This page is provided for general information and should not be considered legal advice.
This Privacy Policy explains how Dynamic Online Technologies LTD, trading as The Dot Dev (“we”, “us”, “our”), handles personal information when you visit thedotdev.com or contact us about a project.
Information we collect
We collect information you choose to provide when you use our website, including through our contact and project brief forms. This may include your name, email address, phone number, company name, website URL, project requirements, budget range, timeline, and any other details you include in your message.
We also collect limited technical information when you browse our website, such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, browser type, device type, and referral source. This helps us understand how the site is used and improve performance.
Analytics and similar technologies
Google Analytics is optional on this website. It remains off unless you choose to allow Analytics in Cookie settings. When enabled, it measures website traffic and page interactions using the Google tag and analytics cookies.
We may also use Google Search Console to monitor search performance and technical issues affecting the public website.
How Foyer uses information
Foyer is The Dot Dev's AI assistant. It helps visitors ask questions in natural language, understand approved information on our site, find relevant pages or services and prepare an enquiry for human review.
To respond, Foyer may use the question you enter, the page you are viewing, an identified section of that page and the options or actions you select. Do not enter passwords, payment details, health information or other sensitive information.
If you choose to send an enquiry, Foyer may help prepare a short summary. You can review the summary and decide whether to continue. Contact details and the reviewed summary are submitted only when you complete the final form, provide the required consent and select Send project enquiry.
Asking Foyer a question does not submit an enquiry, create a contract or confirm a quote, price, scope, availability or start date. These are reviewed and confirmed separately by our team.
Foyer can help prepare an enquiry, but you decide whether to send it. A member of our team reviews the request. Quotes, scope, timing, availability and contract terms require separate human confirmation.
We limit Foyer information to what is needed for the response, site security and any enquiry you choose to send. We do not place contact details, sensitive information or full conversation text in website analytics.
How we use information
We use personal information to:
- Respond to enquiries and project brief submissions
- Prepare proposals, quotes, and follow-up communication
- Improve our website, services, and user experience
- Maintain website security and prevent misuse
- Comply with legal or regulatory obligations where applicable
How long we keep information
Foyer's question and conversation state are held in the current page session and end when the page is closed or reloaded. If a contact submission needs temporary browser-side recovery, the submitted form payload is held in first-party local storage for no more than seven days and is removed sooner after successful delivery where possible.
The privacy-choice cookie is kept for 180 days unless you delete it or change your settings sooner. Google Analytics storage is created only after you allow Analytics and can be withdrawn through Cookie settings.
Third-party services
We use trusted third-party services to operate our website and business systems. These may process limited data on our behalf or receive information you choose to share with them.
