data Protection and Security
We employ security protocols to protect your information:
- Passwords are securely encrypted using PHP's robust `password_hash()` algorithm before database storage.
- File uploads are strictly validated and compressed on the server to prevent malicious code execution.
- All communications are processed securely through database queries using prepared statement SQL parameters, preventing injection threats.
5. User Rights and Controls
You maintain full control over your details:
- Access & Editing: You can view and edit all profile settings, contact info, headline, location, and upload or replace your profile photo at any time from your Profile/Settings page.
- Data Deletion: If you wish to delete your account and clear all associated event logs and dashboard data, you may reach out directly via the Contact form to process the request.
6. Changes to This Policy
This privacy policy might be updated from time to time. If major changes are introduced, we will update the "Last Updated" timestamp at the top of the page. By continuing to use the portfolio and integrated tools, you consent to these practices.
