Privacy Policy

Who we are and the scope of this policy

Edge Stone Technologies LLC ("Edge Stone Technologies", "we", "us", or "our") is a technology company registered in Wyoming, United States. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information when you visit this website, contact us, or use any mobile or web application or service that we own and operate and that links to this policy.

Where we build or operate software on behalf of a client, that client is generally the controller of the personal information processed through their product, and their own privacy policy governs that processing. This policy covers Edge Stone Technologies’ own website, applications, and services.

Information we collect

We collect the following categories of information:

• Information you provide — such as your name, email address, phone number, company, the content of enquiries or project details, and any information you choose to include when you contact us or complete a form.
• Information collected automatically — such as device and browser type, operating system, app version, IP address, approximate location derived from your IP address, pages or screens viewed, referring pages, and general usage and diagnostic data.
• Information from apps (where applicable) — if you use one of our applications, we may process account details, in-app activity, and push notification tokens, and — only where a feature requires it and you grant permission — device capabilities such as location, camera, or photos. You can change these permissions at any time in your device settings.
• Cookies and similar technologies — we and our analytics providers may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the site and understand how it is used.
• Information from third parties — such as analytics, hosting, or authentication providers that help us run our website and services.

We only collect information that helps us respond to enquiries, operate and improve our website and services, and meet our legal obligations.

How we use your information

We use personal information to:

• respond to your enquiries and communicate with you;
• provide, operate, maintain, and improve our website, apps, and services;
• personalise and improve your experience;
• monitor and secure our systems and prevent fraud or misuse;
• understand how our website and services are used through analytics;
• send service-related and, where permitted, marketing communications (you can opt out at any time); and
• comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

We do not sell your personal information.

Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR/UK GDPR: your consent (which you may withdraw at any time); performance of a contract or taking steps at your request before entering one; our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving our business (balanced against your rights); and compliance with our legal obligations.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. We may share information with:

• Service providers and processors — such as website hosting and content delivery, analytics, and email or messaging providers, who process information on our behalf under appropriate confidentiality and data-protection terms;
• App stores and payment processors — where you install an app or make a payment, those providers process the information needed to deliver that service under their own privacy policies;
• Legal and safety — where required by law, regulation, or legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Edge Stone Technologies, our users, or others; and
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.

Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy — for example, to respond to your enquiry, deliver and support our services, and meet legal, accounting, or operational requirements — after which it is deleted or anonymised. Retention periods depend on the type of information and why we hold it.

Data security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International data transfers

Edge Stone Technologies is based in the United States, and the information we process may be stored and processed in the United States or other countries where we or our service providers operate. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure it remains protected in line with this policy and applicable law, including appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses where required.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights. To exercise them, contact us using the details below; we will respond within the time required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity first.

• Access, correct, update, or delete the personal information you have provided;
• Object to or request that we restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent at any time;
• Request a copy of certain information in a portable format; and
• Opt out of marketing communications at any time.

Residents of the EEA/UK may also lodge a complaint with their local data-protection supervisory authority.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA) have the right to know about and access the personal information we collect, to request its deletion or correction, to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, and to limit the use of sensitive personal information. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Account and data deletion

You can request deletion of your account and associated personal information at any time by emailing us using the details in the "Contact us" section below. We will verify your request and delete the relevant information within a reasonable period, except where we are required or permitted by law to retain it. If you use one of our apps, you may also be able to delete your account directly from within the app.

Children's privacy

Our website, apps, and services are intended for businesses and adults and are not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

Cookies and analytics

We may use cookies, local storage, and standard website analytics to operate the site, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use our content so we can improve it. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, although some features may not function as intended if you do.

Third-party links

Our website and apps may link to third-party websites or services that we do not operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date shown at the top of this page, and for material changes we will take additional steps to notify you where appropriate.
